    Jonathan Cohen interviewed Josh recently about his new record, and asked:

    JC: If in some universe they asked you to play drums, would you do it?

    JK: In a heartbeat. It would be the fulfillment of my dreams. The sad fact is that I don’t play enough drums these days to at least appear like I’ve got it under control. I did one full show and a smattering of other ones. For the record, I’d do it before you could even finish the question.

    May your days be long, til kingdom come.

    Yeah... why not ? What's your problem with him playing? He's a great musician and knows the material

    We might be two years away from live music from them! I would think the 1st thing they would do with new drummer on board is to get in the studio no?

    While Josh might be able to do it, does that mean they would go back to the pre-Josh model of no additional drum, guitar and keyboards during shows? It doesn't seem likely. The band seemed pretty happy to have Josh back there doing a bunch of extra work to fill out the sound.

    He can play drums...but he's not a drummer. He's a multi-instrumentalist. He is obviously capable of drumming in an emergency situation, like he did when Matt got sick...but I think the band likely wants him to remain in his current role and get someone whose sole focus is drumming. 
    First show: Mansfield N1 1998
    Last show: Pittsburgh N2 2025
    Show count = 80

    Seems that way - and on studio vs the road, I'd be happy either way.  Also history says they'd play shows.  I think MC and Jack Irons just hit the road before getting in the studio.  Who knows : )

    Jack might have squeezed in some studio time. He did play on Stupid Mop after all.

    IIRC, the initial Yield tour ended in the spring, and they went back out w/Matt a couple of months later.

    This all seems like needless speculation. It's no secret that Ed will be returning from Japan with Kahokiss in tow.

    So at what point do we rally the guys to go on an all acoustic tour.  I would effing love that.  If they're wanting to get out there, but minus a drummer, just do that.

    Anyone who can play drums is a drummer. You’re not limited to only one instrument.

    No offense to any drummers here but I’d rather see a true drummer step in after all we’ve been watching Matt fucking Cameron for 30 years!

    Drums were his first instrument and he started playing at 9. Not sure what people here consider a drummer or not. 

    I play drums. MC is one of my favorite drummers ever. 

    And Pearl Jam’s music isn’t that complicated to play on drums. MC is capable of playing way harder stuff like he did with Soundgarden. Pearl Jam basically comes down to energy and stamina. Especially if they go back to longer sets.

    Well longer sets are a thing of the past with this band even with a new drummer, Josh himself says he’s not sure of his drumming abilities but I’m sure with practice he could def do the job
