Cherub Rock - It's Quite Good Yeah

There must be something in the air, luring me back to the blogosphere for a quick update

Vic's drum shop posted the following info the other day;

VIC'S NAKED TRUTH:

Ever since we posted The Smashing Pumpkins' "Cherub Rock" featuring Jimmy Chamberlin as our DRUM TRACK OF THE DAY on Tuesday, we've been inundated with folks asking us about the snare drum he used.

In the past, Jimmy has been known to use a variety of different snare drums in the studio that included a Pearl Free Floating Steel, a Premier Signia Maple with matching wood hoops, and of course his old Yamaha Signature steel drum. So this past Friday following his gig at Metro, we asked Jimmy what snare he used on "Cherub Rock" and his answer was:
A Ludwig-Musser Drums and Percussion - 6.5x14 Hammered Brass (LB422BKT)

Having a similar sonic quality to the Black Beauty but with a higher pitch, Ludwig's 5x14 and 6.5x14 Brass models are hammered using the same process as Ludwig Timpani. Though each has a similar hammering pattern, no two are exactly alike and vary slightly in tonality.

Meanwhile, Rhythm Magazine are also getting in on the Chamberlove on Facebook posting a link to this gem:

Elsewhere, Chamberlin's turn on the skins in the Hot Stove All Stars helped net "The Foundation To Be Named Later" a cool $200,000.

Going back into hiding again now.  [I will fix the set-up picture links soon, I promise.] 

Jimmy Chamberlin Joins "Hot Stove Allstars"

Chamberlin will take the stage 21 June 2013 at a charity concert in Chicago.  The Hot Stove Allstars include:  Jesse Dee [moar], Local H's Scott Lucas [morez] and Will Dailey [muhore] & other special guests.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Chicago Cubs Charities and Epstein's "Foundation To Be Named Later."

Cure JM Win Pepsi Refresh Bid

Sorry for being a little late on this one, but I wasn't able to link this tweet;

Jimmy Chamberlin needs YOU: help him get funding to end Juvenile Myositis, a blood disease affecting his son. http://4wrd.it/JimmyChamberlin

from Yamaha Drums last night.  

Anyway, the good news it the charity, Cure JM Foundation, have won their bid for $250,000 from the Pepsi Refresh Project. So good work everybody who voted on behalf of the Chamberlin family and everyone else affected by the condition.

In case, you hadn't heard of this rare and debilitating auto-immune disease before, go to the Cure JM Website, take a look and perhaps show your support.
