From LaBrie via-Roadrunner/Blabbermouth (and the annoying comments that follow, why are
Metalhedz ass-holes?):

Everyone is saying their suggestions, but many already have established Bands they're in,
I dont think Danny Carey is going to leave Tool for example. As LaBrie says though, they
are auditioning 7, so we'll hear who will take the seat soon  .
As I said, Lopez is a GREAT choice, but I think his health will be an issue.
. . . but I will miss the Engine that is Portnoy, but I think DT will have a ressurrection, and Portnoy
will miss all the activity and "challenges" of playing Dream Theater type music. That may take a
few years though  .

I might have posted a similar link in another thread, but it's no harm posting it here either.
I'll be really curious to see the 7 names that Dream Theater is auditioning, as all are supposedly world-class drummers. If I'm not familiar with any of them, it would give me cause to explore their talents.
Some of the names people suggest on Blabbermouth are rather ridiculous. Many of the serious suggestions are fine drummers, but I don't think they would fit the mold (Gene Hoglan and Richard Christy for example). They definitely want a drummer known to play more than just metal, but who knows. Someone with a non-prog metal background could step up and surprise us (I'm looking at you, Rikki Rockett!!
).
