Jimmy Chamberlin/Frank Catalano at the Sh*tty Barn

[@theironshiek]

Funny that probably 70% of the people there had no idea the drummer is one of the greatest drummers of all time who is also in one of the biggest rock bands of all time

[@richiewaring-vr4sk]

Easily my favourite drummer ever and ALWAYS criminally underrated and overlooked in best drummer lists. Lucky enough to see Pumpkins live once and he was amazing...Through the eyes of Ruby took the roof off the place.

[@patton303]

A drummer who’s worth $40 million bucks just playing a crappy gig for 50 bucks. Jimmy is awesome.

[@boristomakic5995]

We all started on crappy gig for 50 bucks, so did he😁

[@rbjax2001]

The beauty of it is I’m sure he doesn’t consider it a crappy gig at all.

[@4G63Tx]

Imagine seeing one of greatest drummers of all time in such an intimate setting though

[@Killenmachine05]

that genuinely seems like a really nice little barn/lounge gig, sometimes those are the best gigs.

[@herbie747]

Why would you call it a crappy gig? It's good enough for Jimmy. Show some class.

[@sodapop1459]

most underrated Drummer on the Planet with the Most Distinct sound and is never ever ever ever ever ever Mentioned, ever!

[@kristopherryanwatson]

you're right about the first part, and obviously sarcastic in the second part. he is underrated as one of the greatest rock drummers ever, but he gets credit. just not enough of it.

[@jaimeflor4181]

Musicians, especially drummers and SP fans know and acknowledge how talented he is. When I was 17, my older friends in a fusion jazz/rock band were big fans of Jimmy. It’s non-musicians & casual fans that aren’t aware. Mostly because they only know songs like Today & 1979. Jimmy shines the most on non-radio songs & projects like this 1 or the Jimmy Chamberlin Complex. When it comes to 90’s rock drummers, JC and Danny Carey from Tool are the best imo.

[@TheNorthwestWind]

I love Cokey McBasschops

[@bulletsandpencils]

Jimmy is my favorite drummer. He should get more recognition. In my opinion, he is the same as neil peart in terms of musicality. True underrated genious.

[@arsenic-bearingvanadinite6812]

Shout out to that bassist for vibin like a madman!

[@jaimeflor4181]

It’s always nice to hear Jimmy Chamberlin playing jazz! It really makes him standout when it comes to drummers from the same era. Danny Carey’s also a favorite of mine. There is 1 young drummer, Greyson Nekrutman, that’s also very jazz influenced. The kid has a lot of potential.

[@steventhomas231]

All the best rock drummers to my mind come from a jazz background.

[@MT-sk1ln]

​@steventomas231 i agree

[@buezplaysvideogames5596]

Jimmy is a genius, was the reason I fell in love with the SP, thanks to him they were on another level (sorry for my english :) )

[@ars4455]

That snare sound and technique..pure Jimmy...

[@higorgroove4083]

Chamberlin is a best drummer in the planet !

[@otineb5]

Jimmy Chamberlin is certainly one of the best. As the late Buddy Rich once stated when asked who the best drummer in the world was, he answered, "I don't know, It could be some kid hangin' on the corner somewhere in Ohio right now".

[@cdreyes81]

So smooth its criminal

[@mathewshaw2772]

Its Chamberlin..You know its gonna make ya head fall off! Just brilliant.

[@Jelly78676]

Love Jimmy. Greatest drummer in the world!

