Smashing Pumpkins - Jellybelly

[@Jivanmuktaintraining]

To think, Jimmy played this, along with 15-20 other songs, most nights, for over a year-long tour. Fucking Hercules, man.

That’s what heroin is for

[@WillCorg]

As soon as I heard the opening scream, I knew it was a live cover. Jimmy always tends to play faster in the live versions of their songs, I've heard Billy razz him about it too.

[@TeenieTinyTina]

Man, I love the pumpkins a lot but Billy Corgan sounds like a fucking nightmare to work with. Like I get their music is fantastic but.... man.. The stories I've heard... That being said, working with Billy did end up in the song "Jellybelly" existing and it's easily my favorite song of all time, so.. I guess there's that.

​@@TeenieTinyTina any stories in particular? I'm a pretty big pumpkins fan and he doesn't seem too bad to me, but I don't watch or read that much behind the scenes stuff now like I used to as a kid. I'm thinking he couldn't have been that bad if he mainly put up with drug addicts for a lot of the 90s.

[@spencerschoonenberg1461]

This is exactly what I was hoping for when I searched "JellyBelly Drum Cover"

[@BalloonRace]

Appreciate that. Thanks a lot. It's not perfect but I did what I could with that fast live version.

[@metalqueen17]

I'm a little late but Holy moly... This is the best I've ever heard anyone play/sound this kickass on an electronic kit, wow 👌 Jimmy would be proud!

[@BalloonRace]

Thanks a lot. I appreciate the kind words!

This is absolutely incredible 🔥

[@BalloonRace]

Thanks a lot. It's a little harder now that I'm nearly 10 years older!

[@shivkpuri]

Wow great job! Trying to learn this myself, your video is already so helpful!

[@BalloonRace]

Thanks a lot! If you're learning Jellybelly, I'd advise playing along to the studio version and not one of these live crazy fast versions. This damn near killed me! Good luck!

[@2000jago]

If there ever was a video illustrating single stroke rolls < double stroke rolls, this is it.

[@jyeaman2012]

Props! Such a difficult cover and you nailed it!

[@alenmartinez3130]

Man! you are a beast!

[@BalloonRace]

Thanks a lot! I did my best!

[@marcconcours]

You're a pure genius, a kind of Chamberlin bis. More than your perfect technic, I'm still even more impressed by the "pumpkins rock sensibility" you put in your playing. Congratulations from France :)

[@BalloonRace]

Bonjour! Thanks a lot. My playing is nowhere near perfect and I had to simplify the ending because I just couldn't do it at the speed. Thanks a lot for watching.

[@marcconcours]

ok maybe, but anyway I wish i could play "as bad as you " :)

[@glassslide]

Awesome

[@BalloonRace]

Thanks a lot. It's a killer!

@@leightonhughes6722 It's a killer. I didn't even attempt the 16th notes on the bass drum at the beginning. Forget it.

Very good man

[@hockeylife21]

Nice cover, this still the dm10x? I'm gonna try and find one used for like 400 or 500 and use it. I used to play accoustics back in high school and I wanna get back into playing, but I'm living with 3 buddies up at college in the fall so I think I'd rather get an e-kit. This one seems awesome to emulate playing on a real kit.

Must be a bitch to get all of that subtle jimmy stuff on an electric kit. Great solid tempo man

[@codythegreat21]

holy shit that was flawless. you look a bit like billy, maybe a bit heavier haha

[@BalloonRace]

Thanks a lot! It wasn't flawless and I had to simplify the end a little because I just didn't have it in me.

[@josephdowling811]

Hey, i've recently formed a pumpkins tribute dont suppose you're interested? Got great musicians and nailed the guitar sound, just need JC! I know youre up north (we're London based) but looking at only occasional rehearsals and paid gigs only. Could pay travel costs for rehearsals, but looking at your skills wouldnt need many!!

[@BalloonRace]

Hello! Well, there's good news and there's bad news - The good news is that I don't live up North. You're probably confusing me with my twin brother 11111phil11111 who lives up there and used to upload a lot of Pumpkins covers. I live just outside London in Farnborough, Hampshire and can get into London in no time. The bad news is that I'm too busy to commit to a band. I work as a photographer and have jobs all over the place at this time of year. Also, I don't even own an acoustic drum kit. I just have this electric Alesis kit. I had a look at some of your uploads though and it's really good stuff. You sing the songs well and without that nasal whine the people singing Pumpkins songs usually lean on too much. Keep it up and I hope you find a drummer. Andy

[@josephdowling811]

Hey thanks man. We're not looking for some massive commitment, rehearse/gig once or twice a month max. Sure I cant tempt you? Get round the kit thing easy. We're putting together a truly epic set list, really nailing the sounds, gonna be a lot of fun!! Think about it! Suppose its too far for your bro to travel? Spooky that you are both such good drummers!

[@JohnSimpson2112]
