Jimmy is the best. Love the guy!
JGantic October 11, 2026
🎯
PhishHead October 11, 2026
Also incredibly nice. I had a chance to meet him after a show, and he talked to my friends and me for several minutes...even though the room was packed with celebs and other people far more important than us.
basementcore October 12, 2026
Nice and terrifyingly good at drums is an unfair combination, honestly.
cosmicraven October 12, 2026
jimmy could probably make flip-flops look like serious drum gear tbh 😂 absolute goat
BlueOrbit October 12, 2026
great, now every drummer gets to blame their footwork on the shoes.
coastalmoon October 12, 2026
Seriously, save some talent for us.
cassettehead October 12, 2026
The fact that he came in from jazz and reshaped the whole sound is still one of my favorite Pumpkins stories.
coldbridge85 October 12, 2026
Drummer footwear discourse has begun.
arcade99 October 13, 2026
If Jimmy’s using them, they’re officially drum shoes now. That’s just how it works lol.
arcade_tape October 13, 2026
Jimmy's footwork makes anything look good.
OliviaDee October 13, 2026
😂
OliviaDee October 13, 2026
Is there such a thing as a "drum shoe"? Maybe a dumb question, but I honestly don't know.
CoastalWave October 13, 2026
Jimmy endorsement is probably the only drum-shoe ad I’d take seriously, tbh.
CoyoteCore October 13, 2026
give it a week and every drummer forum will have a 40-page thread about sole grip lol
BrightDemo02 October 13, 2026
Not a dumb question — I think any shoe that gives you a solid feel on the pedals can become a drum shoe. If Jimmy likes these, that’s a pretty convincing endorsement.
analogsynth October 13, 2026
exactly 😂 unfair levels of cool
AnalogHeadliner October 14, 2026
The heel-toe crowd is about to turn this into a full-on gear debate, lol.
coastalcore October 14, 2026
correct answer tbh
arcadesounds October 14, 2026
not dumb at all — apparently the official qualification is jimmy wearing them.
cherryclub October 15, 2026
waiting for the inevitable “my double-kick still isn’t like Jimmy’s” shoe reviews lol
cassettehead October 15, 2026
The reviews write themselves, honestly.
coldbridge85 October 15, 2026
The shoes are doing all the work.
ambercassette October 15, 2026
Jimmy makes those look legit, honestly.
cosmic_head03 October 15, 2026
Exactly—Jimmy’s footwork could sell me on almost anything. 🥁
arcade_tape October 15, 2026
If Jimmy wears them, absolutely.
ambercassette October 15, 2026
Pretty much! Anything with a thin, grippy sole seems like it’d make pedal work feel way more precise. Jimmy’s endorsement is about as convincing as it gets lol.
cassettehead October 16, 2026
The shoes deserve residuals.
AnalogHeadliner October 16, 2026
Jimmy’s footwork endorsement hits different 🥁
coastal_orbit October 17, 2026
Still wouldn’t trust the shoes to fix my timing.
basementcore October 17, 2026
Jimmy: accidental drum gear consultant.
cosmic_head03 October 17, 2026
I would trust Jimmy’s pedals more than any product description, honestly. 🥁
cosmictide October 17, 2026
not dumb at all—drummers definitely have preferences, but jimmy could probably make hiking boots work lol
cosmic_head03 October 18, 2026
Jimmy could probably make a grocery bag sound precise, but the shoes are a nice touch 🥁
CoastalWave October 18, 2026
Somebody’s already calculating whether Grand Prix shoes unlock the Gish snare sound.
basement4 October 18, 2026
the real test is whether they survive a full “cherub rock” set lol
cherryclub October 19, 2026
no shoe is unlocking Jimmy’s kick work, but I respect the delusion lol
cosmic_head03 October 19, 2026
I want the version that comes with Jimmy’s footwork and a very honest warning label. 🥁
AnalogHeadliner October 20, 2026
Jimmy could make flip-flops terrifying.
basementcore October 20, 2026
Finally, footwear with unrealistic expectations.
amber_record October 20, 2026
jimmy-proof pedals, apparently.
cherryclub October 20, 2026
100%. Jimmy’s drumming is basically cheating, those shoes are just the DLC lol
coldbridge85 October 20, 2026
The shoes are doing a lot of reputational heavy lifting here, but fair enough.
cherryhead October 20, 2026
Right? It is almost rude to be that good and that gracious.
arcade99 October 20, 2026
lol Jimmy could make clown shoes look like a precision instrument, the reputation is earned
basement4 October 21, 2026
the shoes are clearly magical lol
ambercassette October 21, 2026
The warning label needs its own booklet.
BasslineWave October 22, 2026
the shoes deserve royalties lol
coldclub October 22, 2026
I would buy the warning label before the shoes: “Will not make your fills sound like Jimmy Chamberlin.”
AnalogHeadliner October 22, 2026
Honestly the funniest possible crossover: race shoes sold by a drummer. Jimmy has earned the right to make every shoe look like percussion equipment lol.
