Primus have announced they are looking for a drummer to replace Tim Alexander in an open call.
“We are currently taking submissions from all points in the universe for the position of Primus drummer/percussionist,” the band wrote on Instagram. “Seeking a well-mannered, affable individual with original sensibility and aesthetic, possessing a desire to open new doors in the creative world. Flashy chops are wonderful, but groove, pocket, and the ability to listen, react, and contribute to the musical conversation is a must.
“It came as a complete shock to all of us here in the Primus camp,” the musicians wrote in a statement. “On the heels of a wonderful Spring & Summer of touring and some fabulous plans ahead, it has been a bit bewildering for us that Herb would so abruptly opt out. After several attempts to communicate with Herb, his only response was another email stating that he has ‘lost his passion for playing.
Though not the band’s founding drummer, Alexander was considered part of Primus’ “classic” lineup, joining the group in 1989 and appearing on their 1990 debut albumWhile Alexander previously left Primus on a pair of occasions, he rejoined the band a decade ago and remained a member until the band’s Oct. 29 statement announcing he’d quit.
