==Equipment== On the Smashing Pumpkins album Zeitgeist and subsequent tour, Chamberlin used a [[Yamaha Drums|Yamaha]] Maple Custom Absolute kit with 60Β° bearing edges, rather than the standard 45Β°. His kit consisted of two [[snare drum|snares]] (5x12 and the main snare, his 5.5x14 "Signature" model β Yamaha SD-2455JC), six [[tom-tom drum|tom]]s (12x14, 8x10, 9x13, and an 8x8 above his floor toms which are 16x16 and 16x18), a 16x22 [[bass drum]]. Around 2000, as seen in "The Everlasting Gaze" video from "Machines of God" album, he switched from Sabian to Zildjian cymbals. His setup included four [[crash cymbal]]s (a 15" thin and three Zildjian A customs β 15", 18", and 19"), an 8" [[splash cymbal]], 15" New Beat [[Hi-hat (instrument)|hi-hats]], a 20" China High, a 22" K Constantinople medium [[ride cymbal|ride]], and a 22" riveted [[swish knocker]]. He occasionally used a triangle on his kit, mounted above the hi hats. Chamberlin's [[drumhead]]s are [[Remo]] coated Ambassador on snare-side, clear Emperors on tom batters with clear Ambassadors underneath, with a Powerstoke 3 on the bass drum batter and [[Vic Firth]] 5B sticks. His signature snare drum is popular with other drummers β [[Chad Smith]] has been known to use it as a second snare drum.<ref name="mdrummer"/> On April 6, 2011, Chamberlin announced<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.facebook.com/notes/skysaw/dw/178478128866561 |title=DW |publisher=Facebook.com |date=April 6, 2011 |access-date=July 16, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150904123105/https://www.facebook.com/notes/skysaw/dw/178478128866561 |archive-date=September 4, 2015 |url-status=live }}</ref> that he had switched from long-term drum manufacturer Yamaha to [[Drum Workshop]].

The Shells are a ply combination of VLT Maple and Mahogany with no reinforcement hoops. The kick drum hoops are Solid Black Lacquer. The sizes are 5x8, 7x10, 8x13, 10x14 rack toms; 14x14, 16x16 floor toms; 16x22 kick and with a matching 5.5x14 snare; and a stainless steel 6.5x14 snare.{{citation needed|date=December 2015}} In 2015, Chamberlin began endorsing Sakae drums. His set up consisted of a 22x16" bass drum, 13x9" rack tom, 8x7" rack tom, 10x8" rack tom, 14x14" floor tom and a 16x16 floor tom. His snare was a Sakae maple 14x6.{{citation needed|date=December 2015}} In 2017 Chamberlin switched from Zildjian cymbals to Istanbul Agop cymbals. In 2018, Chamberlin returned to Yamaha Drums. As stated by himself in a Modern Drummer interview about his 2022 tour drumkit, Jimmy currently uses Vic Firth Modern Jazz MJC4 Drumsticks.
