actually excited for the change

navene is so fucking good but this guy is nuts.

what a wacko

yea navene was really coming into his own, but garstka is crazy good

hmmmm....

Didn't even know that the drummer left.

just in time to walk away from the meshuggah and thrice farewell tour! smooth move!

I'm actually really bummed about this. New guy seems good, but I doubt he'll have the same energy that Navene did.

@asaf Meshuggah farewell tour?

i care slightly less about them now

why nothing changed

@Devastator he mean't the meshuggah tour, and the thrice farewell tour. Commas people.

Another djentleman bites the dust.

As long as Tosin doesnt leave its all good. He has been playing with BOO and might be recording with them.

lol tosin leaves his own project and I highly doubt he'll do that

Listened to the new album and wasn't really enthralled or anything... add to that the fact that they were only so-so live. I've kind of lost faith in this band, and this doesn't really change anything.

Don't really see a new drummer affecting anything, really.

Ooooooo this should be awesome

Navene is one of my favorite drummers, in one of my favorite bands no less...but the new guy is insanely good too, so no worries. I'm just kinda sad that he's leaving to join the already over-saturated DJ/electronic producer scene...oh well.

wake me when tobin makes the next AAL album, otherwise i don't care about his touring drummer

Lameeee. Go back to programming the drums. No other drummer can replace.

Excited to hear something with him in it.

So will this really change anything?

not at all until they decide to record again and the playing might slightly change

Didn't know they lost a drummer.

There's other people in this band besides Tosin Abasi?

NOOOO navene was so awesome =[

Guess I should check out this new guy...

That's too bad - Navene is a great drummer. Fleshwrought would've blown without him

"There's other people in this band besides Tosin Abasi?"

Idk how technically skilled their bassist is, but some of the bass lines are bamf

Tosin did the bass for the first album and I think the second

I'm interested to see what his future projects are. I'm guessing he is a multi instrumentalist? He is a legit drummer though.

AaL doesn't have a bassist, they have tosin, Javier Reyes (another 8 string guitarist), and their drummer

I thought Tosin had 8 arms and played all instruments.

He does but he prefers to look humble on stage.

There's an Abraham Reyes and Javier Escuella.

Sucks, this dude was pretty sweet live.

Navene is a great drummer, new guy is sick as well. It's all about Tosin, though.
