Smashing Pumpkins name new drummer
The Smashing Pumpkins are making it official: Mike Byrne, a 19-year-old Portland native, has officially replaced Jimmy Chamberlin as the band’s drummer.
In addition, the Pumpkins will make “a major announcement” about a new album next month, a band spokesman said Monday.
Byrne was among 1,000 drummers who answered singer-guitarist Billy Corgan’s call to audition for the job last April. Chamberlin, who joined the band soon after its formation in the ‘80s, quit the Pumpkins in March. In explaining the move on his Web site, Chamberlin said, “I can no longer commit all of my energy into something that I don’t fully possess. I won’t pretend I’m into something I’m not. I won’t do it to myself, you the fan, or my former partner. I can’t just, ‘Cash the check’ so to speak.”
Corgan is the only original member left in the Pumpkins, which became one of Chicago’s most commercially successful bands after emerging in 1988. Byrne is a veteran of various Portland indie bands, including Moses, Smell the Roses and the Mercury Tree.

A perfect 'yes man' for Billy Corgan.

A 19 year old kid will probably put up with most of his bullshit.

I understand the guy is displaying his talents, but it isn't exactly a 'beat' with any rhythym, somehow the guy in the hat is rocking out next to him!
