Fall has worked on a range of musical projects with a variety of rock music veterans. He played lap steel guitar on Roger Alan Wade's All Likkered Up (2005) record. He has also released two CDs of music with his self-titled dark rock/punk band Loomis. On his record Cigarette (1997)/(2006), he played all guitars, drums, vocals, and lap steel. His second record, Black Black (2009), also features Greg Hetson on guitars (Circle Jerks and Bad Religion), Tommy Stinson on bass (The Replacements and Guns N' Roses), and Josh Freese on drums (Vandals, Devo, and Nine Inch Nails).

Fall has played drums with fellow Jackass and Wildboyz castmate Chris Pontius in Pontius' band Scream for Me. The band did an extended tour in Ireland. Fall appeared on The Podge and Rodge Show on RTÉ (Ireland National Television) in 2007. He also played with the band at their appearance on the Jackassworld.com: 24 Hour Takeover on MTV in 2008.

Fall appeared as a cartoon character on MTV2's animated comedy Where My Dogs At? (featuring characters voiced by Jeffrey Ross and Tracy Morgan) in an episode titled "Woofie Loves Snoop" (2006).

Fall contributed background music to the Wildboyz TV series (2003–2006) on MTV, and wrote and played background music for the film Ultimate Predator (2006). He has also contributed music as a writer on a variety of TV and film projects, including the films, Bio-Dome, and Mallrats, for which he penned the title song.

Fall performed with Manny Puig's live "Snakes in the Club" show—featuring a collection of live snakes—which toured Florida in 2008.

Fall is a registered baseball umpire and officiated the 2007 Little League Baseball final in Williamsport.

Fall made guest appearances, along with fellow Jackass stars Bam Margera and Ryan Dunn, in the Gumball 3000, which took them to Korea and China (2008). He returned again for the Gumball 3000 U.S. Rally Coast to Coast TV series (2009).

Fall appeared as a cartoon character in a special edition Marvel comic book issue "The Saturday Morning Comic" released in 1996. The issue featured the Ramones, the Violent Femmes and Wax.

Fall appeared in five music videos while a member of Wax, four of which were directed by Spike Jonze. In addition to the "man on fire" video for "California" (1995), Jonze also directed Wax videos for "Hush" (1992) (one of Jonze's first music videos), "Who Is Next" (1995), and a video for Wax's rendition of The Ren and Stimpy Show's "Happy Happy Joy Joy" (1995) which appeared on the Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits compilation CD and video. Fall also appeared in an alternate video for the song "Who Is Next" (1994) which featured members of the band Rancid. Additionally, he was in an episode of Beavis and Butt-Head, when the two MTV animated characters watch Wax's video for "California" and it sends Beavis into a shaking and mumbling trance due to his obsession with fire. The video was banned from daytime airplay by MTV in 1995.

Before being in the band Wax (in the late 80s-early 90s), Loomis was the drummer for goth L.A. band Screams for Tina (Cleopatra Records) playing drums on some of their early recordings and live shows.

Fall played bandolin and guitar for skateboarder Mark Gonzales in what they called the Mark Gonzales 5 band on a song which was featured in a Real skateboard video (1997).

In February 2000, in a pre-Jackass stunt, Fall and Chris Pontius joined forces for Big Brother skateboard magazine and donned pink and blue pj's and used skateboard trucks as slides for dobros and lap steel guitars. The goal was a humorous durability test to see if the trucks would hold up during the mayhem.

While filming Jackass 3D, Fall suffered a compound fracture of his clavicle when he landed on it during a stunt involving a jet engine and an umbrella.

In 2013, Fall & Greg Hetson (from the Circle Jerks & Bad Religion) wrote all the songs together for their band Creatures In Habit. All vocals, live drums, steel guitar were played by Fall.
