The Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock (Drum Cover)

[@WeWantYouToStay]

Jimmy Chamberlain has possibly the best groove of any modern rock drummer, dude is insane

[@ColmDowling]

Agreed

[@WeWantYouToStay]

That little fill at 0:25 right before the main riff comes in and that groove following is one of my favourite drum moments ever. Great cover btw!

[@papafoundry5537]

WeWantYouToStay Most of the drummers in the 90s were overlooked and it's a shame

[@TheSiameseDreamer]

he absolutely does

[@marcusmcclelland]

he is underrated.

[@Mark1drummer-jf1sw]

I been playing drums everyday for 25 years and have never commented on any other drummers, but have to say everything about that cover was absolutely brilliant, top class

[@codybolton8126]

Playing along to Jimmy Chamberlain is how I grew up playing the drums. I love your ability to hear all the little ghost notes on the snare and play it damn near perfect. Great song, great band, GREAT COVER!

[@spookypunky]

same. And Nirvana

[@thomasjefferson2676]

The drums in this song is what convinced me I wanted to learn drums when I was 12 years old. The symbol work is so smooth and groovy in this

[@Baron42797]

More Pumpkins!

[@ColmDowling]

Baron42797 Will be doing some more in the future ;)

[@nunodasilva5449]

Soma. is it too much to ask?

[@nyker999]

Wow, if I wasn’t impressed with the whole cover, the ending would have done it. Fantastic shat. Keep inspiring this 57 year old man on his first set.

[@Gmork-The-Nothing]

Who are the jealous, envious, sorry little excuses for people that gave this the thumbs down? This guy nailed it. Like, recording nailed it and played with passion. Scum bags.

[@michael350p6]

nailed it

[@perrannormanshire8783]

I have been waiting for this for ages dude! Tell me you have it nailed?

[@Orefamilylawncare]

This is a great example of why an acoustic set prevails!! Well done.

[@cory_cx]

honestly watched this cover 15 times in the past week ahh

[@Gravehop187x]

The most underrated drummer

[@maxyboy9648]

Thanks dude this is one of my favorite punk indie rock songs from the pumpkins ever

[@MickaelTollemer]

So nice ! This song is more hard than someone think, and you play it perfectly

[@ColmDowling]

+Mickael Tollemer Thanks man

[@aceventurablaze]

I think so 2

[@TheSiameseDreamer]

Love that you keep the hi-hat going like JC

[@geoffhuber8026]

Agreed!! Top chops bro! Excellent production, sound, and fluid play. Jimmy would approve.

[@TheSiameseDreamer]

Jimmy has such a groove! Love it! Nailed it!

[@dylanfrench4344]

That ride is soooo nice

[@miller2235]

You should do Hummer! That song is beautiful towards the end on the drums.

[@Mittsthetfordyall]

These drums in this room sound phenomenal man, incredible

[@jordanpene5279]

The Smashing Pumpkins is my life long favourite band and this is one of my most treasured songs iv'e listened to probably in excess of 1000 times and know every nuance of this song and your pretty damn close to perfect.... Rock on dude!!! i'm loving it.

[@Ticonderous1]

Jordan Pene.. There are far worse bands to have as your favourite .. Nice choice ...

[@motogpboy]

Not a drummer (guitar player) so can’t speak to it on that level, but there’s something in that 3:50 - 3:55 fill that while maybe not looking all that special really sounded like the apex of the drumming in this song. It puts a climactic punch on the entire thing.

[@philiplauzon1743]

Wow man, perfect rendition. Awesome feels and groove. Perfect timing, exact fills. You are the MAN 🤘😎

[@ShadQuakeFix]

Almost a decade of finding this gem. Cudos man, hopefully your livin out life drummin like a machine like in this vid!

