When asked about his influences in 2007, he responded:

<blockquote>Aside from the obvious – [[Keith Moon]], [[John Bonham]], [[Ian Paice]] – I would have to say [[Tony Williams (drummer)|Tony Williams]], [[Elvin Jones]], any of the jazz greats – [[Gene Krupa]], those people. I think, more and more, as I get older, I've developed my own rock style and I tend to pull more stuff from Elvin Jones and Tony now that I can incorporate it into a rock arena and kind of modernize it.<ref name = "youtube">{{cite web | url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44C9Eh03Mmo | title = Ask A Pumpkin: Billy & Jimmy answer! | publisher = [[YouTube]] | access-date = September 6, 2007 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071006064011/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44C9Eh03Mmo | archive-date = October 6, 2007 | url-status = live }}</ref></blockquote>

Bandmate [[Billy Corgan]] has said of Chamberlin, "he's up there with [[John Bonham|Bonham]], you know, that level of drummer, who has been able to play a variety of music and have his style impact the way people play drums. That's the hallmark of a great drummer. And, right now, I think, pound for pound, he's the best drummer in the world."<ref>Radio interview with Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin. [[Mancow]].
