You joke, but that drumset looks like it belongs to that band and so Jimmy has to adapt to the fewer instruments than he would play on his own drumset.

If you were one of those kids, you would cherish and remember this for the rest of your life, getting to play with Jimmy.

This is actually fantastic. I love how jimmy doesn't dumb down his playing for them.

I agree it’s fantastic. But Jimmy dumbing down the drums wouldn’t make it easier for the kids. Playing it exactly like the album would make it easier for them. Or am I misunderstanding what you mean?

Jimmy is officially the coolest person alive. Awesome that he did this.

Danny Carey from Tool is no slouch either. I loved how both these incredibly talented drummers took time out to jam with younger musicians!

What a inspiration, kids nailed it!! And Jimmy still makes it sound like he hasn't played that a million times, he is such a one of a kind, always practicing to be the Best he can be and it shows in so many ways!! This made my day!!

Oh my god, playing along with Jimmy would have been my #1 dream in life when I was a teenager. It's crazy that even though this is probably one of his simpler drum parts for a SP song, it's still far beyond 95% of the rest of rock drumming out there.

You kids have noooooo idea how lucky you are to have Jimmy in the same room with you guys. Terrific job!

You’ve got to live Jimmy Chamberlin guesting at the SoR!

Absolute goosebumps watching this! I was lucky enough to meet JC, my biggest drum hero, a couple years back at the UK London Drum Show just before he released his second Jimmy Chamberlin Complex album...they say you should never meet your heroes; man, am i glad i got to meet him! He had all the time in the world for us and was totally down to earth and real... a real cool dude! :) The kids done great here, the young lady who played the solo section towards the end of the song really impressed me, but you were all fantastic! This is what music should be - giving back to the next generation and inspiring them to enjoy one of the greatest feelings in life; the love of playing live music with friends, and the joy of honing your skill on an instrument! Well done one and all, and JC, you just get cooler as time goes by man!

The grin on the face of the guitarist on the left is great.

I am so proud of those kids for getting in there and committing themselves to music. That song is not necessarily an easy one to play, but they rolled up their sleeves and learned it, then played it at the pace that Jimmy set for it . Awesome job guys, happy to see it.

The kid playing bass is fucken amazing!

Lol. I was wondering before I hit play if JC would just blow the sound out and to be fair, even though he looked like he was gonna keep a lid on it, he kinda didn't (my opinion). Anyway it's not as bad as my other fav drummer Stewart Copeland at his 50th. He invited a cover band and then proceeded to blast them so hard I think it making it hard for them to play. I can't post a link but the video is called Stewart Copeland's Birthday Jam! Pt. 1. (Driven to Tears) . It is awesome drumming but jeeeezuz.

And just imagine...Eddie Vedder hated Dave Abbruzzese for using so many cymbals, which is the best drummer Pearl Jam ever had.

I am so envious of the KZread generation! I had to wait for Chamberlain to play on TV or find VHS bootlegs! Now everything is so accessible. Anyway I'm glad Jimmy has cleaned up and kicking ass! This performance is awesome. The kids are so happy!

Man, you kids are so lucky to jam Cherub with Jimmy. How cool is that and what a great dude 👍

Small kit and still sounds like gold.. Jimmy is 🔥🔥🔥

I love this! Jimmy is the greatest drummer EVER!!!

Having Jimmy behind the kit must be like having a jet engine behind you car

The kid singing looks like a young Billy Corgan. For what I could hear, he sounded pretty good. I did not expect the girl to play the solo. She did a fantastic job.

Absolutely epic. These kids are great and Jimmy plays like this is the take that was going to get used in the studio.

I don't think we have enough guitars in the mix! Lol. Although I heard they dubbed up to 50 guitar tracks in Siamese Dream for that wall of sound effect.

This is awesome man. Jimmy is on a different level to most rock drummers. That kid on the left is like "holy shit!"

JIMMMMMYY !!!!! YOUR THE BEST, DUDE !!!! The kids did a freakin great job!

She is a total axe queen. Brilliant.

Wish I could have heard more of the kids. Sounded like they were pretty good, but all I could really hear well was Jimmy and we all know he's going to kill it.

love this....one of my favorite drummers and obviously a down to earth guy!

Jimmy to this day is still one of my favorite drummers!

What a treat for the kids. Once in a lifetime.

You just don't get any cooler than Jimmy Chamberlin as a rock drummer, and with him doing this for this group of kids, it just left the atmosphere. So awesome

The best sound i´ve ever heard, Chamberlin!

I have watched this 20 times !!!! I can’t get enough

Jimmy sets the bar high for these aspiring musicians! Love Jimmy's playing, freaking amazing. Huge fan.

The bass player was KILLING IT! Love it!

This is so cool. Imagine beeing one of those kids. My hat's off to good guy Jimmy.

I can't believe how lucky they were! What a drummer! Best I've ever seen live by miles

Jimmy your a legend for doing this, you’re a great human being. What a great performance from them all, love the smiles on the faces. Great stuff lead singer love the passion, lead guitarist you nailed the solo, bass player got the groove and love the thumbs up at the end and guy to right of lead guitarist awesome stuff! 👍👊 you’ve all got big futures as musicians 👏♥️

That was amazing! obviously jimmy was awesome but so were those kids on the guitars, the girl nailed the solo too..! loved it!

Jimmy is the man !

Jimmy's the man. How cool of him to stop by and perform with the kids.

That was so cool! She really nailed the solo too! I can't imagine how awesome it would feel to have an opportunity to play with JC killing the drums behind you. They'll remember this forever.

This give me chills, it's so tender to see the Master with the kids.

Absolutely fantastic! Jimmy was such a gentleman to agree to do this and you can tell he was impressed!

I absolutely ❤ this video!! Jimmy Chamberlain’s intricate little fills and awesome snare rolls drive the Smashing Pumpkins songs and always leave me playing air drums when listening to em. What an awesome, talented, underrated drummer!

So cool of Jimmy to do that, the kids looked really stoked, he's a great drummer and a great guy, big up to him!!!🤗

it's just so awesome that a rock god like jimmy chamberlin is willing to take time to spend with some kids and jam... he is even more of a rock god for doing this!

Criminally underrated drummer.

like how cool is it, " hey i play a band and the drummer was jimmy chamberlin

This is the absolute best. Jimmy is a class act through and through. Not to mention, one of the best drummers ever to sit behind the kit. He can wow anyone at any time with the best of them, but has always preferred to play with emotion and heart instead. Love this guy.
