Timeline

1967

Chad Channing (born January 31, 1967) is an American musician who is best known as the former drummer of the rock band Nirvana from 1988 to 1990, during which time they recorded and released their debut album Bleach; he also appears on "Polly" in the follow-up album Nevermind.

He currently sings and plays bass in the band Before Cars.

Channing was born on January 31, 1967, in Santa Rosa, California, to Wayne and Burnyce Channing.

Wayne was a radio disc jockey and the family was constantly moving all over the country due to different jobs being offered to him.

At 13, Chad shattered his femur in an accident during gym class.

Over the years of rehabilitation and surgeries, he discovered music; he started playing music with a bass guitar that his parents bought him.

The bass filled Chad's time as he was unable to go to school.

When he was out of his leg casts, his parents bought him a drum set to help build strength in his legs.

1985

Channing joined a band with future Nirvana guitarist Jason Everman called Stonecrow in 1985.

Everman had known Channing since fifth grade, and the two had played in bands together in high school.

Later, while working as a sauté cook on Bainbridge Island, Washington, Channing started the band Tick-Dolly-Row with Chris Karr, John Hurd and Ben Shepherd, also a Bainbridge Islander, who would later become the bassist for Soundgarden.

Tick-Dolly-Row shared a bill with Nirvana, who at the time were going under the name Bliss.

Not long after, a mutual friend introduced Channing to Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic, who were searching for a drummer.

The three got together several times for jam sessions before they started playing shows.

1988

In June 1988, a few weeks after Channing joined Nirvana, they recorded their first single "Love Buzz", also marking their Sub Pop debut.

Nirvana began the recording sessions for Bleach on Christmas Eve 1988, finishing toward the end of January 1989.

Everman, a friend of the band, agreed to pay money for recording.

1989

Bleach was released on June 15, 1989.

Channing played drums with the exception of "Floyd the Barber" and "Paper Cuts", which featured Melvins drummer Dale Crover from sessions prior to Channing joining the band.

Reissues of Bleach included the song "Downer", which also had Crover from those sessions.

1990

In April 1990, Nirvana recorded eight songs at Smart Studios with producer Butch Vig for the band's sophomore album, although the sessions were halted after Cobain lost his voice.

During these sessions Cobain and Novoselic became disenchanted with Channing's drumming, and Channing expressed frustration at not being actively involved in songwriting.

These creative and artistic differences culminated in Channing's departure after their April-May 1990 tour, a mutual decision within the band.

Nirvana used the Smart recordings as a demo to secure a new contract with a major label and the band re-recorded the tracks for a new studio album in the fall of 1990, recruiting Dave Grohl as their new drummer who adopted many of Channing's drum parts.

Although uncredited (until the Deluxe edition), the version of "Polly" used on Nevermind is the original version the band recorded with Channing on percussion, the only song carried over from the Smart sessions.

Due to Nirvana's popularity and longevity, the issuing of their older work continued, both during the band's existence and following their demise.

1992

The 1992 compilation Incesticide featured the tracks "Dive", "Stain", and "Big Long Now", all crediting Channing as drummer.

After leaving Nirvana, Channing formed the Fire Ants who released the Stripped EP on Dekema Records in 1992, produced by Jack Endino, who had produced Bleach.

Members of the Fire Ants included Brian Wood (vocals) and Kevin Wood (guitars), brothers of the late Mother Love Bone singer Andrew Wood, and bassist Dan McDonald.

1996

Live versions of "Polly" and "Breed" that included Channing appeared on From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah, a live album released in 1996.

1998

Channing and McDonald collaborated again in 1998 with John Hurd and Erik Spicer, forming The Methodists who released the album Cookie.

2004

The 2004 With the Lights Out box set featured a DVD of a December 1988 Nirvana rehearsal, as well as seven songs scattered across the first two discs of the set, all with Channing on drums.

2006

Chad stepped from behind the drum set to front his new project Before Cars, which released the single "Old Chair" in 2006.

2008

They released their debut album Walk Back in 2008, again produced by Jack Endino.

Channing supplies lead vocals and bass on all tracks as well as some acoustic guitar.

2013

Following Nirvana's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in December 2013, Channing said in an interview with the Radio.com website that he perceived the recognition as a gift for his daughter.

2014

However, Channing was later informed of his omission via text message, and was not included in the April 2014 induction, as the accolade only applied to Cobain, Novoselic and Grohl.

Channing did attend the ceremony, and his replacement Dave Grohl made a point to publicly thank Channing for his contributions to the band and noted that some of Nirvana's most recognizable drum riffs, such as those on "In Bloom", were in fact written by Channing.
