Unfortunately, Benjamin Burnley decided to part ways with Hummel after he became a father (I don't know all of the details involved with his decision) he had some legal troubles with the band and management and hasn't played with them since 2004.
After numerous drummers they finally hooked up with drummer Chad Szeliga. Personally I think he's a great drummer, and was a good replacement for Jeremy. Since they split in '04, I've been wondering what Jeremy Hummel has been up to. So I looked around on the internet and found out that he's been doing online drum lessons at
http://www.jeremyhummel.com/lessons.php.
He's also performing with a rock cover band called Into the Spin out of Sunbury PA.
Hummel is also a member of the ambient/acid-jazz band Electric Volcano Experiment with guitarist Alex Callenberger and bassist Andy Seal. He also performs with various artists including Bret Alexander of Saturation Acres. Hummel and Alexander are also currently co-producing Evolution of Sound, the first EP album by Harrisburg band Drop of Grey. In 2012, Jeremy became an online drum lesson instructor for YourMusicMuse.com.
While doing all this he finds time to write for Modern Drummer magazine AND he's a father of 2 kids and loving husband.
While on tour with Breaking Benjamin, Hummel used Pearl Drums and Paiste Cymbals. Hummel has also been endorsed by Pearl Drums and Sabian cymbals. In 2012, Hummel switched drum companies and now endorses Ludwig drums.
