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...

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.

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...

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 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.

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 bet the second drummer is Danny Carey from Tool.

All are irrelevant. What's next, "bring back the mellotron"?

King Crimson is not a nostalgia act.

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...

Agreed.



There was a bit of mellotron on THraK, btw.

I suppose so!  But live, it's synth guitar...  strangely, I'm much more familiar with their live output, wonder why? Wink

I listen to live KC more than studio KC as well, but to say that they haven't returned to the mellotron is factually inaccurate.

ZOMG I MADE A SINGLE TYPO! 

That's almost as bad as butchering the English language in every post I make!  Oh wait, no it isn't.  My bad.

In a different interview, Pat stated that the new percussionist is British. 

That rules out Jerry Marotta and Eric Slick.  I'm baffled.
