@@seanjackson6474 yep, pretty much, not having the ability to actual listen to music and what suits and what not =D there is definitely time and place for also that busy/choppy/fillfull playing as well!
@@DrSamE oh yeah absolutely. the pumpkins records are full of that crazy drumming its awesome. But jimmy knows when to cool it and let the vocals stand out. This is what makes a good drummer in my opinion.
Shoegazer 93 I like Grohl as much as the next guy (at least when it comes to drumming). His drumming on In Utero and the Queens of the Stone Age’s Songs for the Deaf are monstrous and I LOVE drummers who really beat the shit out of the drums. However, in terms of pure ability and inventiveness Grohl doesn’t hold a candle to Jimmy. Also worth noting, people vastly underrated Matt Cameron’s drumming in Soundgarden. Power, Groove, and the dude could play odd time signatures with such ease and fluidity that you hardly noticed how weird some of those songs are.
I've always found it interesting the way Jimmy tends to keep to the ride cymbal, even during verses. This isn't a universal thing - there are plenty of Pumpkins tracks where he uses the hi-hat during verses - but it's a bit irregular. Took me a lot of time to get used to when I was learning his stuff. I still get tripped up on something like Cherub Rock occasionally where he actually does use the hi-hat.
I don't think there was a rock drummer in the 90's who used his left foot as much as Jimmy. He seems to favour the left foot to keep time while his right uses the ride for colour. It's particularly noticeable during the first part of the verse of Cherub Rock, right before the vocals kick in. This was during a time when it was fashionable to mash the hi-hat furiously. The subtleties of Jimmy's drumming really elevated this band to a level they wouldn't have gotten otherwise.
This. Jimmy's use of his left foot to keep time on the hi-hat was what made his style stand out so much back in the 90s. It seemed so clean and precise compared to the chaotic sizzling bashing that most where doing on the hi-hat back then. It certainly had a big affect on my playing when I was first learning. Now I can hardly play any groove on my ride without my left foot bouncing contently in time on my hi-hat.
Chorus-6.5”X14” Pearl Steel Free Floater...Verse-6.5”X14” Slingerland Radio King from the 40s...he used different snares and cymbals on almost every track of Siamese Dream...
I really like this dudes' (Jimmy Chamberlin) style and I may have to arrange my tom sizes and placement like his...It makes sense to have the larger drum first (country drumming fills) then followed small to large toms (different pitches/voices)...Once in a 'blue moon' you may see other drummers with these drum sizes and arrangement (large then small to large).
It's like he's got a normal 4 piece rock kit on the outside, and then a smaller jazz kit squeezed in there or something, or two rock kits mashed together. he's got the 14" and the 18".. and then 10" 13" 16" and sometimes he has a little 8" squeezed in there between the floor toms.. and a shit load of cymbals of course.

This doesn’t sound like Jimmy to me. This guy skipped a beat and he doesn’t hit the floor tom like the album does. Also I hear the bass guitar bleeding into the audio... was the bass played live in the studio?
My favorite drummer of all time. Jazz chops, rock muscle. Always putting the song first. Exceptional 👌
Perfectly summed up mate. Totally agree and an absolute favourite of mine too.
What are with these modern kid drummers that try to play everything in every song. I can't understand.
@@DrSamE late to comment, but do you mean the youtube drummers that literally fill every possible gap in time with rolls and chops?

The king of rock drumming in the 90's. He was so good that you would think youre hearing 2 drum tracks on top of each other.
jimmy chamberlin is easily the best drummer from the 90s
+brian lawless Dave Grohl, Loz Colbert and Reni are right up there too

Every day before a drum session I always warm up by playing Cherub Rock. Now I don't confuse the hat parts with the ride parts anymore lol

Jimmy Chamberlin' the master of drum bangin'. Was always an underrated drummer against the other Alt rock bands during that decade, IMO.
How was he under rated? He was rated as the best drummer in the 90's by many music mags
I said he was underrated compared to other drummers of the 90's.
crapObear2323
ah I see
The "underrated" comment never fails. He was not underrated. Maybe overrated. Many latin drummers have 10 times better skills,
I can't get enough of this man's drumming. The kick tuning or effect is interesting. Wouldn't have noticed if the drums weren't isolated.
No or very minimal muffling in the bass drum. Very open sounding compared to most rock drummers.
Greatest ROCK drummer of all tine.
Jimmy is a fucking animal.
It sounds like he's using two snares, one for the verse and chorus.
Yeah, I JUST noticed that!
He is, he had a smaller, higher tuned auxiliary snare to the left near his main hi hat that he used during the verses of this track.
He is! they had some kind of piccolo or other during the verses.
Quiet?????

guitar stars at 0:04 acording to my timing
I could listen to isolated Jimmy Chamberlain drumming tracks all day. My biggest influence on drums but I'm nowhere near as good as him
the picture is hilarious.

so good!!
Dat snare switch doh
Today is the greatest...
2 snares?
pleasure playing with you.
Master Jimmy
very technical and kind and hard rock ....ect, what else do you want lol
Best drummer in the world
This UA-cam channel is the business
My friend Matt Kelly was a blend of Chamberlin, and Dave Weckl...
If you ever come across a copy of Ghandee Dancer - Man Overboard. Pick it up.
Very helpful for my own performance.
awesome maid... ;-) thanks for that, can't stop jamming...
El sonido de caja de siamese dream 🤤
fuckin brill drummer..cud listen to the drums on tonite tonite soloed...
Where did you get this? Ive been searching for the drum collection from m-audio (?) And cant find it anywhere.
how are you getting these?????
i think they hacked into the game rockband, that this song was in and pulled it out of there
BPM????
He doesn't use a click funny enough buddy. I'm sure you can google a BPM that's close but yeah..just thought i'd let you know
Peanut_Goat Is in 183 bpm but in the choirs leaves the metronome
Métronomes follows jimmy, not the other way around.

I dunno man, it sounds pretty dead similar to the recording of Today on Siamese Dream to me.
This 100% chamberlin
Hahaa, if this ain't Chamberlin and Vig on production then HOLY shit... We got some tasty all stars somewhere being all anonymous
Wow. Doesn't even give you a count-in. You know this song starts with the guitar, right?
There might've been a metronome that counted in that he could here for the whole song or just the beginning.
Chill
