What have you learned from playing with Billy, Mike, & Nicole:

It’s endless. I mean-what I’ve been exposed to as a musician on a daily basis has just been immense and– playing with Jimmy (Chamberlain) would have to be part of that because he’s just really up there in terms of drummers. You have the classic rock guys, Bonham, Keith Moon and those guys– and I think he’s of the next generation; he’s one that is in that conversation, that level of good. Having to try, to just attempt to keep up with him every night? That was the first thing that forced me to improve– just having to keep up with him. Then just watching Billy and watching the way he approaches music and art, in the studio, the songwriting, the sound check-it’s just endless, things that I never ever even thought of. It’s been really great. And now with Mike and Nicole we’re in a different era and I’ve told this to other people but the four of us are so different. We’re like the four most different people you could find! But in some weird way, it totally works. So I think we learn from each other musically but we also learn from each other in terms of friendship and camaraderie, which is just as important as getting along musically. In a band, it’s great if you can get along musically but I mean, the majority of the battle is getting along in the car ride to and from the gig! (laughter).

Smashing Pumpkins’ drummer Mike Byrne starts offering drum lessons

No, someone needs to be offering him drum lessons.

Jeff seems to really admire and respect Jimmy. It's kinda cool.

Jimmy is pretty damn fantastic. He's certainly my favorite member of the original line up. Billy can make really good music without him - Adore is tied for my favorite Pumpkins album. But Jimmy is just a god on the drums. While we can all get down with The Experience, I listened to that shite Skysaw album far too many times just to suck up the greatness.

I love those busy hands.

Giggity.
