Jimmy C drum clinic 10/22/16
I got to see this; it was unreal.
Personally speaking, I’ve never been to any sort of SP related thing before. And this, barring a reunion, was the most ideal experience possible in 2016. It was fucking mindblowing watching Jimmy play 5 feet from me. I got to meet him after the thing, said ‘thanks for making me a better drummer’ and shit, and he shook my hand. He’s such a good guy; all these people, including me, came up to him after the clinic while he was trying to put his stuff away, and he seemed genuinely interested in everyone that wanted to talk to him One thing I noticed that doesn’t really translate to youtube is how fucking hard he hits the drums; especially the toms - he manages to get a certain crack out of them you can’t really get otherwise. Listening back to Siamese Dream on the way home, it all sort of fell into place how and why his drums sound the way that they do. He played along to some JC complex stuff, Geek USA, Tonight Tonight ["it still feels really cool to play that part"], and Cash Car Star. Was not expecting the last one. All the tracks were cued up in iTunes on his laptop. I wonder if he was playing to the digital master of Cash Car….or did he pop onto archive.org before the show and download it

It's shit like what Ram27 just posted that makes a band interesting. When a band is a one man show who writes everything, sings everything and generally takes credit for everything is when a 'band' gets boring and one dimensional.

Jimmy seems like a class act. Weird that Leno got pissed about playing "Cash Car Star." Clearly, he knew it would happen before filming since he holds up a copy of Machina II, so it was not a complete surprise. That performance happened so close to the end of the band that they must have just said fuck it, and played a song that could not be purchased commercially. I suppose Leno got over it, as he had Billy come back in 2010.

I guess either Jimmy was misremembering, or the incident happened in soundcheck and they rewrote Leno's lines, or no one bothered to research the different tracklistings and thought SIYL was on Machina II Well, a closer paraphrase of what Jimmy said was "this was 2000, so Machina era, we were supposed to play one of our big singles, Stand Inside Your Love, I think" Maybe they were supposed to do Try Try Try, which a single and was basically on both records |

I was actually at that taping of Leno, sitting front row in one of the swivel chairs that are reserved for the people Jay shakes hands with when he comes out at the beginning of the show. Crazy story about how all of that happened that day... maybe for another time.
Anyway, I don't recall Leno being pissed at all. They briefly soundchecked playing indescernible jam stuff, then headed to the green room. During commercial breaks, the crowd would chant, "Pumpkins! Pumpkins!" which fired up Jay and got him smiling. After Adam Sandler's segment, Adam yelled to the crowd, "Who's ready for the Pumpkins?!" and held up rock hands. After Jay introduced the Pumpkins, they launched into Cash Car Star, BUT, the one shown on TV was actually a mashup of two different takes. Because after the 1st take, the producers asked Billy to do a redo. So they did. They used a lot of closeup shots and whatnot of James playing the solo, etc, from the second take. During the second take, Jay was all smiles and bobbing his head to the music. When they were done playing, Billy addressed the crowd, saying thanks, and "See you in Chicago!" |

OH MY GOD SO JELLYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Especially as you got to see him perform Cash Car Star in clinic, WOW! Fuck me that is awesome! Can you tell me what his setup was like? Did he have the 3 toms up front? Hard to tell from video angle. Looks like he only has one crash setup too. |

Better pics of his setup: http://i.imgur.com/vGO6E4l.jpg http://i.imgur.com/bx0sFtW.jpg I kinda miss his old 90s setup with the 4 crashes and 2 chinas. I kinda have my kit like that and it's super fun to play. But I guess he's older and more refined and he knows what he's doing Last edited by Ram27 : 10-24-2016 at 10:32 AM. |

I got to go to one of these things back in the post-Zwan days. They are really cool and I was a drummer at the time, so I got a lot out of it besides him being my idol.
I was also 20 and asked him to come to my 21st birthday party - and he said yes. A minute later his manager or whatever was waving his hands like crazy saying "No" and backed out of it. Still cool though. He so down to Earth and seems like a genuinely sweet guy. |

referring to what they were doing as comedy instead of music around the same time he was referring to himself as a "bald guy in a dress with a whiny voice" or whatev |
