Pearl Jam Has a Change of Heart Over Drummers Who Have Served

March 12, 2017 Alan Cross 0 Comments

Through its history, Pearl Jam has had a Spinal Tap-ish relationship with drummers. Things have been much more stable since Matt Cameron came into the fold, but before he settled in, there was a parade of dudes. Dave Krusen, Matt Chamblelain, Dave Abbruzzese and Jack Irons have all served, so shouldn’t they be acknowledged with Pearl Jam’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

After being quiet on the subject for too long, Pearl Jam has had a change of heart. This was tweeted out this weekend.
