I've heard several names bouncing around. Of the ones I've heard, someone like Virgil Donati makes sense to me. You need a guy that is used to touring as well as being able to keep up with the band. You need a real pro.
I've heard Gavin Harrison's name mentioned by fans. He could probably do it, but I'm sure he's happy enough with Porcupine Tree, and I don't know if he is even into DT. And that might be an obstacle for the band. There are probably tons of drummers that could play Portnoy's parts, but some may not be into DT's style. I wonder if they'd pull a Metallica and hold open auditions for their fans. However, I'd be very surprised if they went with a complete unknown. |
