Later in the clinic JC also shared his thoughts on his part on this: *why am i stomping on the hihat endlessly?!*. Lately he's been trying to get away from using that as a crutch for timekeeping
What an amazing drummer. I'm glad he survived his addiction years.
Saw them when he came back for the first time post 96 fallout, I think it was the album Machina (Melissa A. was on bass.) I would have been around 20 or so. Mesmerizing.
It is ridiculous how effortless he plays.
Reminds me of Matt Cameron that way.
for real just insane. he looks like he's sitting at the breakfast table reading the newspaper.
@@TexasGreed 😂😂😂😂
@@michaelleskauskas3645 totally agree. They are my 2 favorite drummers from the 90's. Both don't get their due IMHO.
@@willjam465 I have a friend who was the same generation in Chicago when they were catching fire and he said Jimmy is a pretty big jerk to people. May have something to do with it.
Billy Corgan put himself into Siamese Dream to an obsessive degree... the songwriting, the 50 guitar overdubs on each track, it created a wall of sound. But the foundation of that wall absolutely was Chambelin, to the same degree that Bonzo was for Zep, he's that important - without him Billy's vision wouldn't have been possible, because he was part of that vision, so much so that the songwriting probably revolved around what a great weapon this guy is/was.
Yeah, on the SD album Corgan plays all the instrument parts except drums, for obvious reasons. People rave, and rightly so, about SP's guitar sound bit videos like this show how big a part of their overall sound was Chamberlin on drums.
There are only two people you can't replace in the pumpkins and we all know who they are.
not true. i dont know where you got that information. the most overdubs there ever was were 40 and that was for Soma. the rest of the album was 10 - 15.

My recollection of this isn't from anything I read but in a TV interview at the time of release where he said something like 60-70 tracks on the more dense parts for layering. On wikipedia there is a quote from Butch Vig saying they used up 100. Doubtful anyone knew exactly as I believe this was done in analog which means there would be a lot of mixing down, so yes, higher numbers are likely an exaggeration and a quote from Billy a few years removed from the process probably would be the most accurate.
@@brandall101 Pretty sure there is a hefty section at the beginning of the tablature for SD where Billy talks about this, too. I learned guitar from that tablature book. Regardless of the exact amount, it was Metallica-level shiz. Quite impressive.
That intro is pure jazz. Jimmy plays these loose but extremely technical, soulful, kind of aggressive jazz chops and it’s so perfect. But that godly snare sound…him and Dave Grohl inject so much of their personality into the kit. I prefer Jimmy’s style to be honest. Seriously underrated.
Can you imagine what Siamese Dream and Gish would sound like with a different drummer? I’d rather not
Come on man. This man isn’t underrated in the slightest. He’s gotten his due since the start.
I feel it’s a pure samba like a whole Brazilian carnival block
One of the most distinctive signature styles you'll find, chops for days, amazing snare wrk and tone. I've copped everything within my ability from him. My uni drum instructor (a jazzer) wasn't interested/impressed by anything I'd bring in,... until I brought in Tristessa. I dig Stuart Copeland but Jimmy Chamberlain will always be my favorite drummer, just hearing him makes me want to practice.
Tristessa is an absolute masterpiece. I can actually SEE in my mind when only listening to it, when he plays that song. It's hard to explain, but when that first snare roll happens with the rimshots it looks like a little angry tornado spinning around the snare and then evaporating into the rest of the music.
Jimmy Chamberlin has always been awesome
I was in the center front row for this. It was truly incredible.
jealous!
Jimmy Chamberlin, Danny Carey and Josh Freese. My holy trinity of modern drumming.
Phil Yates And Tim Alexander
Check out Kai Hahto and Tomas Haake when convenient
@@4zafinc Will do. Cheers for the recommendation!
Yeah I can feel that.
Truth
He hits the crash w such force. Heavy hands when he needs them to be.
An absolute masterpiece. I would only love to hear him play 'Bodies'.
Yes! Agreed
I've listened to this about 20 times, easily, and I still find new things.
It's hard to listen to music that doesn't have Chamberlain on drums.
It really is!!
Jimmy is the best! The Smashing Pumpkins got me through high-school.
