Tue, 12 Oct 2010

Dream Theater's James LaBrie has confirmed they have 7 replacements lined up for Mike Portnoy.

In an interview with Metal Messiah Radio the singer revealed they're not rushing into anything, "Because it's a big move for us; it's unprecedented within the band. This is our first time coming up against finding a drummer for Dream Theater. We do have everything in place. We don't have a drummer yet, but we have auditions for drummers all set up, and it's all ready to go within two weeks. So in two weeks we will start auditioning drummers. We already have seven guys lined up that are gonna come into the studio and they are going to play through some songs and so on and so forth.”

The band are confident that one of the 7 drummers they are auditioning is the one but are keeping the identities quiet, "out of those seven, we will definitely have our drummer. They're all world-class drummers. I can't tell you who — I'd love to tell you, but I can't.
