Did any of Spinal Tap's drummers survive spontaneous combustion?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Flo Mounier yet.

I'm not so much into prog-metal but among the ones I know Mike Mangini, Virgil Donati and Bozzio seem to fit.
 
Nick D'Virgilio is too subtle for DT's music.
 
I'd love them to take a drummer who gives them a more subtle and proggy style but I very much doubt that this will be the case, they will probably go full metal.
 
I guess drummers are already queuing to present themselves for an audition , mailing them demo tapes and chasing DT's agent like madmen trying to bribe him. God this is a golden job opportunity if you are a drummer !

Surprised it took so long for someone to mention Terry Bozzio. He's the obvious drummer of choice for me. Is he still in KoRn though?

How about Terry Bozzio? He might have an even bigger drum set ... Wink

nick d'virgilio and virgil donati are the first names that came to my mind actually

johan langell would also be an interesting replacement, but since he left PoS to spend more time with his family, he would possible not be interested.

It would be very interesting if a jazz-influenced fusion drummer was MP's replacement. In the style of Bruford and such. Dave Weckl maybe, or Gary Novak. Someone mentioned Christian Vander in the other thread. Now that would be spiffy.

What about Dave Grohl !     Or maybe I'll nominate good old Ringo. He's 70 now, but I'm sure he'll practice a bit, and his vocals would be interesting. ( ha ha )
