Primus announce new drummer

Primus

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.

If I didn't know better, I thought they got Weekend Nachos' vocalist as their drummer.

I know the comments love to shit on everything but I really like his drumming style and he seems like a happy and humble dude. Good for him. Also, Primus sucks.

He's a really good drummer. Hopefully he makes some good money. Primus sound annoying but they probably make bank on tour.
