Bring back Dave K.

After watching the full Drumeo interview I'd say I'm fully on team Dave K. now. I'm guessing the band wants someone who can go whatever distance is left and his style of drumming and overall finesse will be a huge asset to that end—gotta save those wrists. He'll be obviously be great on all of the early stuff as we saw when he filled in during the '22 shows and will also handle the Jack era songs with aplomb. The hard hitting Dave A. and Matt tunes (especially Matt's more eccentric/off-kilter stuff) might be an issue but I'm sure he can work through that. It's an impossible request to find a single drummer that can perfectly match all these different drum techniques—we'll get used to how different some songs sound like we did when Matt came in. He comes off as a super chill and thoughtful guy as well and that's probably as important as anything for the band at this point. There's also something that's poetic and even sweet about the original PJ drummer coming back to close things out.

In a IG-comment Dave K already said it will not be him and that they had already picked a new drummer. It would have been interesting, but I do think he would really struggle most of the Dave A or Matt stuff. He's a pocket player, a soft hitter. Can you imagine Dave K playing Go?darthvedder81 wrote: Thu August 13, 2026 4:03 am After watching the full Drumeo interview I'd say I'm fully on team Dave K. now.

He would have been perfect if PJ is ready to retire all those harder tracks and just become the slow or midtempo band they are just great at.

My guess is most of the songs written by Matt are retired. I don’t see them playing stuff like Evacuation, Johnny Guitar or In the Moonlight again. Maybe they throw us a Fixer a few more times.
If they had any decency, Go and Angel would’ve been retired the day they fired Dave A.
I know Krusen said he’s not the one but it really doesn’t make sense to do a reveal at Ohana unless it’s him.

He can handle everything. That's why he's the frontrunner if you would ask me and others...
But we will know in a couple of weeks!

Chamberlain is the best possible outcome, but I have zero expectations.
I'm just not really a fan of Krusen's drumming.

I don't picture Chamberlain wanting the gig
he dumped PJ once before
PJ wouldn't come crawling back
plus now it's Eddie and the Pearl Jams
the only acceptable drummer is someone in Ed's close orbit
e.g. yoga instructor, power crystal wholesaler, personal chef, travel agent
someone who knows their role, takes instruction, and votes Ed's way on any matters related to band anything
and someone who acknowledges there is only one true Epidermis Bullosa non-profit on this planet and all others must be vanquished as charlatans

Brendan Canty would be a killer choice
He's friends with Eddie and he's an awesome drummer
It'll probably be somebody obvious & boring though

Here's my read: Preternaturally effortless rock drummer who lacks any of the requisite ego to overplay against the song; any band cutting a record would be lucky to have him in the studio. At the same time, he's not terribly exciting to watch play.wease wrote: Thu August 13, 2026 5:18 pmThank you!! All the boners for these boring fucking videos of him are leaving me mystified.

I haven't watched any videos anyone has posted here of Dave K. All I know is I saw him play PJ songs live and he was awesome. But I guess I'm an idiot and a nonsensical dipshit!
