Jimmy Chamberlin, the original drummer for the Smashing Pumpkins, is rejoining the band. He'll come along for their upcoming summer tour with Marilyn Manson, which kicks off in July. It's the first time he's played with the band since his 2009 exit.

“We're thrilled Jimmy's back in the saddle this summer to drive a super high-octane set, and it's nice to see the stars aligning around Smashing Pumpkins anew,” Billy Corgan said in a press release. He told USA Today, "Jimmy's drum parts are so incredibly technical and nuanced that it's a very rare class of people that can step in and play."

Chamberlin also spoke to USA Today about rejoining the band, which happened when a prior arrangement with another drummer fell through. "[Corgan] asked if there was any way I'd consider coming back for the tour," he said. "It's a great opportunity not only to celebrate the music, but to celebrate the friendship and the legacy."

Chamberlin said his commitment to the band only extends until the end of the tour, owing to his duties as CEO of LiveOne, a tech company involved with livestreaming concerts. The tour concludes in August.

The Smashing Pumpkins have been without a full-time drummer since Mike Byrne, who was enlisted to replace Chamberlin, departed the band last year. Mötley Crüe's Tommy Lee played on Monuments to an Elegy, while Rage Against the Machine's Brad Wilk played at a handful of shows. Corgan told USA Today that he expects the band's lineup to be interchangeable for the foreseeable future.
