All are irrelevant. What's next, "bring back the mellotron"?
King Crimson is not a nostalgia act.

Agreed.

Well I wasn't going to say it, but I'm glad you did HH...btw, there's a new video interview up with Pat, and he says the new drummer is British, and not Bruford...I'm stumped as my guesses (Rieflin, Bozzio, or Morrota) aren't British...according to that ever credible source Wikipedia...

Oh man, I was getting excited, but it's just a joke.
Zoltan is one of the best drummers I have ever heard, at least on the studio albums. The jazzy drumming in "Unfold The Future" from The Flower Kings is outstanding and his drumming in the new album is magnificent as well (if a bit more restrained)

I just think that it would be an exciting break with some new instrument. I mean, he was doing this in the 70s all the way up until Red. I do think they are getting a bit stale. I just hope Bob doesn`t go senile.

It's definitely a drummer; read the above quote.
King Crimson has yet to produce an uninteresting album, and I don't think they're gonna start with this next one.

I think I concur...but I feel like all that's been done with them (in his eyes)...chances are he's just going to stick the course and write more of the same...?
I'm thinking with the second drummer though, it might not be a drummer per se, more like what KTU's doing?...Time will tell...

I wish Bob would bring in a violin player, sax player or multi-instrumentalist. I don`t know if I could handle another album with him and Adrian just blasting away. Maybe even another vocalist. Bob has to make Crimson more interesting at this point.

Well, Pat had previously confirmed a second percussionist in King Crimson:
 |
Music
Street Journal: What's
going on with King Crimson these days? |
|
Pat
Mastelotto: Robert
has made the call to start up again and, while nothing is fixed we are
planning to begin rehearsals next year - a few weeks at a time and lead
up to some residence gigs, no long tours, and at this point Robert doesn't
want to play outside the USA. We will be a 5 piece and i think you know
4 of us. In fact I'm sure you know the 5th man too (an incredible drummer
that i will be delighted to work with). I think you'll have to tune in
to Robert's diary over at the DGM site and await the official announcement. |
But I guess it isn't that dude from the Flower Kings. Damn symphonic groups, always trying to pull the wool over our eyes...

Roine cleared this up on FTK Yahoo Group:
Quoting Roine responding to the DPRP interview’s quote:
"Just to make shure we’re on the same page .
Pat Mastelotto will guest TFK on the nov tour . Pat Mastelotto is still in King Crimson.
I have not heard and think not that KC will need another or new drummer .
That said we’re of course happy if Pat will find time outside his Crimson commitments to do other TFK gig next year but nothing signed .
And the Zoltan / KC thing must be en error .
That's settled, end of thread.

Uhm, unless there's confirmation soon...I feel like Roine, was just being Roine and making a tongue-in-cheek joke...and it totally got taken literally...but time will tell.
I wouldn't mind hearing Zoltan in Crimson; although, I'm not too sure how much the double drummer thing will benefit them again...

Does Zoltan by any chance have a hidden talent for singing or writing lyrics?

Perhaps this exchange of drummers will result in a tour together? They could encore with all nine of them together for an overblown rendition of Red.
