Billy may have been the heart, brain, lungs, nerve center... and everything else. But Jimmy was the spine. You aren't going anywhere without a spine.
Corgan knows that, he never overdubbed or changed the drum tracks, the fills all along the smahings P's carreer
🤡😕😵💫💚👻
Jimmy is tough! Accents everywhere and a left leg that never stops. Great job! Not a lot of people try to cover Jimmy Chamberlin because once they get into it...ugh. You somehow find all of the little attention-to-details. Things you play that I never noticed were in the original until I listen to it again. You are indeed an apex drummer.
indeed he is
Jimmy Chamberlain is a junkie two-bit drummer who was hired to replace a drum machine. Did heroin while the person he was shooting up with died. Get your facts straight.
Ray McCarthy ok, sounds good
Shut up
@@raymccarthy6002 , there's an idiot in every crowd, and you've just placed that spotlight squarely on you.
This is my all time favourite drum piece, by anybody
So many subtle licks, and creative fills.
Subtle on the tempo, a dymanic mix between soft/loud.
Tehnically brilliant, yet as only Jimmy can - he makes the dam thing look easy.
I come back to this song often. It blows my mind. And I hear something new every time I listen
❤
❤
Probably the best thing about what you do Delta is seeing a song from a different perspective after all these years. No telling how many times I listened to this over the years, but watching you do the drum track adds a different experience. Thanks for refreshing the classics
Matt Morin it’s true. You hear so much in these 20 plus year old songs getting the delta treatment.
Jimmy is one of the most tasteful and talented drummers I can think of. Always compliments the song first and foremost and his grooves are next level. Top cover.
Great job, Delta! Could tell you really liked this one. Channeled your inner Jimmy for that one. 👍
3:38 When you're so into the groove that your whole body is grooving to the groove. Been there! It feels amazing! Delta...you're AMAZING! 🤘🤘🤘
Bro....every day when i get home from work i sit on my porch with a beer and my tablet and watch you play drums. I cant even describe to you how much this helps me unwind. Thanks homie.
Same here bro
Thx delta
Geek is just a drum solo with a little bit of guitar and vocals which is a good thing!
This snare sounds unreal
Underrated drummer and underrated song. Great job as always Delta! You have excellent taste.
Underrated name and underrated comment. 😂😂😂 jk.
Same reply with other videos. Friend?
Incredible song but “underrated drummer”? Are you sure? Jimmy’s pretty highly rated among anyone who knows anything about drums
@@bloodbrothermusicVery true, but amongst the general public, it’s usually all about Grohl, Barker etc.
I've figured it out, you're the souls of all the dead greats and the spirit of the living legends, they gather inside the outfit, record a song and when its over they depart leaving a pile of empty cloths and a mask on the floor. It's the only logical conclusion :)
This is the first song I saw you play. 1. You hit really hard... 2. You played a song that is incredibly challenging...3. You earned a new fan...best of luck brother keep doing what you love.
Man, I forgot what a tough song this is to play. You absolutely crushed it. Jimmy goes OFF on this track but you nailed every nuance.
This is literally one of my faves from the 90s that whole album to me has a very edgy hendrixy feel. Thanks man. Great work once again.
I have watched quite a few of your videos and I can tell that you enjoyed this one more than most. Understandably so, Jimmy is one of the most fun to play along with. Also, your tone is like buttuh!
You can really see how much fun he's having by the look on his face!
Why wouldn't he enjoy this one. No one covers Chamberlin worth a crap. Delta is all of the drummers he's covering and then some.
one of my favorite pumpkins songs. awesome.
Been waiting for a highly skilled drummer to cover this song! Jimmy Chamberlin is highly underrated and this song is the best showcase of both his and your talent by far!
there have been plenty.
Come on, he's not underrated. That word gets thrown around willy-nilly these days. Jimmy is well known, at least by musicians, to be one of the greats.
jimmy is never underrated. the term underrated makes no sense. if you know jimmy, you know he's a god on drums. if you don't know jimmy, there's nothing to rate. thats it.
