Jimmy Chamberlin on Smashing Pumpkins "JellyBelly" Drum Part

[@LoveStallion]

So great to see one of rock's best drummers sober and happy.

[@MoltenSon]

Fuck yeah it is.

[@Juice5522]

Wurd

[@alvarhanso6310]

Didn't think he would make it out of the 90s.

[@myfirstseven]

Hell yeah. Still making great music and still getting better! How!?

[@SuperFacecloth]

The sense of pride and joy on Jimmy's face at the end is so well earned.

[@chuckjcarter]

It's incredible that at his age he hasn't lost a step whatsoever

[@tinsoldier24]

Jimmy has some of the cleanest rolls of any drummer.

[@doublestrokeroll]

yep...his rudiments are fantastic.

[@litin5564]

He’s a monster on those rolls. Anyone know what type of Istanbul China that is to his left? It’s perfect

[@wswan81]

Facts.

[@malemanjulpax2155]

He used to be jazz drummer

[@ericwalter4771]

He cuts like a knife

[@MykeLewisMusic]

I'm sure I'm not alone in this, but I could hear the entire song along with him as he played. Man, what a drummer.

[@brokenhalo22]

He puts so many accents and fills in to compliment guitar and vocal parts, that you can't help but hear them in your head as he plays. So good!

[@LakesideLofi]

You aren't alone my friend. I was gonna comment that he's one of the few drummers that can write like this. It flows so well you can literally hear the entire song without anything but his drums it's so rad!

[@choirrevolution]

I could hear it all!

[@theastrocosmonaut]

Absolutely! I know it's the other way around, but this song is as if it had been composed on drums first and had all the rest added afterwards.

[@thebrianchannel9890]

Yep. Except now I see it in a different light and realize how insanely difficult it is. Before I never even thought once about the drum part. I just knew it was a cool song.

[@a.x.marcus4627]

Gold. One of the greatest albums of the 90's.

[@nedring987]

Is that a drum-specific room? The drums sound incredible, even on a phone!

[@joshblank1]

In my opinion, the greatest

[@jayrussell3796]

One of the greatest albums EVER. Period

[@lospasacalles7473]

Saw this monster play Jellybelly two days ago in Buenos Aires. He's the heart of the Pumpkins, best rock drummer of his generation. I saw them twice with different drummers, great players in their own way, but no one comes near Jimmy. There's no Pumpkin sound without him.

[@locatolaka]

Los vi ahí también y coincido.. Mike fue bueno, Matt no tanto para SP... Jimmy es irrepetible

[@lospasacalles7473]

@locatolaka Brad Wilk en el 2015 (me encanta en RATM) fue bastante penoso, le quedaron enormes las canciones, son zapatos muy difíciles de llenar.

[@locatolaka]

@lospasacalles7473 quise decir Brad, sí..me confundí! Muy macarra él, no tiene el groove jazzero de Jimmy

[@phoenixdk]

I think it's a testament to a great drum part when you can hear the whole song come through in just the drums. Just the subtle control of dynamics on the kick deserves some kind of medal.

[@Online_ToughGuy]

5:16 DOWN IN THE BELLY OF THE BEAST!!!!

[@BastardLikeAFox]

Same thought when through my mind. Rare I can make out the song through the drums so clearly. Massive talent.

[@about99ninjas56]

Dude. I heard the entire song in my head as he played. So good.

[@Eetshytmothalickaz]

I think you deserve a medal for most boring comment

[@behindthen0thing525]

i've never heard the song so i have no idea what the rest of it sounds like

[@stevenashmore4522]

How fortunate Billy was to have found someone to keep up with him, compliment and even augment his excesses. One of those magical relationships. Also, as an avid beginner when their first records came out, I learned SO much from the first few SP records about just how versatile a snare drum can be. He's magnificent.

[@Liveeruptsuj]

I think their duo matchup of ability is a huge part of what made them famous.

[@studiodsr]

It does almost seem like fate that those two met. They compliment each other unbelievably well. SP never would’ve been what it became without both of them

[@edwardk3]

I heard that he's is not good to woman and he's is toxic gender male

[@zogzoogler]

SP was great despite and because of Billy, but it was nothing without Jimmy.

[@magroves]

Jimmy is my favorite drummer of all time and so inspiring.

[@mikeodil7721]

That snare drum though! That thing just explodes of the kit. Massive sound. Jimmy rocks

[@davidrojas6457]

Top 5 snare tones without question.

