We love a good face off, but you know what's even better than that? A drum off of course! This isn't just any old versus match though. American talkshow host Jimmy Fallon invited actor Will Ferrell and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith to compete against one another.
The thing is these two look freakishly alike! They are basically doppelgängers with matching Kiss t-shirts. This has been a long time in the making. The Anchorman star first accepted Smith's challenge back in February 2013, claiming that it will be: "the greatest drum v. cowbell showdown the world has ever seen."

And let's just say they didn't disappoint. Both men put in an impressive performance and the provided plenty of the obligatory smack talk. At one point Will even quipped: "That's cute. Do play for the Lukewarm Chili Peppers?"
Of course, Chad had a slight advantage given that he actually plays the drums for a living, whereas Will had a ghost drummer supplying him with the correct sounds. However, once he gave the game away, Ferrell had a back up plan.
The 46-year-old whipped out a cow bell and out came the rest of the Red Hot Chili Peppers as they rocked out together.
Despite Smith's advantage, Will managed to snatch the title, as Jimmy announced him as the winner.
