Jimmy Chamberlin on Smashing Pumpkins "JellyBelly" Drum Part

[@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.

[@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

[@codhcod4949]

that kit sounds beautiful

[@robmccoy5207]

Well-maintained.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@GoranRista]

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

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

[@davidrojas6457]

Top 5 snare tones without question.

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

[@byronwaldron7933]

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

[@drumbum.ireland]

Unreal!! What a drummer! 👏👏👏❤️🥁

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

[@willjam465]

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

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

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.

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

[@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.

[@brianfruman123]

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

[@divisiona3974]

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

[@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

[@DeuceDeuceBravo]

All you can do is laugh. Fantastic.

[@Rubblechops]

Even more amazing when heard as a solo. Bravo

[@AutismRocksOfficial]

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

[@samstevenson5328]

Jimmy Chamberlin really is the “Stewart Copeland” of the Smashing Pumpkins. PHENOMENAL technical proficiency…

God I love His snare sound.

[@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.

[@anthonypearce5389]

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.

[@johncollins5552]

Jimmy needs to play UFIP cymbals, they have the unique rotocasting, purest sound.

[@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!

[@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! 🧡

[@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!

[@chilly6470]

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

[@crimskeyofficial8474]

Incredible drumming but that kit sounds absolutely perfect

[@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

[@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.

[@burnte]

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

[@stonerdemon]

Damn this dude knows how to treat a drum kit with class. Really sweet.

[@Defleshuary]

YEARS ago I went to a drum clinic of his. I left with an even bigger admiration for his playing, but also left with a huge positive impression of Yamaha drums as he talked about his relationship with them over the years.

[@securitymonkee5390]

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

[@1loveMusic2003]

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

This was always my favorite Pumpkins track, and hearing the drums by themselves, and seeing him play it, just makes me smile

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

At 4:14 absolute magic begins! Holy cow that’s incredibly impressive👏🏻

[@jasonfitzpatrick2197]

One of the best to ever sit behind a kit.

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.

[@oysterhead5150]

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

[@alexandermilde]

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

[@randall9000]

Jimmy, Dave Abbruzzese, Dave Grohl, Matt Cameron, Danny Carey, and more. Lots of talent back in the 90’s, one could argue it was the golden age of drumming
