I think Ill be announced with new tour dates. Maybe they will do some shows later this year. Ohana and some more..

As much as I want to, I don't see Josh Freese stepping in... I saw him with NIN the other night (infuckingcredible) and while I love him as a player, unless he's looking for a quiet retirement gig, Pearl Jam is not his next stop. Perkins makes the most sense to me given where he is in his career and his style.

yeah, both Perkins and Chamberlain would be a great fit. Im also starting to think it will be a slightly younger and lesser known drummer.

I'm kind of more interested in an unknown drummer, I'd like to think (probably naively) that there are more surprises and new musical avenues to go down with someone we'd never expect

I'm guessing the new drummer is announced in January/February 2027 along with tour dates scheduled throughout that year.

Will they release a new album before the next tour?

I bet they tour one more time and then do a new album in 2028 or so.

i could totally see them announcing a tour without announcing the drummer

would be so PJ

they love to act like they are guarding nuclear secrets with everything

From a publicity stand point it makes perfect sense. Their carrot is mystery and suspense, and their stick is Eddie's million dollar penis.

I have a feeling it won't be a permanent thing. Like if they announce another tour they'll say something like, "and joining us for this tour is drummer xxx"

it's gonna be like Boom where he doesn't get healthcare benefits or a 401K match

Jay Lane might be free with Bobby Weir shuffling off...

A female drummer would be cool. Apparently Kahokiss is playing her last show with Otoboke Beaver on the same day Eddie plays Kyoto.

Why wouldn’t they just have Josh K driving the rhythm?

Posted: **Mon February 23, 2026 9:21 am**

Cause Josh K is not a very good drummer? Adequate at best.

But hey, thats how he got the job in the Peppers too. Being a touring musician first.

I would be very disapointed if they indeed went for Josh (also because if the accident..)

Agreed.

Leaving aside the vehicular manslaughter and his broadly unpleasant vibe, he's not a very good drummer.

That hat he wears bothers me

Posted: **Mon February 23, 2026 2:25 pm**

The accident is a dumb reason for considering anything. People who make horrible mistakes in their lives still have friends and family that love them.

As a person who has no idea what makes a drummer good, I have no opinion on Klinghoffer as drummer.

Posted: **Mon February 23, 2026 2:30 pm**

Spenno´s wild obsession with that accident is disturbing

Posted: **Mon February 23, 2026 3:01 pm**

Josh Kancelhoffer am I right

Posted: **Mon February 23, 2026 4:05 pm**

I’m with Ruddo. Just don’t like the hat.
