Last fall, Primus’ drummer Tim “Herb” Alexander quit the band, prompting the other members to post an open call for a new drummer. A lot of big names apparently tried out for the gig, like Thomas Pridgen (Fever 333, the Mars Volta) and Nikki Glaspie (the Nth Power, Snarky Puppy), but there can be only one, and Primus have found them. John Hoffman will sit behind the kit for Primus, Les Claypool announced today.