Saw them live on their melancholy and the infinite sadness tour.
One of the best shows and nights of my life!
A great and unique drummer.
Big fan of Jimmy. Thank you for sharing this!
He’s better than Danny Carey
Amazing!! He takes a simple funk beat and turns it into a beautiful masterpiece filled with rudimentary fills that are extremely colorful. Great work Jimmy!
There is no room for another kick drum . He is the single kick monster 👍💪👍💪
What a monster drummer, especially over Billy’s solo after the slow part. Snare work is just ridiculous
One of the best drum songs ever!
I could listen to just him all day!
Just listened to the remastered album version on good headphones.
I cant even begin to describe what it did to me, fuck, it was intense.
I had to come here to process my emotions.
Freaking master. He plays with such finesse. It’s incredible. One of the best of all time. It’s a shame the band hasn’t had a hit in so long.
I know nothing in the technical sense about drumming, but Jimmy is literally the first and only dummer in a band to whom I truly enjoyed listening. He adds so many extra layers and undertones to an already enormous sounding band. While certainly competent, most drummers I’ve heard could never add anything to or complement the Pumpkins’ music. Jimmy’s chops are so lively and full-bodied and timbre-rich that the drums stand out as a primary instrument rather than just a platform for the band to ride upon. When I’ve heard SP with another drummer, things sound ordinary, pedestrian. With Jimmy, there’s so much energy that it’s like hearing two extraordinary drummers propelling SP off into a higher orbit. Just outstanding ✌🏼
My favorite drummer and the sound he gets out of them awesome🤘😲
Still as amazing as ever.
It doesn't really look that hard when Jimmy plays it. :p
Totally my thoughts exactly ..took word right out of my mouth
Came to say this.
I don't think it's a crutch -- as a guitarist, I LOVE it because it cuts and makes it so much easier to keep count.
If you're talking about High Hat pulse , I think it adds another level of skill to drumming because it's another level of coordination. It's in no way near a crutch!
@@PMurray2694
Jimmy himself said it. It’s in the video description.
3:07-3:27. Just amazing.
Yeah the fill at the end of that section is slick.
@@rbjax2001 and his playing looks effortless
Jimmy's drumkit is alive. That's about the only way I can describe it. It's musical, and transcends mere percussion.
Truly amazing to have a world class jazz drummer in a world class rock band as they peak.
Jimmy is a god
Such a brilliant drummer he is. That kind of technical versatility is not absent, but very rare is alternative rock. One of the best of his generation for sure. If not the best.
So effortlessly perfect . He stands alone in style.
The master
An unsung hero from the 90’s.
Yamahas have always sounded great no matter what. But Jim takes it to a whole new level!!
One of best musician in writing drum tracks. 👍👍
The dude remembers his parts! Every intricate fill, plus a little extra. Idk how he does that.
favorite drummer of all time!
Vinnie Paul and Jimmy Chamberlin.
My muses and inspirations
Jimmy is fucking awesome
Not sure why, but I really thought he passed away a few years back. Then I see this and think, wait, he was round in 2019...so I look him up and yeah, he's alive and kicking. One of the few bright spots this year. He sounds f'ing fantastic. He was such an iconic drummer in shifting away from the 80s style into the much more groove oriented drumming of the 90s.
great drummer. My favorite SP song of any albums.
So what you’re saying is, Jimmy was octopusing his way through jazz styles this whole time?
And I was jealous AF in high school (97-01) that none of my band friends who knew Jazz drumming wanted to dip into alternative.
@@ArtbyKurtisEdwards Loads of jazz drummers had a light touch on the drums but not all. Guys who played in Big Band, often played in large halls with zero P.A. system and had to be heard over dozens of instruments. Louis Belleson was the first to make a double bass drum kit approach famous. The tandard drumset that we all know and love very much originated from the American jazz club scene and it was a melting pot of World music styles and techniques. Jimmy knows and loves the history and how to play pretty much all that good stuff.
@@ArtbyKurtisEdwardseven now looking for a drummer with jazz chops who wants to play alternative/rock is tough. But they truly make the best rock drummers: Bill Ward, Ian Paice, Jimmy Chanberlain etc. it’s a sweet mixture
Even the choice of cymbals sound correct!
