The Sammus Theory solves drummer drought
April 16, 2009 · Print This Article
Arizona’s desert heats up with the newest addition to Phoenix’s sons, The Sammus Theory.
Paul Wandtke, graduate of the highly esteemed Berklee School of Music in Boston joins forces with Sam and band to create a most slamming sonic union. *Wandtke replaces Dan Johnson, who bailed last month for perceived greener pastures, landing the coveted Brian “Head” Welch back seat.
Per Sammus, “More than 20 drummers sent us tapes to land the gig. As soon as we met Paul it was game over!”
“After numerous amounts of attempts to find the RIGHT band both musically and personally; I finally found it!” Wandtke stated in a recent blog entry
Great news
Paul looks to be a great addition to the Sammus Theory!!
Right on! Paul’s a kick ass drummer! Great job on adding him to TST gang!
aaaahhhh!!!!!!!!! Step ur muuuhh fuckin game up!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved Dan and thought he fit perfect with Sam and The Sammus Theory. If the rumors are true and Dan did leave for greener pastures, does such a thing exist? Very bad move on his part in my opinion being The Sammus Theory is the next best thing to Tool. I just watched the videos of Paul. Great choice and I would expect nothing less of Sam. I loved Dan but Paul is sooooo fucking bad ass!!!!!! I cant wait to see and hear the results of this calaboration!!!!!!
*wonders why they text in the article contains negative conotext towards dan leaving.* But on another note. I think that band is only improving!!! Paul IS an amazing drummer with alot of talent. BRING THAT FIRE!!!! Cant wait to see what he can deal! ROCK!!!
Yeah, Paul Wandtke looks set to do a good job. Comming from Berklee you can be sure he’s got the chops for it.
Right On Paul!! ^_^
sounds awesome! cant wait to see tst with paul now
Yo, can’t wait to see him in action, they got a show coming up and I will be there to see what this guy can do!
Welcome Paul! Can’t wait to see you in action next week!
I also loved Dan. However ,Paul looks and sounds like a “PERFECT” fit to The Sammus Theory. An amazing band with a new amazing drummer! We see them Wednesday night at Club Red. Can’t wait! Congratulations to them all.
