Chamberlin Joins John Bonham Drum Jam

According to a couple of post's over on Vic's Drum shop facebook page, Jimmy Chamberlin took to the stage last night with a Chicago based Led Zep tribute band for a drum battle...

Imagine seeing the real Bonham and Chamberlin duel - that would have been something huh...

In case you haven't heard if before, go here for Chamberlin (& Corgan) taking on Led Zep's Moby Dick, a couple of years ago.




 

More Details on Chamberlin's Jazz Record

According to the Chicago Tribune, the record (which should be released sometime this year) promises to be "a high-powered, high-energy affair."   

"It's definitely a jazz album," 

says Frank Catalano of his partnership with Chamberlain and [Percy] Jones. "Yeah, Percy has played on Brian Eno records, and Chamberlin with the Smashing Pumpkins, obviously, but they're such good players in a jazz setting too. "I knew it would be a powerful trio, but it has ballads also."

The record was recorded around Thanksgiving, and they're about to start the mixing process...

As always - more details, when I hear them.

Jimmy Chamberlin Snare's Archived...

So, remember when Jimmy Chamberlin sold off a bunch of his snares a couple of years ago (2005)? Well, I happened to stumble-upon where some of them ended up;  right here, at the The Audities Foundation - a charitable organisation concerned with "the preservation of electronic musical instruments, sound recording equipment and associated documentation for use in museums, recording studios, modern instrument research and new music / dance / film works."

I may go through the list and match some of the snares, as I await my download of MCIS ...
