I was a drummer in high school and college and go all the way back with TOP. DG was my idle. We will miss him. But this guy is smokin and has the chops to handle the permanent gig. Sign him up !

@@thomasmoran1533 you make great points....i hear much of what you are saying....but there is a swinging driving style although not pure it is really pushing the band in a new way which is what i an enjoying....i am digging the solos a lot more....glad they went with him it has been quite boring listening to the same song set list for so many years and the music has a freshness again....anyways let's give it a few months and see how it evolves with both Pete Antunes and Jordan John!

See NO reason why they shouldn't Hire this fellow on the Drums, Permanently. I know there are a few other choices...but, as long as he 'did the work'...to Sub here....His playing is Spectacular, and thus...... just bring him in!
