What an amazing drummer. I'm glad he survived his addiction years.

It is ridiculous how effortless he plays.

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.

Jimmy Chamberlin has always been awesome

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.

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

He hits the crash w such force. Heavy hands when he needs them to be.

I was in the center front row for this. It was truly incredible.

I've listened to this about 20 times, easily, and I still find new things.

Jimmy Chamberlin, Danny Carey and Josh Freese. My holy trinity of modern drumming.

An absolute masterpiece. I would only love to hear him play 'Bodies'.

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!

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.

A great and unique drummer.

It's hard to listen to music that doesn't have Chamberlain on drums.

What a monster drummer, especially over Billy’s solo after the slow part. Snare work is just ridiculous

There is no room for another kick drum . He is the single kick monster 👍💪👍💪

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!

I could listen to just him all day!

One of the best drum songs ever!

Big fan of Jimmy. Thank you for sharing this!

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 ✌🏼

An unsung hero from the 90’s.

It doesn't really look that hard when Jimmy plays it. :p

My favorite drummer and the sound he gets out of them awesome🤘😲

Still as amazing as ever.

Truly amazing to have a world class jazz drummer in a world class rock band as they peak.

Jimmy's drumkit is alive. That's about the only way I can describe it. It's musical, and transcends mere percussion.

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.

So effortlessly perfect . He stands alone in style.

favorite drummer of all time!

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.

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.

Yamahas have always sounded great no matter what. But Jim takes it to a whole new level!!

Jimmy is a god

One of best musician in writing drum tracks. 👍👍

3:07-3:27. Just amazing.

The dude remembers his parts! Every intricate fill, plus a little extra. Idk how he does that.

love jamming this song. thanks for sharing the video!

The master

For Gen X-ers, that silence followed by the roll out at 4:10 is our "In The Air Tonight" moment.

great drummer. My favorite SP song of any albums.

Jimmy's a Friggin' Machine... WOW!

“Jerry was a race-car driver, he drove so goddamn fast”

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.

I love it!

Another Drumming masterclass by jimmy

pumpkins best song imo

So what you’re saying is, Jimmy was octopusing his way through jazz styles this whole time?

Master class.

My absolute favourite drum track of all time. Every note is tasteful as fuck

1:01 I love how his ride cymbal looks like an 8” toy from this angle. 😂

Even the choice of cymbals sound correct!

This is fucking epic.

Jimmy is fucking awesome

His left calf has to be made of adamantium.

My favorite drum performance. When I think of Geek, the first thing I think of is the drums.

A master.

He is such a bad ass. Live he plays this at warp speed but still gets all that stuff in.

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 "

very elegant...what a drummer...

Those toms sound great

I just applauded with an audience in a KZfaq video.

Didn’t even break a sweat.

jimmy chamberlain & matt cameron was the best drummer in alternative rock era..

Always knew this would be in the setlist circa 1996 had he not left ... was so disappointed

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!)

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。

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.

Where’s the rest videos of that session? I need to see them. Lol

Why would you film a screen when the drummer is playing right in front of you?

I want that snare sound

Jimmy es la mera verga!! 🤯🤯

He makes this bitch of a song to play on drums look fucking easy.

I wish he played it at the tempo from pinkpop 1994

Who exactly are the 6 nincompoops that disliked this video???

Looks so easy when he is playing, when i try is impossible

Mr Flam.

Razor sharp chops man, his left foot isnt a crutch to me, its a signature.

1:04 God himself came down to attend the masterclass.

Imma guitar player... Does Chamberlin keep his set really tight next to himself compared to other drummers, or does it not matter really?

This is definitely one of the guys that could have helped led zep if jason bonham wasn't around.

John Bonham style

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?!?!

1:19 he looks like he's playing a tiny ride cymbal lmao

ludwig acrolite?

Dude plays like an octopus

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!!!!!!