[@mtpstv94]

I doubt he brought his kit to that studio. It's probably Rick's.

[@byronwaldron7933]

@@mtpstv94 It's Jimmy's kit through and through. Rick visited the studio.

[@GoranRista]

That was so amazing. The groove was killer, so smooth and in the pocket! He was like a freight train rolling steadily. 👏🏻

What is the pocket?

[@GoranRista]

​@@ryemill7787"pocket" is a consistent groove that neither rushes nor draggs and feels good.

[@stell4r1]

​@@GoranRista I just learned something lol ty

[@mejsjalv]

If you drum, this groove is HOMEWORK! ANYONE would love to play something like this! BTW, I never heard the song before, went to listen, but I'm biased toward the "just the drummer" version now. Once you nail it this is a very nice workout for the drums. Bit metal, bit jazz, bit funky... good times

[@willjam465]

Watched this multiple times...Rick sums up best. That is INSANE! Jimmy is incredible. Such an incredible drummer.

[@codhcod4949]

that kit sounds beautiful

[@robmccoy5207]

Well-maintained.

[@gpeddino]

The drum part is outstanding. It's so smooth and precise, and he plays it with such ease. Amazing.

I could listen to Mr. Chamberlin talk and play all day long.

[@gregsteffey1266]

It’s awesome how transparent he is on this interview.

[@alecj3454]

There are a lot of all time great drummers, but if i was starting a band and could pick anyone i wanted....from any era....I would pick Jimmy Chamberlin. For the music that vibrates my soul, and made me want to play guitar, i dont believe there is a better drummer than Jimmy Chamberlain. He is one of those few drummers that is irreplaceable. No one plays like him, and no one makes a song, blast off like a rocket, like Jimmy. Plus he is one of the most versatile guys out there. He does it all, is humble, and supremely cool. What else could you want? Thank you Jimmy for never letting the hard times stop you! Its such a blessing you are still with us, rocking hard as ever. Thank you Rick. This will go down as one of my favorite interviews, that you did.

Agree. Or. Maybe Tim Alexander. Both are insanely talented!!!

[@mercertj]

Dave Abbruzzese and Jimmy were my two favorites from that era.

[@eddiepierce7028]

I never really sat down and listened the Smashing Pumpkins. I think it’s time for a deep dive!

[@jlsemmes]

Siamese Dream is forever eteched on my soul. Have a good time discovering great music! It ain't metal, nor is it grunge.

[@InTheDecay]

I envy you. SP is a solid mix of The Cure and Black Sabbath. I won't say that every song is a hit but I'll say they have a pretty good track record and the songs that hit, absolutely HIT.

[@thomasnieman7086]

I had the same thought while watching this

[@LapsedPacifist79]

You’re a lucky person. Most people reading this are thinking they wish they could hear it with fresh ears again.

[@m0rvidusm0rvidus18]

Be prepared for some of the worst 'singing' you've ever heard in popular music.

[@ChristopherDillman]

Chamberlin is as smooth and cool as the other side of the pillow. His transitions between grooves and fills are so butter smooth and roll with downhill speed.

[@chilly6470]

Oh Jimmy, all these years later and you still give me chills. The first time I heard Jellybelly, I was floored.

[@thomasmandeno2776]

I have always LOVED this song from Mellon Collie.

[@divisiona3974]

What a workout. Awesome. Straight to tape, people. Mad respect. Thanks for the music, Jimmy.

[@LiquidAudio]

What I love about Rick is that he giggles with the same musical enthusiasm we all do and I certainly did at the end of Jimmy's jam. My favourite music channel, good on you Rick!

[@camerriam]

Rick knows a genius when he sees one

[@burnte]

Love seeing Jimmy do so well. Brilliant drummer and musician. Smashing Pumpkins wouldn’t have made it without him.

[@MrNullifier]

Im having goosebumps watching Jimmy play. It's such an awesome song

[@AutismRocksOfficial]

Saw them in Atlanta this year with Green Day. Smashing Pumpkins still got it. Show was amazing!

[@dave_s_vids]

Just incredible. You can tell Rick is absolutely geeking out being in the same room!

[@drumbum.ireland]

Unreal!! What a drummer! 👏👏👏❤️🥁

[@brianfruman123]

Absolute beast on the drums. Saw him live at metro for Gish album release party.