[@crk140]

Love Jimmy, but he’s not even close to the best drummer on the planet

[@peteasarisi2536]

My kid been on a SP kick so getting to revist JC snare work has been a blissful walk down memory avenue especially on GISH just a bunch of killer songs too. Love this dude

[@BobbyJetty1502]

Gish is their best album in my opinion by far. When it came out in 1990 I played that tape cassette until I had to tape it together a couple times

[@peteasarisi2536]

@@BobbyJetty1502 oh yea! i remember getting Ritual de la habitual in the summer of '90 & Gish a few months later & i probably didnt listen to anything else until The Melvins Houdini came out. So psyched my kids loves the Pumpkins

[@otineb5]

The Mighty Burner, one of my favorite tunes by Frank Catalano, and I love watching Jimmy play this tune because he's so versatile and relaxed. Thank you for posting this, it's rare to have footage of Jimmy Chamberlin that close up. It would have been nice to see more close ups of his foot action, he's got an amazing foot technique as well as in is wrists too.

[@rbjax2001]

otineb5 great comment. Totally agree. Saw jimmy up super close at green mill in Chicago and couldn’t believe how loosely he holds his sticks and the power he generates. Master technician.

[@andrewljacob]

I've seen Jimmy play with Zwan and the Pumpkins on relatively grand stages in Toronto, but this video of Jimmy playing on a stripped-down kit in a small venue is perhaps the most inspiring thing I've seen him do, possibly because I can see myself doing something remotely like this at some point in the future and with a lot more practice. Great tune, too.

[@kristopherryanwatson]

my god this was just a pleasure to watch. Jimmy is criminally too good of a drummer. definitely one of my favorites of all time,....of one of my favorite bands of all time. I really love his Jazz and solo stuff too. What i would give to have been here.

[@aaronwoods5426]

This is one of my favorite drum videos of all time🤘 The smoothness is too much!

[@JamesM1868]

RIFFING OUT! This is amazing. Nothing like seeing live music like this. I’ve always said a small jazz band in a small venue can play with as much intensity as an arena rock band. With the mighty Jimmy Chamberlin behind the kit, even more true.

[@TheAnalogRebellion]

The consistency of Jimmy's rimshots is hypnotizing.

[@sgt.thundercok4704]

Almost as good as John Densmore.

[@DrevPile]

Wow this is wicked. Don't know how I missed this one!

[@cass2303]

Best drummer in the world

[@garrethboland]

Saw this band at Tonic Room in Chicago a few years ago. Spoke with Jimmy and shook his hand because he was just standing around the bar before the show. Also, Bob Saget and Adrian Grenier were in the crowd. Literally cannot make this up.

Jimmy got me with his ability and now I love him bc of his soul

[@nickparsons337]

As a huge Pumpkin's fan since literally the dawn of being a teenager, and loving the band so much that I just had to hear everything about each members musical background/influences; I was intrigued and very impressed with seeing him drum in his traditional jazz upbringing. Fucking nothing short of amazing. He was meant for The Pumpkin's like John Densmore was meant for The Doors.

[@4G63Tx]

I saw The Pumpkins last night in Austin TX and they were amazing, Jimmy did a badass solo and when they played Stand Inside Your Love I weaned nuts! Love the drumming on that song

[@nickparsons337]

@@4G63Tx Hell yeah man. I've only gotten to see them once. Unfortunately it was on the leg of the tour for Mellon Collie after Jimmy was kicked out in St. Louis. Still amazing, but as a musician; I heard EVERYTHING that was missing as far as the drumming was concerned. Jimmy was sorely missed that night to say the least. I was pretty bummed out when I found out he wouldn't be there. The guy they had to fill in was good, (I actually think it was the same guy who drummed on Adore.) But lets face facts, Jimmy Chamberlain can't be replaced and a true fan can hear the difference. Glad you got to see them with Jimmy on the drums!

[@tmcmojo2292]

Awesome set!

[@SKragseth]

Got that snare poppin’

[@mrbobawesome]

He always does. His snare work is impeccable.

[@drumsoutfront]

I love his shirt. I just wish buying that shirt would make me play like that. Jaw on the floor, as usual. My favorite drummer of all time, right up there with Peart and Bonham.

[@jamesunger8433]

You know Jimmy is just waiting to break out into a killer solo! He's seems like one of most humble drummers alive and man he's awesome! Jimmy The Great!
