Primus Lose Drummer Tim “Herb” Alexander
Primus say drummer Tim "Herb" Alexander has left band "effective immediately"
Primus have announced that drummer Tim "Herb" Alexander has left the band "effective immediately." In a statement on their website, the band said that Alexander's departure was "amicable" and that they "wish him all the best in his future endeavors."
Alexander has been a member of Primus since 1988, and has played on all of the band's albums. He is known for his unique drumming style, which incorporates elements of jazz, funk, and metal.
No replacement drummer has been announced
Primus have not yet announced a replacement for Alexander. The band is currently scheduled to begin a tour of North America in September, and it is unclear who will be playing drums on the tour.
Alexander's departure is a significant loss for Primus. He is a highly skilled drummer who has been a major part of the band's sound for over 30 years. It will be interesting to see how Primus sound with a new drummer, and whether they can maintain the same level of success that they have enjoyed with Alexander.
