Goodwin can play the bass guitar and the drums. He is best known as the lead singer for Doves but in songs like "Here It Comes" he is known for swapping positions with Andy Williams and taking over as drummer. Also in "There Goes the Fear" he is known for his drum solo at the end of the song.
Jimi Goodwin is left-handed.
While acting as a guest host on a BBC Radio One show in 2005, Goodwin featured his friend and up-and-coming musician Simon Aldred (Cherry Ghost), who performed a live acoustic set. Then, in 2007, Goodwin played bass and drums on Cherry Ghost's debut single "Mathematics" and their song "People Help the People". Goodwin contributed vocals to the song "Kingdoms of Rain" on the Soulsavers' second album It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land. Doves and Soulsavers have worked together previously in various forms, as Soulsavers remixed the Doves song "Satellites", which appeared on the "Pounding" single in 2002.
