Flower Kings drummer Zoltan Csörsz will join King Crimson for their upcoming (1-2 years away) album(s)/tour(s).  The news can be found in this interview with Roine Stolt.  From the interview:

MARTIEN: Zoltan, the “old” drummer” has returned, why?

ROINE: Why not? Ha ha…. I think that if I will tell the whole story this will be too complicated for the fans, so I will give you the short version. Let’s say that Marcus who played on Paradox Hotel could not commit to this new recording as he had other things to do…. We had already booked the studio so we said, let’s try and ask Zoltan and he said without further ado, I will do it. However during the upcoming tour we will have another drummer as Zoltan has commitments with King Crimson, so there you go.

This means that Zoltan will join Pat Mastellotto, Robert Fripp, Adrien Belew, and Tony Levin to form the new incarnation of King Crimson.

I thought I read somewhere that Pat M. would be joining The Flower Kings. So basically they are exchanging drummers? Confused

Yes, Pat sat in with the band for a while.  But now both of them will be performing in King Crimson.

I say bring in Manu Katché to The Flower Kings. The man would be killer to that band.

Inside Out says that Pat will be joining The Flower Kings on this tour.

Holy hell.  I've been dreaming of Zoltan with King Crimson for -years-.

I don't care what I have to sacrifice, I WILL be seeing this lineup.  Even if I have to donate my heart to John Wetton after his triple bypass!

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.Nuke

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

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...

Roine also said:

"It was a joke or he got it wrong .
I never said Zoltan would join KC .

Roine . "  :)

Best, Steve

re: Flower King Drummer in KC
:: Posted by lofreequency on October 18, 2007

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.
