Chad Channing (born January 31, 1967) was a drummer for the band Nirvana from 1988 until he left due to creative differences within the band in 1990 (contrary to popular belief, his departure was a mutual decision within the band with no hard feelings on either side). He was later replaced in Nirvana by Dave Grohl after a lengthy search by fellow band members Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic.

Chad was a natural at the drums and began jamming with friends before playing gigs at local clubs.
