I will predict November. November 25th to be exact.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Before Christmas.
-
I think the new drummer will be announced in December. I'm sure they'll reveal it before going into studio.
-
I would pay 7-8 asian children a DVD of all of the different auditions they have.

This. I voted November though.
-
December 5. They will call me and personally let me know first as my birthday present.
-
That is pretty classy of theirs.

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

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*

I am thinking November. Give time to acclimate him to the crew before the studio.
:metal Kind of exciting
-
December.

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.
-

It's not about whom, it's about when.
-
According to CJS's latest tweet they haven't auditioned yet.
"No announcement of a drummer. We haven't auditioned yet that will come soon enough. Clue, i have been hinting at this over the last week."
-

?
Could you elaborate on that?

That's what the thread is about. It's not about some random dude that has been mentioned through cross-posting in two or three threads.
-
If they are going to start actually playing with new drummers soon, you would think that they have contacted everyone they like so far and have given those drummers the magic short list of stuff to work on.
Man I would kill to be at those auditions.
They had better be filming them all! Maybe one day down the road they will end up on a dvd?

The DT11 drummer will be revealed at the first show.
The record will be released, and the name of the drummer will be left off, leaving all of us in amazement. Nevertheless, we all realize that the mystery drummer is quite good, perhaps even better than MP. He will be technical, emotional, and articulate. We will be debating amongst ourselves whether or not this drummer is actually a step forward for the band. We'll have polls, arguments, people banned left and right. We will argue about MP's postion outside of Dream Theater, being sure to overanalyze each and every interview he participates in, being sure to interpret everything in a negative light. Will MP be the next Kevin Moore, or will he retain his respect among fans?
Amidst the calamity, tour dates suddenly appear on the DT website. It is announced that the new drummer will be joining them on stage at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert, an honor which they attain when Billboard places DT11 at the number 1 slot. Within days of the announcement, the seats are completely booked.
The big day arrives. Some fans are already there, camped outside the theater like a bunch of Halo 3 fanboys. By sundown, the area is completely packed. Cars litter the street like the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Even some poor DTFers who didn't get tickets fast enough are content with hearing the music's faint echo half a mile away. A bright day, but a sad day. The world watches on.
At long last, the lights of the grand stage dim. Shouts of ecstasy rumble the very earth itself. A faint but growing silver light beams down at a velvet curtain. The four crisp silhouettes we know oh so well can be seen, but the fifth is blurred beyond recognition.
Like a winding snake, the majestic curtain gently falls to the ground to the sound of the familiar hum to the intro of Metropolis. Screams fill the air in fervent desire as they behold their idols: John Petrucci, sporting his spiked hair and goatee of antiquity; Jordan Rudess, showing his brilliant white teeth in a wide grin; John Myung, as Asian as ever; Captain James Sparrow, mike stand in his left hand and shovel in his right....but alas! Our mystery drummer is still hidden behind a thick cloud of smoke! Fans sigh in beautiful agony, but the band marches on.
As the song winds to its conclusion, with one last exasperation of "eternity," the Captain turns to the crowd. As the sound of his comforting voice resounds the night, the world falls into silence.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how are we dooiiiin'?!!!! Excellent. Tonight is an especially special night. Yeah. We have had the honor and priviledge of working with the world's most technical, creative, and imaginitive drummer for our newest record, Rocktavarium. Ladies and gentlemen, let me present to you....
MIKE PORTNOY ON DRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMS! :omg:
By the way, be sure to pick up a copy of my newest solo record, Static Impulse, as you leave the auditorium."
*Mike Portnoy, please come back...:'(

I agree. Where, when, ....IsvJames there as well?
I also wonder what songs the prospects were asked to learn.
Someone needs to ask these things on JP, JR. & JLB's forums.
