Dream Theater Find A New Drummer

Dream Theater have found a new drummer, although they are being coy over who it is.

According to Blabbermouth.net, guitarist John Petrucci has updated fans with the following message: "Hey, everyone. Wanted to quickly let you all know what’s been happening lately. I know that the big question is ‘Who is the new Dream Theater drummer?’ I also realize that some people are getting frustrated waiting for the news. Well, auditions went great and we do have someone but we are spending some time getting everything in order before making an official announcement. Let me just say that we are all incredibly excited about our choice and just bursting at the seams to let the world know!”

The band held auditions for the new drummer a couple of weeks ago to find a replacement for the departed Mike Portnoy.

Dream Theater will give the UK debut to their new drummer at the High Voltage Festival in July next year where they close the festival with a headline set on Sunday 24 July.
