Primus Share Open Call For New Drummer Following Tim Alexander’s Departure
“We are currently taking submissions from all points in the universe for the position of Primus drummer/percussionist,” Primus wrote on social media.
The veteran rock band – who celebrate their 40th anniversary this year – shared an open call out for a new drummer on social media today (Nov. 18) following the recent and unexpected departure of longtime percussionist Tim ‘Herb’ Alexander. Primus will reportedly move forward with their New Year’s Eve show in Oakland, California, enlisting members of Claypool’s other projects, Holy Mackerel and Frog Brigade, for a “special, one-time event.” Additionally, for their upcoming Dominican Republic festival date, they’ll be joined by Tool drummer Danny Carey. The search for a new member echoes the efforts of the Smashing Pumpkins, who announced in January 2024 they would be holding an open audition process to replace former guitarist Jeff Schroeder.
