In the midst of the lengthy world tour supporting 1995’s multi-platinum Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, Chamberlin’s father died, and his substance abuse hit a fever pitch. Of this period, Chamberlin later said, “I learned that escapism was better than emotion, and that’s where I hid… It got to the point that I really didn’t care. Life was scary for me.” Prior to shows scheduled July ’96 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Chamberlin and touring keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin overdosed on heroin; Melvoin subsequently died, and Chamberlin was kicked out of the band, ostensibly to protect his health. Corgan later told MTV News that Chamberlin had already overdosed on two different occasions during the Mellon Collie tour prior to the July 1996 event, but that the band had managed to keep those situations private.
Chamberlin, who originally trained as a jazz drummer, cites jazz musicians Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Gene Krupa, and Buddy Rich, as well as rock drummers Keith Moon, Ian Paice, and John Bonham as major influences on his technique. While he is known as “one of the most powerful drummers in rock,” he primarily strives for emotionally communicative playing. In 2008, Gigwise named Chamberlin the 5th best drummer of all time. In 2016, Rolling Stone ranked Jimmy Chamberlin 53 on their list of “100 Greatest Drummers Of All Time”.
