[1] Catania had been in an earlier band called Koodot And Boojang with Glenn Danzig.
He opened his own music and DVD store called Mr. Jim's House of Video in Belleville, New Jersey in December 2008.
As for his playing style, he is known for his frantic 4/4 rock beats, ghoulish cymbals and extremely fast footwork on the bass drum and 16th-note precision on the hi-hat.
As of August 2010, Mr. Jim was playing in the Exstatics with Paul of the Living Dead, formerly of the Undead and the Bad Whoremoans.
Jim most recently recorded drums for the single "Red Ice" with Robby Bloodshed for the full length Running Out Of Time.
