[Ram27]

[Cool As Ice Cream]

nobody care

[topleybird]

I wasn't considering dropping my responsibilities to fly out to this for the day, but I see now that I could catch both the Health and Wellness committee meeting and the Timpani Mock Audition final round after Jimmy's clinic.

Whoever decided pianos should be in the percussion category must be just laughing away in Hell. Can we stop pretending drums and pianos have anything to do with each other? "Oh, you see, it's because when you press a piano key it hits the string with a little ha—" No. Fuck you. Out of my face. A harp is just a sideways piano and you don't call that percussion. Yeah I hit the harp, I hit it with my fingers. Explain that one, moron.

[topleybird]

Keep this up and you're on track to be Jimmy's Monte

[Mals Marola]

he's going to sell every Jimmy-related thing he has & present himself as a piece of wood?

[Ram27]

Awaiting Mr Chamberlin

A post shared by Ram Dent (@ramdent2) on Nov 14, 2019 at 9:56am PST

well that was fuckin cool. He played 3 JCC songs, Geek, Tonight, then a new song he wrote called 'The Crucible' that he played drums/guitar/piano on. One of his solo tracks sounds a lot like Pale Scales and I deadass thought he was doing Pale Scales

-His main topic was identity on the drums. He's talked about this in other interviews and I know this because I'm crazy. Fav quote of the day: “You’ll never be me and I’ll never be you”

-He said that they haven't been playing to a click for SP stuff lately. but it's so slowww

-he has a new little...weird tiny hihat thingy between the rack toms and snare. never seen anything like it

-he said the phrase "my partner and I Billy Corgan" which I thought was...I dunno, noteworthy

-After Geek, he said 'Being a part of the narrative [of the song] allows you to play as much crazy shit as you want'

-'Corgan and I come up with funny little working titles...we still call them that in the road and everyone gets confused'

-re:hihat tempo clicking: it allows you to break up the right hand & play a quarter note pulse, be more expressive. Corgan was a big fan of it early on

-listening back to his part on Geek, he thought ‘why am i stomping on the hihat endlessly?!’ Lately he's been trying to get away from using the left foot as a crutch to keep time

[gay shit] He has a beaming smile and easy stride [/gay shit]

Early morning #Jimmy Chamberlin complex rocking. Checking out this beautiful @eastmanguitars SB57! Incredible sound and build quality. Plays great and sounds even better! Thanks to Alex for helping me through the process and making feel like family. We are brothers in prog! These guys are doing it right! #eastmanguitars

[Ram27]

Yep

It was killer. Sounded like Superchrist in moments

[amoergosum]

Were you allowed to record?

[FoolofaTook]

you fool!

do you think the rambro would sully that pristine moment by capturing it in a profane machine???

[Ram27]

lol that's actually the only track i didn't record. it felt vaguely shitty to do, in a way.

i have video of soundcheck [lol i went backstage and was about to try to talk to jimmy before they kicked me out], streetcrawler, like 30 seconds of the song i thought was pale scales, geek, tonight, and a little clip of him talking about the hihat/ride phrasing in the cherub rock verses

[russticles]

Thanks for the report! Shame on you for not capturing the Crucible though, you lose marks for that

[amoergosum]

Oh yeah!

What's that next to Jimmy's snare drum?...looks like a splash cymbal but thicker. Maybe some sort of bell?

[russticles]

I think it's a small stack of splash cymbals

[Ram27]

yeah it's a little stack. sounds like a deep hihat; he used it on one of the JCC trax

[Ram27]

more from soundcheck
