DT doing anything more Fusion-like would be amazing.

Which is why it's good if they pick Dave Weckl.

SnakeEyes · « **Reply #2172 on:** January 16, 2011, 09:26:03 PM »

Yeah. Would he be able to do the heavier stuff, though?

I don't see why not, he seems very capable. Plus it's usually easier for virtuoso fusion players to do metal than it is for metal players to do fusion.

Oh, shit. You won the thread.
Adami -- "simplifying 61 pages of aimless speculation into three sentences" since 02:31:05 PM
Contest_sanity -- "figuring out that you win a thread when you are the 2112th post" since he finished reading this sentence.

Totally didn't get that. I typically don't even look at # of replies. I'm sorry.

I just realized that I have read every sentence in 63 pages and only because I want to know who is the new drummer!

and still no answer...

But Weckl is a pretty big name, isn't he? It would be like Terry Bozzio joining. Don't get me wrong, Weckl making DT metal-fusion would be crazy awesome, but I don't think it would be him.

Adami · « **Reply #2179 on:** January 16, 2011, 11:20:42 PM »

He's a pretty big name but so are most of the other guys listed. Plus I doubt DT would say no to someone SIMPLY because he has a big name.

Nihil-Morari · « **Reply #2180 on:** January 17, 2011, 01:09:41 AM »

I love the Weckl discussion. What about Thomas Pridgen?

Here, another amazing Weckl video, everyone check it out.

Imagine if DT incorporated this stuff into their live act.

Uh, no thanks.

Dream Theater will never branch out that far, and for good reason.

Adami · « **Reply #2184 on:** January 17, 2011, 01:16:06 AM »

Well obviously they wouldn't just do that, but imagine blending that style of drumming into JR and JPs natural tendencies to do something a little more funky.

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #2185 on:** January 17, 2011, 01:18:36 AM »

Groove would be nice but there's no real place in my heart for funk. I'd rather them just do something bizarre and out there if they're going to really break out of their confines.

Adami · « **Reply #2186 on:** January 17, 2011, 01:22:20 AM »

Well either way I'd love to see the video of Weckls audition (and the others) if they ever decide to release them.

floppa · « **Reply #2187 on:** January 17, 2011, 01:24:58 AM »

I put my vote in the "other" camp. Hoping that DT will surprise us with no one on the list above, and make Aaron Harris formerly of ISIS their new drummer.

Adami · « **Reply #2188 on:** January 17, 2011, 01:27:48 AM »

I was intrigued, and then I looked up some Isis and realised you were kidding.

ariich · « **Reply #2189 on:** January 17, 2011, 01:38:16 AM »

Weckl would be great in DT.

I think it's Weckl.

Adami · « **Reply #2190 on:** January 17, 2011, 01:40:04 AM »

Can we add Weckl to the poll?

Well, that pretty much sums the wishful-thinking based logic of 75 percent of this thread

LOL no I was not kidding. I think Harris would be a great fit with DT. Can play 8+ minute songs with ease, and drums with a huge Daney Carey influence. (They are really good friends) Listening to "Garden of Light" and "Threshold of Transformation" shows what he is seriously capable of, and over every album ISIS has released they have progressed as a band together.

But of course it is only one persons opinion...my own LOL. But all the drummers mentioned obove have not really intrigued me. Still looking forward to who will be announced though.

atmyne · « **Reply #2193 on:** January 17, 2011, 04:12:49 AM »

wait.... are there actually people who are hoping for Weckle to be the new DT drummer? Even the idea of him auditioning is barely valid. He is passionate about jazz/fusion, and I can't imagine Petrucci/anyone from DT/Management giving Weckl a spot to audition over someone who is more suitable: a progressive/metal drummer. Would Weckl really "sell-out" to play in a prog metal act rather than something more to his liking?

Lynxo · « **Reply #2194 on:** January 17, 2011, 04:14:49 AM »

Well done, Adami.

Nihil-Morari · « **Reply #2195 on:** January 17, 2011, 04:37:12 AM »

Done.

And, to echo what SE was saying about information in the old days, I didn't realize that KM had left the band until the ACOS EP came out, and I saw from the liner notes that they had a new keyboardist.

If its Thomas Lang, I'm never buying another DT record again. Good for me eh. Fuck that guy.

It's ok. If it's Thomas LAng, I will buy their next CD for you

People can certainly perplex me with there mindless drivel.

Stoneyman · « **Reply #2202 on:** January 17, 2011, 07:37:22 AM »

Forget Lang. All the newest evidence points to Weckl.

Someone should go to wiki and add him to the band already.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #2203 on:** January 17, 2011, 07:45:20 AM »

Watching some of the vids Adami posted, and Weckl is a REALLY good drummer. Too bad we haven't heard anything suggesting that he even auditioned, so I'd say he's a very long shot like Aquiles Priester. Still holding fast hope that Minnemann or Lang got the job.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #2204 on:** January 17, 2011, 07:49:57 AM »

Adami successfully shows how to spread a rumor in these troubled times in this thread.

News: DreamTheaterForums is a place for people who just don't have the time for music anymore.
