Will Ferrell appears to have accepted Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith's drum-off challenge, as long as its for charity

Last week it was pretty hilarious when the similarity in looks between Will Ferrell and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith was brought to light in a Reddit Ask Me Anything session. As a result, Smith decided to challenge Ferrell to a drum battle, and now Ferrell has responded, in the condition that it's for charity.

In a separate AMA hosted by Smith, Ferrell chimed in: "Hi, Chad. Will Ferrell here. I saw your video and I graciously accept your invitation to a drum battle. If we can raise $300,000 (£182,000) for Cancer For College I 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 shared his opinion in the AMA as well: "I have to comment that I think 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."

We'll see when the battle could possibly go down. If Ferrell channels some of his Ron Burgundy and jazz flute intuition, it could be pretty brutal.
