Colin Brittain will replace Rob Bourdon on drums.
Linkin Park just did a live gig in front of a “Linkin Park Underground” audience, video here
Edit: Billboard interview with Shinoda, Farrell and Armstrong, also delving into the drummer change and how this all came together
Wait I missed something, why were they looking for a new lead singer and drummer?
Well they didnt reunite for 7 years after Chester Bennington died. And always said that they’d only make new music as Linkin Park if all living members were fine with it. It’s not really known yet why Rob Bourdon isn’t returning as drummer.
Looked up the new song. Sounds like the drums were probably programmed with a sample kit in Komplete or something cause the beat is super generic. Which would make sense cause they also announced a new drummer, so maybe this was tracked before he joined. Song was all right, for their genre, which is not my speed. Their first album was so brilliant for the time, but they drifted into radio-pablum after that, at least to me.
