Learn how to play like Jimmy Chamberlin
In this months' issue of Rhythm Magazine in their Drum Lessons "Rock" section, you can "play like" Jimmy Chamberlin.
Perhaps Taylor Hawkins should take a look.
Anyway, there's a neat little write-up, some drum tab (Including; "a classic Chamberlin power grove - like the verse in Cherub Rock", "the closing four bars of Geek U.S.A" and "a segment from Life Begins Again" [DP - It's Loki Cat]) and a free video tutorial with Adam Bushell.
Go buy it.

Fifty Two Crows in a Field of Love
"6. Revisiting that one Jimmy Chamberlin Complex album. (No, really; it's good.)"
It's true.
They should add don't be fundamentally unhealthy to the list...
News is slow, ok.

"Here goes nothing" - Hawkins plays Chamberlin
Wanna catch Taylor Hawkins play [live] with Gannin Arnold and take on Chamberlin's part to the title track to Gannin's new album, "Not From Here"? If so, head on over to the Drum Channel right now.
Tune in from 60 minutes in to catch Taylor almost completely fluff the song by dropping his sticks... He must have known before-hand it might be a little challenging,
"Here goes nothing...I'm going to have a lot of flounders on this one..."
And he did. But, aside from that track and Chamberlin's other part to the track "Get On With It", following "Not From Here", which he does mess up (!),
"...It's called jazz, or creativity... kids I'm trying to play fusion!"he handles the rest of the tracks with aplomb.
But the whole show really is well worth a watch, really enjoyable, these guys are clearly having an awful lot of fun. And the music ain't half bad to boot. It's also got a very insightful pre-show interview led by Terry Bozzio.
