I got a hunch: I think the new drummer is Virgil Donati.

There's nothing new in the Planet X website from a long time now. Derek is working on his new solo album with Simon Phillips. No news from CAB or Seven the Hardway. Nothing on his website or wikipedia. Maybe... Who knows?

He's in LA playing with the Virgil Donati band.

I rarely complain here. I've been very patient. But I have to say...making this announcement exclusively to facebook subscribers is incredibly lame. Not everyone has or wants a facebook account. Just give us all the info already. It's like having to be part of the exclusive paying Queensryche fan club or something...ok maybe not that bad...but still...Oh and making it at 11am in the morning when most people are working...now I really don't care. I'll get the info here eventually.

Um, you should read what it says again.  It says that, if you sign up on Facebook, you'll find out "how and when" the actual announcement will be made.  It doesn't say you have to go ON Facebook to see the announcement.  They're just using Facebook as a tool to increase interest leading up to it. 
Now that Obama has closed Gitmo, when will he turn his attention to the abuses and torturing of the onions that are used to make the angry whopper?

Virgil Donati
Marco Minnemann
Aquiles Priester
Derek Roddy
Peter Wildoer

I'm pretty sure Minneman, Wildoer and Donati have been proven to be doing other things. Any news on what Lang, Priester, Roddy or Mangini are doing?

Aquiles Priester? Well... Fuck me.
I imagined the story to go more like this.

I think he'd be the only drummer there who I wouldn't like if they chose. I'd be very happy with any of the others, maybe not Derek Roddy, but that's just because I'm not too familiar with him yet.

Same here. The other 6 I would be perfectly content with, and even Priester I like in general but I can't see how he would ever fit into DT.

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

Man.......everyone all over the internet is certain it's Mangini or certain on whoever they like. But in reality, they could've chosen ANY of the 7 guys that auditioned.......it all depends on the chemistry. All I'm saying is that we should be prepared for a curve ball.

Honestly, at this point, I'm sure whoever they pick will do fine. All seven are solid drummers.

Still, I definitely think it's Mangini.
There is so little respek left in the world, that if you look it up in the dictionary, you'll find that it has been taken out.

Voted for Marco still even though I think he might be out of the running.  Although now I'm not so sure if that assumption is founded in reality anymore.  So I vote for Marco in order to KEEP THE DREAM ALIIIVE

Hahaha, great update. I don't know, but Mangini, Lang, Minneman and Donati all seemed very, very pleased to be able to audition, let alone be part of DT. I totally couldn't say who would be it based on the 'new information' we have.

Oh, please. Not another comedy option.

I originally voted for Lang. Then changed it to Minnemann, then Lang again, then Minnemann AGAIN... and got stuck with it because Rob locked it.

I'm voting for Lang once again. If it's him or Minnemann I could consider myself satisfied.

Just for the record, I don't remember locking it. In fact, I actually got a wee bit disappointed when I realised the votes were locked, as I was just raring to switch my vote to Mangini.

Not saying it wasn't me. Very possible that I did it by accident. Sounds like something I'd do.

I just watched the video. What's with all the drama? Does DT really need this "reallity show" crap? I was hoping to see the guys playing with DT, but I wasn't expecting for a shitty documentary like this.

I'm not saying it was a bad thing (the lock thing) and I'm sure it was a mod.

My only issue is BENDER!!! Get rid off it.