@@hankb7725 yup. The word underrated is the most overused word in the comments.
THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. You embodied Jimmy’s storytelling and character so well. It makes me respect @jimmychamberlin more. Wow.
Good god, what happens from 3:20 is just 110% of energy 🤘 🤘
Perfect sound and so presision..
Holy Shit Mr. Empire...that's a lot of notes!! Just amazing!
flat out
You got that rare gift of making something hard look easy!
DAMN this guy is a monster to follow that complex rhyhtyms with so much power and accuracy
Dude, you have heard this many time but you my friend are the real deal.
Wow. I gotta give another listen to Smashing Pumpkins. Never my fave but I love this cover. Amazing as always, Delta!
If you enjoy technical drum work like this, there is a ton of it from Jimmy Chamberlin, especially in the first 2 Pumpkins albums
Gish and Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie - best albums
Their first 3 albums were no joke, Jimmy's drumming on those albums are about as good as any other 90's rock band and Billy was on a golden streak of songwriting. Adore is an incredible album too, obviously much softer and minimalistic but offers a different sound.
Playing Jimmy's parts is no simple task, nicely done 🤘
🤘
you made it look easy! JC is no joke, one of the best. I could watch you cover the Pumpkins eight days a week.
In the words of Wayne and Garth, "We're not worthy"!!! Covering Chamberlin is not easy at all!! Fucking amazing!! 🤘🤘
I’ve been working on a nightmare alternator for 2 and a 1/2 days. Now that I’m done and need to get my head right.. gimme some Delta Empire baby. Thanks homie.
Been waiting for this one for awhile :) Jimmy is a beast !!!
Tristessa is another good one :)
i love this song..listened to siamese dream all through high school
I wish you would do this whole album! great vid and performance! gonna have to loop this for a bit
What a solid drummer.
Kills everything he does
Another kick my ass video from a living legend. If I didn’t work I’d be watching the king play all day. Lol
Keep it coming brother 👍🏻👌🏻🙏🏻
Excellent!
WTF you killed it. The 2 breakdowns. The timing oh my god. Jimmy is so hard to play and not only did you NAIL it you but the smack down on it! Mad respecr
You were born to do this buddy🙌🏽
Bravo Delta. I cant thank you enough for sharing your content, your efforts. In a world littered with ego and negativity, you just inspire and lead. 😊
Awesome.
I need to find my blacklight n play this again!! Love it!!!!
Thank You for all. You are great drummer. Greetings from Poland.
Fantastic. Such swing in this song.
The Pumpkins finest song captured by an amazing talent. My favorite song by the group and you just flexed all over it. Well done!!
AWESOME!
Can’t get any better drum cover of this song than this! 🙇♂️
If I could give this 100 likes I would. This is one of my favourite Pumpkins songs and you nailed it. An absolutely incredible performance.
Thank you!!!!!
This is amazing. You hit all the notes exactly where they should be, which is way better than I can do.
You are a sick rock drummer. Very heavy and consistent. Why Jimmy is my favourite, over a guy more universally celebrated like Neil Peart, is the nuance in each hit.
You take a Peart track and analyze the hihat, each hit will have very similar velocity and sound as though it's quantized cause he's that solid. You are like that, and that's a huge compliment.
Where Neil is like Glen Gould playing Bach, Jimmy is like Debussy. Tempo and intensity bend to his will to express emotion. Clair de Lune wouldn't work on a harpsicord with fixed velocity.
You could play as you do and be amazingly great, maybe even one day more celebrated than Jimmy, like Bonham, Moon, Peart, Grohl, Barker(?), and Rich.
But if you desire to be more musical (conveying a broader range of emotion with your playing) adopt some of Jimmy's freedom from a compressed, quanitzed style of drumming.