[@ehiggin]

Melon collie was one of my favorite albums in high school. So wonderful to see this now, and to see various aspects of the album unpacked on this channel. Really wonderful. Jelly belly is a crazy track!

[@viStringTheory]

What a performance! The orchestration of his drum part in that song...chef's kiss!

[@jetally]

Jimmy is one of my idols. He is an amazing drummer. I got to shake his hand after a concert at the Bronco Bowl. His drumming is powerful, primal. I'm so happy to see him looking so well.

[@09nob]

He's such an integral part of their music, his drumming is evocative and idiosyncratic. What a great drummer.

[@Punchypax]

What a treat to hear Jimmy play that start to finish. I have a new appreciation for a song I already loved so much. Frenetic is definitely the word! 🧡

[@SB-bq7qs]

This is amazing! I first got into SP back when I was 14 and just entering high school and as a drummer this was the first song that really stuck out to me because of the drums. I'm in awe of FINALLY seeing Jimmy play this song and finally seeing how he played some of those fills after 20 years!! Thank you SO much for this!

[@gfunkk]

got to meet Jimmy at a soundcheck once and he is the most gracious dude on top of being one of the great monsters of the kit.

[@oysterhead5150]

Jimmy is the man! His drumming with Pumpkins is underrated at times, especially his earlier stuff, killer!

[@EDDIE.EDDISON]

Still one of my favourite videos ever!! Jimmy is just simply incredible.

His groove on the ride cymbal is so great. Also, I always loved his snare sound.

Jimmy never got enough love as a drummer, but he is and was fucking great! Love it!

Jimmy is a living drum machine😂😂😂 jelly is one of my fav all time songs of all songs, and ode to noone. Hearing Jimmy talk about these songs is so incredible and uplifting in times of instability

[@bertgetner9397]

That's probably the most insane drumming I've ever heard for a song. Absolutely incredible. It's mind boggling to think he could hear someone else make a mistake while performing that.

[@jakesguitarvidz]

Rick, this is maybe your best interview so far. Jimmy hits all the interesting points of production, technique and recording. Congrats.

[@theastrocosmonaut]

This is the Videoclip I was waiting to see since the year 1995! 😃

[@keithkinack2013]

Jimmy has ALWAYS been so solid. Growing up I tried to play like him and MCATIS was one of my go to albums to try to mimic.

I love the high tuned toms with sustain. Sounds amazing!

[@amberws7468]

I always knew Jimmy was an outstanding drummer, but this guy just came on your show and delivered a legit keeper take of one of the band's most difficult songs on the spot! Insane!

Jimmy will always be one of my favorite drummers. His drum parts took Billy’s songs to an entirely new level that most drummers wouldn’t be able to do.

[@dpclerks09]

He's just one of the best to EVER do it. A True Master.

[@JGsBBQ]

He's impressive! Always loved his drumming on SP albums 🤙🏼. Thx guys!!

[@theastrocosmonaut]

Thank you so much Rick for chosing this banger of a song for him to show us how to play! 👍

[@alexandermilde]

I have always been impressed by his musicality, complexity and the art of playing the snare. One of my absolute favorites!

[@davidr1620]

I saw the Pumpkins in 2018 for the first time. As magical as it was hearing so many of my favorite songs live, I truly can't explain how much of the main highlight was hearing Jimmy play live. It's one of those things that you might take for granted when you hear a record or watch a video. When you hear it in person, it's a new experience.

[@dprahn02]

I was so spoiled growing up.. The other drum part I just absolutely love is Set the Ray to Jerry. So so good.

[@theastrocosmonaut]

I'd like to second that! The way the drums adds emotions to that particular song is simply magical.

[@JordynP-rf9yb]

I love that Jimmy owns how amazing the drumming in JB is!

I could just listen to Jimmy play by himself for hours. So good. Reminds me of the old Metro 3rd floor days.

[@thepirhomancer9745]

And I wonder how much if that is just the way he plays it!

[@joelkelly3225]

@@thepirhomancer9745 It's definitely the way he plays it, he knows how to get so much texture and tone out of his snare with his array of rimshots and edge snare hits in amongst his single strokes in the middle of the snare.

The drums sound incredible he is incredible but what is your honest take on his cymbals? Genuinely I didn't enjoy any of the ones he was using.

[@johncollins5552]

​@@anthonypearce5389 very splashy😂 I guess he requires that fast decay because of the high tempos.
