Cash Car Star

hereisnowhy · 10-04-2004, 01:15 PM

I think the drumming on Home is underrated. It's fantastic.

Isle · 10-04-2004, 01:26 PM

fuck i can't believe i forgot tristessa. jimmy's just got it nailed when it comes to huge clunky multiple-hit beats (if that makes any sense).

1. Geek USA
2. Lucky 13
3. Hello Kitty Kat
4. Silverfuck
5. Rock On

Geek USA
Bodies
Tristessa
Mary Star of the Sea
Jellybelly

I don't think Tristessa is double bass. It's more likely just a big tom.

Zorgon · 10-04-2004, 02:58 PM

I think I remember hearing that Jimmy has never used a double bass.

He said he tried it once and described himself as "inept" I think.

I'm pretty sure the mechanic he uses involves the bass in tandem with a large floor tom on both "Tristessa" and "I Am One. Just" watch Vieuphoria and see what he does on "I Am One." Also I think Billy-Corgan.net has an old video of them playing "Tristessa" although the camera angle on the drum kit is not conducive to viewing what Jimmy does, exactly.

I was thinking the same thing. Dave Grohl does that a lot on his new album Probot. Of course, it is possible Jimmy's using just his one foot. What I remember from people talking about his clinics was he could do that pretty damn fast. He must use both techniques here and there all the time though.

La Dolly Vita and Frail and Bedazzled are also great ones.

Totally Agree, The drum intro is just great. I always wanted to hear/see that song live to marvel with jimmy performance. At least I have the Arising

CherubDaydream · 10-05-2004, 09:55 AM

geek, fuck you, I AM ONE (d'uh!!!), cash car star, jellybelly!

spidrr · 10-05-2004, 10:50 AM

friends of mine that have always thought jimmy was an "ok" drummer had their jaws to the floor when they heard Mary Star of the Sea and the insane fills he does.

TheKillerInYou · 10-05-2004, 06:05 PM

I always thought jimmy had a double pedal - stuff like Quiet on Vieuphoria and Cash car star from that final TV performance would be impossible without it. he doesn't use it the whole time like Lars ulrich or joey jordison but it is there....

anyways,

Cash Car Star
Geek USA
Jellybelly
Lucky 13
Lyric (am i allowed Zwan?)

Rockin' Cherub · 10-06-2004, 06:35 AM

fuck, everyone knows i am one is the definite pumpkins drumming song.
not really hard tho. xyu is very hard. everlasting gaze. tales of a scorched earth i think.

Slurpee · 10-06-2004, 07:58 AM

1. Tales of a Scorched Earth

This song must be first. He plays so fast and hard, its a challenge to hear the drums as a seperate instrument from the guitars.

thechick · 10-07-2004, 12:10 AM

Tales of a scorched earth
Everlasting Gaze
Tristessa
I am one

and i can't believe no one said Stand Inside Your Love- he drummed his ass off in that one.

Am I the only one that expected this to be a NSFW thread? :erm

All joking aside, for some reason (and I'm not claiming that this is his best work) I can't get the drum beat from Glass and the Ghost Children out of my head.

Laugh at me if you wish, but it's the first drum beat that has ever gripped onto me. For some strange reason.

Yeah.

which beat? the intro?

tsp gatmog · 10-07-2004, 07:57 AM

i think he's referring to the intro. thats the only notieceable...dealy in that song as far as drums go.

Yes it is possible, it's called skill.

eraserhead · 10-07-2004, 04:03 PM

Everlasting Gays!!!

AHAHAHAHAHHAHA!

you know i never thought of it that way until my younger homophobic brother brought it up and cracked me up! hilarious!

transluscent · 10-07-2004, 04:35 PM

this is the most hysterically funny thread ever.

ProgressChrome · 10-08-2004, 08:38 AM

The roll he does on Tristessa is the foundation for all his drumming goodness to come.

Off the top of my head, other great Jimmy drum songs would have to be:
I am One
Geek
Jellybelly

I am at work and need my pumpkins cd/mp3 collection to really say what his best stuff is... generally it is all better live than on album.

correct!

alt. title...
but it has a deeper meaning, since Billy said in the machina interview that when the song started (dubbed Disco King) billy wanted to mock people on the dancefloor, and he likedJimmy's "disco beat" a lot...
BC: "he can kinda play the disco beat..."
so i like that!! billy pretty much wrote the song for Jimmy!