Another great example of what I'm talking about is Buddy Rich versus Charly Antolini. Rich hits the hats with technical precision (and is the most famous jazz drummer in history). But Charly injects nuance, and his drumming has a greater emotional dynamic range (imho). I listen to Charly often. I'm kinda bored of Buddy, tbh.
At the end of the day you are great and don't need my advice. But it's here if you want it.
Those toms and the snare sound fuckin great.
Snare sounds fantastic
Always find myself coming back to this vid
Amazing job! JImmy's a legend!
Bravo! Jimmy is the best and you did an excellent job honoring that talent with an kick ass cover tribute
One hard song to cover man! I been doing it 20+ years and still cant get it like Jims, however youbdid a great job! I just got a brand new Mapex Tornado kit, and im tuning tjem to this song , its my most fav drum riff ever! O ce again great friggen job bro, you nailed it
This is absolutely perfect. It’s so spot on and sounds so good that I don’t even listen to the album version anymore when I want to listen to this song. Astounding!!
Excellent song. Excellent band.
Always kill it, your becoming one of my favorite drummers out there....
U made my day. Favorite pumpkins song ever. Such an energetic song, it never fails to get my blood flowin and that's saying something cuz I just got out the hospital. Jimmy would be proud my man!
This made me happy as hell!
yeah! i love the smashing pumpkins
Love how you manage to have Jimmy's energy and dynamics and left leg and still add some layer of precision to it. Superb!
Smashing!!!
How complicated is this song. What a beast
DEFINITELY, THE BEST !!!! AWESOME!!!!!
You've got this quick-snap Precision that I really enjoy watching. All your videos are super entertaining bro. Excellent music selection too.
Fuckin nice job Delta!! You killed the stop towards the end.. everything was right on. Kick ass drumming
Jaw dropping amazingly done!
Chamberlin is one of my biggest influences. You did a great job with both the cover and settle nuances within the song. I had a lot of fun watching this video!
Groovy👍👍👍
Your drums are the best! Especially this “geek”
u.s.a” is the best!
Killer cover.
Awesome cover Delta, love this song and you did an amazing job. Jimmy would be proud!
You my man are a fucking don. So accurate and no abbreviation. Nuff respect
the unrestless left foot is insane!
I'm calling it.. That was Jimmy himself behind the mask :)
I like how you play this á la Jimmy circa 92-93, instead of how he plays it now. Killer job
Back again to just appreciate your performance here. Doesn't get more solid. I love this album in particular
The level of badass-ery here is off the charts. Well done!
My bad,awesome performance on Smashing Pumpkins too!!! Cool tune
Jimmy is the most underrated drummer of all time, PERIOD and this song is one of the best rocking beats as fuK
Jimmy plays the drums like a guitar...
top notch brother
It's a classic with really complex lines to play on drums and...here it is! You did it again, bro!! Awesome!! 🤘👏👏👏
Top notch dude got the feel and everything , well done sir, jimmy is though
Great job! There are some great Smashing Pumpkin jams to drum to. I grew up on this stuff, and the strong sense of pulse and rythm it imbued in me was very beneficial for my playing music today. I wish I could play along to stuff like this, but that's a ways off for me for now. Ya killed it!
Dude......you're good!
I have a 19yo son that does this but wears gold. 😂. Love Smashing Pumpkins. Great job!
i don't like videos often , but this is a like.
Aww takes me back 🤘. What a song and what a drummer Jimmy is and you are for nailing it 👍
Awesome job! Jimmy Chamberlin is way underrated ... you did a beautiful job here ... 😎👍🏼
Well done dude, excellent feel for Jimmy
So mental and so brilliant
One of my top favorite albums. Nice work bro
Perfect 👌

DUUUUUDE PUMPKINS ❤️
Nice Dude...busy song & you nailed it! Great way to start my morning...
Jimmy is one of the most kinetic drummers around, and you recreated that energy perfectly here!
What an energetic cover!
