I wholeheartedly agree ! Martin Lopez is a phenomenal drummer (and perhaps even better than Mike). He may also be the shot in the arm that Dream Theater sorely needs !

Danny is the drummers' drummer. There is no one who can locking into a groove quite like him. I also think leaving Tool for DT would be a step down for him.

Yeah he's one of my top 5 favorites....and shame is he doesn't get the credit he deserves. I made a metal drummer poll a while ago and Lopez got little love

An interview with James LaBrie conducted on October 8, 2010 confirmed that there were seven world-class drummers lined up for auditions, which would be taking place through the rest of October

So. much. hate. It saddens me to see all this hate for the band which got me into prog.
Whoever said Martin Lopez is right. He is a phenomenal drummer. Also, I haven't heard much of his stuff, but Rod Morgenstein seems like a logical step, since he and Jordan have a history, and it also supports my idea of DT leaning towards proggier/more fusion-y horizons.
All your hearts now seem so far from me,
It hardly seems to matter now.

From an interview with LaBrie at Blabbermouth:
"Q: Will you consider using an external producer or will John [Petrucci,DREAM THEATER guitarist] or any of the other guys in the band take care of it?
LaBrie: I think we kind of all, at this point... I mean, that's still stuff that we're discussing. But I think that, for the most part, we've all given the nod to John Petrucci to go ahead and produce. I think that he is extremely competent and he knows exactly where we need to go and what we need to do and how we need to sound. I think he's more than capable of doing it and being in that position."
Bad news. The next album will be a boring shredfest. Not that it's any different from any DT album since 2002 though.

i just hope it isn't like the liquid tension experiment
that album has good ideas but a 90 minute album of john petrucci and jordan rudess doing unisons NO i could make it through the first 40 minutes maybe but after that it just goes on and on, six degrees of inner turbulence was great just as much of a shred fest but james labrie occasionally joining in and giving us a break

I immediately think of Virgil D. I will miss Mike, but this is not as devastating as losing Petrucci. Because John has written DT's absolute greatest songs (latest ones being Count of Tuscany, Nightmare to Remember, and rite of Passage).
