Chad Channing

Chad Channing (born January 31, 1967 in Bainbridge Island, WA) is an American musician who was a former drummer for the band Nirvana from 1988 until 1990, when he left the band due to creative differences. Contrary to popular belief, it was a mutual decision and no hard feelings existed on either side.[citation needed] Amongst various Nirvana releases (singles etc), Channing appears as drummer on both the Bleach and Incesticide LPs, as well as the cymbal crash in the Nevermind version of "Polly."