For Gen X-ers, that silence followed by the roll out at 4:10 is our "In The Air Tonight" moment.
The rolls to kick back in the final section are some of my favorite ones.
Jimmy's a Friggin' Machine... WOW!
My absolute favourite drum track of all time. Every note is tasteful as fuck
Another Drumming masterclass by jimmy
pumpkins best song imo
1:01 I love how his ride cymbal looks like an 8” toy from this angle. 😂
My favorite drum performance. When I think of Geek, the first thing I think of is the drums.
love jamming this song. thanks for sharing the video!
This is fucking epic.
His left calf has to be made of adamantium.
He is such a bad ass. Live he plays this at warp speed but still gets all that stuff in.
“Jerry was a race-car driver, he drove so goddamn fast”
jimmy chamberlain & matt cameron was the best drummer in alternative rock era..
Yeah, don't see enough love for Matt, Soundgarden's songs moved forward to his beat. Very underrated.
Danny Carey
Everyone else has a heart attack bursting out sweating collapsing falling off the kit trying to play this song at this pace all the way through and Jimmy looks like he can smoke a cigarette playing it full speed not a drop of sweat while taking to his woman on his Bluetooth like " ya hunnie I'm just in the middle of doing my blowing everyone away thing again talk to you when I get home k "
Those toms sound great
did he play United States at this clinic? Even if he tossed in Jellybelly, FU-An Ode To No One, or Tale of a Scorched Earth (which SP never played live I believe) would have blown minds. I get it that Tonight, Tonight was a huge hit, but cmon, he has such more dynamic, showcase-worthy performances (and I am sure I am forgetting some!)
Why would you film a screen when the drummer is playing right in front of you?
Captain Cool To be fair, the screen is giving you multiple angles.
@@flightgravity7483 I suppose... I think it also sounds better when the camera is on Jimmy. Any who... I love Jimmy's playing, the man is a beast on the kit!
So we get a glimpse of what the fuck he is doing.
very elegant...what a drummer...
やっぱりめちゃくちゃ上手いな、ジミー。この人のバスドラすげぇんだよな、パワフルだし細かいし。
Didn’t even break a sweat.
I want that snare sound
I love it!
Master class.
Always knew this would be in the setlist circa 1996 had he not left ... was so disappointed
I just applauded with an audience in a CZcams video.
A master.
When the Pumpkins fired Jimmy they wouldn't play this song live because none of the drummers they hired could play it right. He has such a distinct style from his Jazz playing mixed with the rock... such a beast of a player.
I wish he played it at the tempo from pinkpop 1994
The best 🌎
Jimmy es la mera verga!! 🤯🤯
He makes this bitch of a song to play on drums look fucking easy.
Mr Flam.
Where’s the rest videos of that session? I need to see them. Lol
Razor sharp chops man, his left foot isnt a crutch to me, its a signature.
John Bonham style
Who exactly are the 6 nincompoops that disliked this video???
Looks so easy when he is playing, when i try is impossible
1:04 God himself came down to attend the masterclass.
This is definitely one of the guys that could have helped led zep if jason bonham wasn't around.
Much better than the Weezer drummer who seem to not remember how to play the song live and plays a novice version.
Imma guitar player... Does Chamberlin keep his set really tight next to himself compared to other drummers, or does it not matter really?
That's the thinnest bass drum ever
Why would u do us so wrong on the intro by filming the overhead screen, while the undistorted live angle was right in front of you?!?!
Dude plays like an octopus
ludwig acrolite?
GRODRUMMER
His signature model by Yamaha. Don’t think it’s in the catalogue anymore.
He no longer uses his signature model. Now it's a Yamaha Recording Custom Aluminium RAS1465 (14x6,5) Snare
AWESOME DRUMMER. I wish he would go back to Zildjian or Sabian I prefer those cymbal sounds better, they were brighter, which worked with the music. I love Istanbul, but they sound to dark here.
. 🇧🇷. 🌴
Karl Marx at 1:03
😂😂😂
He was much smoother when he was on H.
not a good cover, but keep trying!!!!!!
1:19 he looks like he's playing a tiny ride cymbal lmao
