Jimmy Chamberlin has been graciously invited to throw out the game starting pitch at tonight's baseball game in Phoenix, AZ where the Diamondbacks take on the Giants.

The game is set to start at 9:40 PM EST. It is unknown whether this pre-game event will be broadcast or not so keep your eyes peeled to see one of our favorite Pumpkins throwing out the first pitch!

There are two new live tracks up on the Complex myspace page. They come from a tour stop at the Rave in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The first track “Love is Real” features Sean Woolstenhulme on vocals. The punch of Billy Mohler’s bass line and Jimmy Chamberlin’s drumming makes this track a must have for fans.

The second track “Cranes of Prey” features over 15 minutes of intense jamming. Billy Mohler’s fiery bassline takes center stage on this recording. Listen as the band segues into Tony Williams Lifetime’s “Fred” with a driving force.

Enjoy these live recordings as our treat to you.

Visit www.m-audio.com/chamberlincontest and follow the instructions for the chance to win an autographed copy of ProSessions 24: Jimmy Chamberlin Signature Drums Vol. 1. This high-fidelity library allows you to manipulate the sound of the renowned Smashing Pumpkins drummer—or lay down your own elements over his classic grooves. Watch the “Making of” video to see Chamberlin in action before making these WAV and REX files your own.

“I think it’s gonna be fun for musicians to see not only why a groove is cool, but also what it was based on,” explains Chamberlin. “I think that’s what’s great about doing a pro library like this—you can really let people inside your head.”

In Jimmy Chamberlin Signature Drums Vol.1, Chamberlin combines his talents with both skins and electronics in this superbly sampled and immediately useful drum library. Each drum groove was recorded in 24-bit audio via 15 discrete channels to give you total control over the kick, snare, tom, pressure zone, bullet, overhead and room microphones. The loop format allows you to assemble any number of variations and mix them to customize your track. Each groove also includes a “ready-to-use” mixed stereo loop for quick listens and drag-and-drop functionality.
