Primus announce new drummer

Primus look to have officially found the successor to departed drummer Tim "Herb" Alexander. After combing through more than five thousand video auditions and partaking in a slew of in-person auditions, Primus have officially welcomed John Hoffman to the fold (see below).

Son of a veteran musician, Hoffman is a professional drummer from Shreveport, Louisiana and will presumably accompany Primus on the road this spring for their tour with Puscifer and A Perfect Circle. A video overview of his Primus audition journey can be viewed below.
