Place Your Bets: who is the mystery drummer?

With Matt Cameron stepping away after nearly three decades behind the kit, and Stone recently announced they have a new drummer. But they will keep it a mystery!
So who becomes 'The Next Pulse of Pearl Jam ?'
Will the band go with a legendary Seattle veteran? A trusted longtime friend from the Pacific Northwest scene? A surprise touring pro? Or a completely unknown musician nobody sees coming?
This poll is part prediction market, part fan debate, part love letter to the entire Seattle alternative music community.
Cast your vote, defend your pick. The game of drum thrones is open!
So, place your bet! Don't pick the one you would want (It will NOT be Jack Irons or Dave A), but the one you think will be announced at Ohana.

Going with Perkins. His energy could be mana for Pearl Jam.

You can't even play drums. This is the most narcissistic post of all time.

Well we know it's not Krusen or Wilk as each has said it's not them.

Probably Max Weinberg, most well known for his work with the Max Weinberg Seven.

So far, Stephen Perkins is leading the prediction poll. With Matt Chamberlain closing in behind him ('others' had the most votes so far, but those are basically 25 different votes). So Stephen Perkins and Matt Chamberlain. Out of the bunch probably the most fitting! Ill keep the poll open till Ohana

My vote for Perkins was mostly wishful thinking. He has just the right combination of power and groove for their sound. When I was listening to Nothing’s Shocking the last time, I could fully imagine him working so well with them, which may be assurance it won’t happen - but I would posit that he might be Jack Irons level fit.
