Is Ed touring with a new drummer? Options

[dangum]

So far Ed has used a couple of drummers on tour. First there was Ramy Antoun and then Cory Heerlein replaced him for certain dates.

According to a Facebook post by "Sabian" (the Cymbal manufacturer), Ed will be using another drummer on his Canadian tour this month.

Drummer Bryan Head has a busy year coming up - touring with Ed Kowalczyk (LIVE) this month in Canada and with Roger Hodgson (Supertramp) this fall!

I don't even see why this matters, if you've played drums for a year or two you can play any drum part on Ed's album.

Oh wait...

just to expand on this, a great session drummer/musician can play a vast variety of music at all/most levels of difficulty and is quick to connect with other musicians. Looking at his credentials, it seems like this guy is more than capable of playing Ed tunes.

I mean from shelby lynne to steve vai?

Not that I cared for this rammy dude (the creep factor was ahhh) but I looked into him and he is a lot better of a drummer than he shows on Ed's music (obviously cause that's what ed's music called for/Ed wanting that way) Not my taste but I will not blast the guy (anymore hehe, I jumped on that wagon a few times before too) just cause he is playing with Ed.
Some of you just want to say he sucks because he is/was playing with Ed and you are still butthurt about the whole thing or don't know any better as far as drumming goes. I am only speaking of his technical abilities as a drummer here. Not what he looks like or how he plays Live songs. But that there goes into the whole objective/subjective debate where I learned long ago is a debate that can never end.
