Primus Seeks New Drummer After Departure

Primus is actively seeking a new drummer after Tim 'Herb' Alexander's departure, attributed to a loss of passion and a need to prioritize his mental and physical health. The band has opened applications to 'all points in the universe' for a well-mannered individual with a strong sense of musicality, encouraging submissions of resumes and video performances. Until a new drummer is found, other musicians will fill in for upcoming shows, including members of Holy Mackerel and Tool's Danny Carey. Alexander, who has had a long history with Primus, expressed his decision was rooted in a desire for personal wellness and family presence. The search echoes recent similar calls from other bands, reflecting a shift in how musicians approach roles within groups. The new drummer will join Primus for the 'Sessanta V2.0' tour next spring alongside A Perfect Circle and Puscifer.
