the hi-hat accents on "1979" seem like they'd be tricky to pull off!

oh i guess it's the drum machine that does those:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuOFL_XU7jc

^^
and even then, hard to pull off with the same feel (drum-machine assist in the original I guess)
according to leading randos, Chamberlain didn't bother trying to do the hi-hat accents live, either

Nah JC is playing along with the drum machine on 1979, I can't listen to confirm but iirc the hi hat accent only comes in after the first stanza?
Here is No Why is so much fun to play, Brad

these are things i already implicitly knew but there's an extra reality to it when i'm trying to make my idiot arms and legs do anything he does, especially at that speed
i can play "rhinoceros" too, primarily because it's slow. it's also a blast xp

SP has like 10000000 great drum parts
hearing what JC can do with just a lil trap kit in the first sets of the pajama shows is so valuable. I think they played To Forgive in that set? or no, they alternated.

i'm honestly proud of myself for even being able to suss out how he's playing what he's playing without drum cover videos, when i first started drumming jimmy's playing made absolutely no sense to me

one of several SP songs I can't even passably air drum

those snare rolls during the second and third choruses of Here is No Why >>>>
great use of the Ab octave pumpkin chord in that part!

that song kicks so much ass

I haven't drummed in forever but I would love to attempt drumming 'Muzzle'. At least that first bit. I assume the logistics are a little something like

The drums on "Jellybelly" are maniacal.

Years ago I had friends that put together a Pumpkins cover band for a benefit and I hung out at a bunch of their practices. Even just watching someone else try to learn Jimmy's parts brought me a whole new appreciation.

did they try Jellybelly? lol
yeah even the "simple" parts are deceptively complex (like To Forgive, or even the straightforward electric version of Disarm where he comes in on the second verse)
