I want to see them do an album and tour and not introduce the drummer at all. Just don’t make any kind of attention about it all.

If they are recording with Andrew Watt then Chad Smith is the obvious choice.

He’s in the studio with Watt constantly

You should listen to Hovercraft, Dave K is is qualified enough to drum anything.

I’m not a drummer but the drums on Animal and Why Go sound similar. Animal gets a bit more funky towards the end.

Bring back Dave K

how much more is Pearl Jam going to play dark matter and/or animal?

What about Steve Gorman formerly of the Black Crowes. Perhaps he is available as a dark horse pick.

Ah ha!

That would bring some serious groove.

Steve Gorman is too busy doing the KQRS Morning show here in the twin cities!

We can will it into being. RM can do anything if we put our minds to it.

He also has a syndicated nightly show.

i would be into this

just slam a drum suit on some wino and get it going

Chad Channing
Steven Adler

Would be nice to see them back on the road with a new drummer.

Im kind of surprised we have't heard anything yet, it's been quite a while since Matt Cameron left. I wonder when and how they're going to announce it?

They are releasing a QR code next friday

I think they might not announce anything. Make a record w someone, tour w someone (maybe the same person), no one is getting added, everything stays unofficial

There’s something really beautiful about these 4 mofos needing to find another drummer. Nostalgia is a helluva drug.

I've been thinking about it, and I think the thing I want most of all from a new drummer is a new influence on the band's songwriting; don't really care what influence atm (I'm not fussy about drumming style anymore as PJ is so far out of my wheelhouse at this point), as long as it shakes them up and brings something fresh

I think we're going to get a worker-for-hire that does Ed's bidding and plays a professional and technically sound style but introduces no personal or artistic influence into the band.