[@andrewljacob]

Great job! And proof that you don't need 5 toms to play JC's parts... cool setup if I may say so

[@michaelh404]

The best Smashing Pumpkins song by the best cover drummer

[@68046Matt]

Man he really nailed it. Love this song. Probably gonna get a drum set just like his to play Smashing pumpins and Greenday songs. Miss my teenage years :(

[@smokegrassnpetcats]

buddy, i have no idea if your account is still active… but i hope youve heard about the saviours tour. im sure youd be over the moon

[@philw9436]

yes, very, very cool .... (I presume the room is fully soundproofed) !! hah hah.... great video , thank you !!)))

[@ihazmeanvids]

You have elevated the song the way it was made to elevate

[@seffyjanze]

Indeed a great track from the Pumpkins , amazing drum part and cover!

[@alejandrorios5780]

This song Is a insane masterpiece

[@Ticonderous1]

Brother you are my Sunday morning chill fest .. watching your awesome coves kicking back having a little sip , never get tired of watching you play .... i probably should be practising .... nah this is so much better....

[@sebastian-pl5bs]

Dude you're honestly teaching me how to play drums. U rock.

[@davidgpeterson]

Holy hell I just watched this again after a long time. What a groove. Unreal.

[@ewont88]

it would be awesome if you did a cover of "hummer" by the pumpkins. such a creative and unique drum track and an unbelievable underrated TSP song. i think you could tear it up.

[@KristinaSchiano]

Sick! You should enter the iRock Drum Contest!

[@justinduprez7590]

love your nirvana covers, but so cool that you play such variety of music. Clean mix and awesome playing per usual!

[@amalanderground]

Nice kit and nice cove. Hi love how Jimmy use those flams they drive me insane.

[@locustkllr]

Some other pumpkins tracks with interesting drums (at least to me) to consider covering- Everlasting Gaze, Rainbows and Sunshowers, Bodies, Tarantula, and anything else off Siamese Dream.

[@mikechapman1992]

Snare sounds amazing

[@chriskenrowan]

Love it when the camera shakes from the beat!

[@nhwtfman]

Great cover of a great song. Really enjoyed watching you play that. Thumbs up.

[@ColmDowling]

Cheers man

[@nhwtfman]

Came back to re-watch and still enjoyed it. Couple of suggestions. First, you faded out at the end as you seemed to be having a serious smile of accomplishment. With that performance, you earned it - I would liked to have seen the happiness. :) Second, a couple of the complicated bass pedal moments had the front camera view instead of the over the shoulder which would have highlighted you nailing those. Seriously though, good job.

[@peterluccitti5459]

This is the kind of drummer i need in my band, fucking amazing

[@estajosue]

You have a warrant out for your arrest for murdering that song.

[@estajosue]

Great job, dude!

[@gregoriolobato3033]

Awesome! (nice stick control!)

[@juanpalos6836]

Brother your floor tom sound thunderous. Killer cover.

[@girmp1]

PERFECTION!!!!! even BARE FOOTED!!!!!

[@patdaveoneil]

Nice cover, I like the way this sounds better than just the song itself.

[@mbernardo123]

Incredible. What a bang up job.

[@mikesimeone4974]

Your drums sound great and you killed it! Well done!

[@andrewpackard5980]

Yaa dude!! Gotta be one of the most exhilarating drum covers to play. I usually just get carried away half way through and start playing my own version. But ya, great job. The whole album has some inspiring drumming.

[@EpicGreenLantern96]

Quiet by the pumpkins! Love that one 😄

[@bobo_da_hobo]

By far the best Jimmy Chamberlain cover I’ve found!

[@hazeleyesohhhryyyon2031]

Has to be one of the funnest songs to play.

[@irok75]

Great feeling you have, You do Chamberlin justice, awesome :)

[@andrewjacobs5750]

Great cover! That guy has some chops

[@Bumbaclot213]

This was amazing! I love to play along to this track in my head when I drum occasionally (pleased to see i’m not too far off it!). Well executed and the expression in your face whilst playing, shows you’re really feeling it - that to me as a drummer, is as important to technical ability and feel, it’s showmanship

[@beanzy619]

I just like watching covers on drums to rate people by their drum face. This guy is pretty good.

[@jamesovenden7570]

Dayum! You smashed that pumpkins song :)
