The new drummer has been seen entering and leaving the studio. I guess he has a bunch of disguises. Here is the link:

Yeah I dunno, a girl drummer would actually be really interesting.

That reminds me, I think I'll go watch some more Emanuelle Caplet videos.  She inspires me.


Anyhow, look people:  It's obvious they aren't planning on saying anything for a while.  They're in the studio now.  Likely, they'll finish the new album, and we'll be well into the months of mixing, mastering, and then the production/marketing/release cycle before we hear anything.  Just chill out and wait a few months.

So you're saying that Dave Weckl might be the drummer.

Why?  Maybe people just have enough integrity to leave their vote as is even though new evidence may have come out that persuaded them that they were wrong?

Integrity only comes into play if people were expected to keep their vote the same, and if that were the case the poll would not have specifically allowed users to change their vote. Or at least that's how I read it.

In any case Marco has gotten a solid 5-10 votes since he was eliminated, so either way I'm baffled.

As far as this:

Keep in mind that we've had a lot of recent new registrations.  I'm sure a lot of newer people voted before reading all 67 pages of this thread (and I'm sure a lot of people STILL haven't), so a lot of people voting may not be aware of the most up-to-date information.

When/how was he eliminated?  I think I missed something.

And his new band basically said, "Well, uh...we're not Dream Theater, but we do know DT did NOT hire Marco because we hired him to be our full time drummer and that's what he's going to be busy with in the forseeable future."

Here are some facts:
1.  I voted for Lang.
2.  I haven't changed my vote.

Here are some possible conclusions you can draw from those facts:
1.  I know who it is, and it is Lang, because it would be ludicrous for me to know it was someone else and not change my vote.
2.  I know who it is, and it isn't Lang, but I didn't change my vote because I want to throw all of you off.
3.  I have no clue who it is, but I like Lang and don't see any point in changing my vote.

I know he didn't get the job. I just don't care enough to change it every time any of the people on the list make any kind of statement at all that can be construed as possible evidence of anything.

I created the poll, and I've stuck with Zeleny even though we know for certain that it isn't him.

Not particularly fussed as to whether people change them or not, and I might yet change it myself, but it was my initial bet and I like it being on public record.

Stolen from MP.com:



Me and another poster (can't remember who) were making this joke a few weeks ago.  Is it true the new drummer was released from a Scottish prison too early?  Can he really punch a horse to the ground?  Does he really listen to vuvuzelas when driving fast cars?  How many wrong facts does he know about ducks?

Some say he is afraid of stairs, other say that his heart beats in 5/4, all we know is he is called The Stig!

I voted for Lang and my vote have not change, he is the perfect fit to bring DT to a new level.

I wished el negro hernandez would be the new drummer.. it's not going to happen but that would be insane.

i would have liked vadrum cause it would be fun

Welck is more than welcome if he is the chosen one (maybe he is the only drummer in the world who would be like stepping back just to help dt), altho i still don't know how his name came in after 3 month without mentioning him.

Thomas Lang seems to be the most likely candidate for me, with John Macaluso being the follow-up (although I base JMa's audition on absolutely nothing).
