According to The Pulse Of Radio, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer Chad Smith says he's ready for a second drum-off with his lookalike, actor Will Ferrell, after the latter won their first round in a controversial decision on "The Tonight Show" earlier this year. Smith wrote online, "Will Ferrell claims he's coming to Seattle on September 19th. I'll bet he pops off about his alleged 'Drum Off' victory. I just might have to be there to call him out on it and settle the score once and for all. The only way you will know for sure is if you are actually there to see it with your own two eyes."Ferrell is scheduled to head to Seattle on September 19 for a charity event titled "Approximately 90 Minutes With Will Ferrell and Some Other People
