Primus has officially welcomed John Hoffman as their new drummer following an intense audition process that attracted over 6,200 applicants. Hoffman, relatively unknown in the wider music scene, is however recognized in Shreveport as a highly active performer, booking more than 250 gigs annually. He was chosen after a five-day audition, which included jamming with the band and receiving praise from notable musicians like Maynard James Keenan from Tool. Hoffman will tour with Primus in the upcoming "Sessanta V2.0" tour this spring alongside A Perfect Circle and Puscifer.
Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. I came and did my thing the way I do it. It went as well as I could have hoped. Maynard James Keenan was sitting directly in front of me and watched my entire audition. He gave me this towel. It's been one of the most incredible days of my life.
Hoffington!!! Welcome aboard! @johnhoffmandrums.
