Chamberlain is the best possible outcome, but I have zero expectations.
I'm just not really a fan of Krusen's drumming.
Thank you!! All the boners for these boring fucking videos of him are leaving me mystified. Finally someone with some sense.
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.
but if you were suddenly surrounded by a group of thugs, you would want him behind the kit as Porch starts playing and you defeat them one-by-one
No that would be soundtracked by NZ '95, so Dave A.
wasn't jack irons the drummer for that tour
Yes but now I don't know where my memory failed me: That Jack drummed for that tour, or that the "NW" pre-Porch spiel was from '94?
Pearl Jam sucks now.
the NW porch spiel was from the melbourne show with jack
so
maybe you are just a jack irons fanboi and attributed it to dave a
and understandable mistake as
dave a rocked da haus
before the pj profit shadow disappeared him

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!

but he sounded great, for the most part. Alive had a little bit of some jonky stuff. but he crushed it for someone who hasn't played this stuff in years. brother was impressive.
Unless, CONSPIRACY THEORY, he HAS played it, because he's the new drummer.
I gotta say it's a delight watching Krusen in that video. He really is so chill, so Seattle lol. I'd definitely welcome him back if he were to drum with them again.
Ok, Ohana is in about a month orso. Should I prepare for a disappointment? What if it's Klinghoffer? Or Zak Starkey (who's a fine drummer but IMO a terrible fit for PJ). Or should I look forward to an exiting announcement like Matt Chamberlain or Stephen Perkins? Or will I have a more wait-and-see attitude? Ok ok, they also went for Josh Freese?
The drum parts on Ten are among my favorite Pearl Jam drum parts ever recorded, but after watching this video, I'm not sure I liked what I heard.
Dave seemed really stiff to me, almost like he was afraid of making a mistake, using the same fill over and over again. By the end of the video, he loosened up a little, but I'm not sure this is the kind of drumming I expected from someone being considered for Pearl Jam's new drummer position.
from the clips i saw, he looks like drumming is more of a hobby than a professional skill. he makes up for it somewhat by feeling it, knowing the PJ songs, and being into it. but he is not refined and better suited for a wedding cover band than an actual tour drummer

klinghoffer did his best filling in on those shows and it was better than nothing but no, he’s not a great drummer and many of the songs were out of his depth. him being employed as the full time new drummer would be terrible news.

Nah, it probably wont be Klinghoffer. I would be extremely disappointed. If it's Starkey I also would be disappointed, his style is very classic rock. Not punk rock at all. Not that they need a punk drummer, but a more versatile drummer would take them much further. Like Chamberlain, Freese or Perkins.
