When will the new drummer be revealed?

[Aniland]

I will predict November. November 25th to be exact.

[Samsara]

IF they get a new drummer. They could still work something out. This Hall of Fame induction might make Portnoy realize he's made a VERY bad mistake.

Its not like its THE Rock and Roll hall of fame.  Just look at their website man.  Its great for DT to be getting recognition, but this honestly isn't a huge deal.  James said they would start auditions in a couple of weeks, I think, so announcing the new drummer in November or December seems likely.

[The Letter M]

I said December. Maybe the 12th.

Although come to think of it, I should have said November...the 11th. 11/11... to announce the drummer for their 11th album, to be recording in 2011.

Damnit.

I went for December. Although it could easily be as early as October, they're not going to be majorly hesitant. But it's hard to know how many rounds of auditions there will be. I imagine they'll tell us as soon as they can, but I couldn't say how arduous the process would be. Schedules and contracts and multiple rounds of interviews and auditions, I could see it possibly taking until December.

That said, I haven't done much music-based speculation, lately. I'm usually looking at TV shows, which take ages to confirm anything as it's such a complex and multifaceted animal with pre-production and confidentiality and all that dancing, so I could easily be adding weeks onto my estimate for no good reason. And probably am.

They start auditioning drummers next month. So I guess we'll know in the late November/early December

I applaud this. And I sincerely hope that this is correct.

[tri.ad]

Before Christmas.

I think the new drummer will be announced in December. I'm sure they'll reveal it before going into studio.

[Adami]

I would pay 7-8 asian children a DVD of all of the different auditions they have.

This. I voted November though.

[Dr. DTVT]

December 5.  They will call me and personally let me know first as my birthday present.

[Gorille85]

That is pretty classy of theirs.

I have to admit, this thought crossed my mind too.

[The Letter M]

Another interesting tidbit is that they'll be finding their 10th member,  in the year 2010, since their inception as a band, after the release of their 10th album, then they'll go on to record their 10th studio record with CJS.

...yeah, I'm bored.

They'll announce it next Sunday then. 10/10/2010 *lolmoarnuggetz*

[DeanTheater]

I am thinking November.  Give time to acclimate him to the crew before the studio.

Kind of exciting

[MetalManiac666]

December.

[delossantosj]

again guys. if they get a new drummer. it might be john karel... very good chance.

Why would it be a good chance?


Also

I just checked out the guy in your post. Good drummer, but horrible for DT.

People need to realize that DT need a metal drummer. A straight prog, fusion or whatever drummer isn't going to fit in no matter how good they are. They need someone who thinks metal.
