this is one of those deceptively complex questions. for someone to simply write it off as a pointless question, doesn't make any sense to me. posts like
, in my opinion, are inappropriate.
so, in direct response to your question, will he?
my guess would be that in an inadvertent way, he will. I can guarantee you that he will buy the album (can you imagine how he will feel walking into a record store and buying a DT album, having no idea what's on it?). Personal feelings aside, MP was one hell of a drummer, and it's obvious that he is like most drummers, in that he can't help it that when he hears a piece of music, he hears the drums louder than anything else - drummers will know what I'm talking about. Will he learn the parts verbatim? I have no idea. Will he learn a portion of the parts by simply being exposed to the album? Absolutely.
So, by that logic, yeah, he will learn, at least some of the parts from the new album.
edit - well, since you edited your OP...then no. he wont. he won't know them well enough to play them with the band. but he will, to a certain degree, be familiar with them.
