Initially replacing co-founder James Iha, Schroeder made his live debut with the Smashing Pumpkins on May 22, 2007, in Paris, France, as the band embarked on an extensive comeback tour in support of the album Zeitgeist. After the tour's completion, Schroeder became a core member of the band and was described by Corgan as a key collaborator on the subsequent albums Oceania (2012) and Monuments to an Elegy (2014). Following Iha's return in 2018, Schroeder remained in the band, ushering in a three-guitar lineup, before his amicable departure in October 2023.
