In a video posted last week via Funny or Die, Smith called out his lookalike Ferrell for his drumming abilities or lack thereof. Ive seen your skills, says Smith. You dont got em.During Smiths recent Reddit AMA, Ferrell responded, writing, Hi, Chad. Will Ferrell here. I sawyour videoand I graciously accept your invitation to a drum battle. If we canraise $300,000 for Cancer for CollegeI will face off with you in the greatest drum vs. cowbell showdown the world has ever seen.We can do it on stage at a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert or in front of a mutually convenient public library. Your call.Also, would you rather fight a hundred duck sized ducks or one horse sized horse?

Smith poked at Ferrell earlier in the AMA. When asked if the drum battle would actually happen, the drummer replied, Mr. Ferrell is a delusional imposter. It seems to me that he has gone off his meds and he needs to seek professional help because I am obviously more talented and handsome than he is. You know, his cowbell work is well-documented, but his drumset skills are nominal based on Step Brothers the film. Other than wiping his testicles on the drums, which of course I give high marks to.

Tell Will Ferrell anytime, anyplace, Ill take him down. I dont want to embarrass him, but Id say dont bring your family. Especially children. I dont want them to see this.After the AMA, Smith tweeted a picture of himself giving blood with the caption, Gettin juiced for the drum battle.

The uncanny resemblance between the two stars received renewed notice since Ferrell answered a question about it in his AMA earlier this month, but its hardly the first time someone has noticed it. In a 2011 interview with Rolling Stone, Smith was told that after Red Hot Chili Peppers appeared on the cover, everyone thought he was the comedian. After mentioning that he didnt think they looked alike, he recounted the only time the two met each other.

It was at the premiere of Ladies Man many years ago, said Smith. Im looking at Will and thinking, People really think I look like him? I dont fucking look like that. He looks me up and down and says, Youre very handsome, and walks away. Totally deadpan. I was like, Youre funny. Youre funny.'

No date or location has been determined for the battle.
