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.

Channing later started a band called Fireants after Nirvana and has played in other bands, including The Methodists, East of the Equator, and, most recently, Redband.

Chad's love of music began with a bass guitar, which his parents bought him after an accident during gym class one day at school. The mishap resulted in 8 surgeries and 5 years of recovery. The bass filled Chad's time as he was unable to go to school. When Channing was out of his leg casts, his parents bought him a drum set to help his legs get stronger. Chad was a natural at the drums and began jamming with friends before playing gigs at local clubs.

In 2004, Nirvana's With the Lights Out box set featured a DVD of a December 1988 Nirvana rehearsal with Chad Channing on drums.
