I don't think the term "industry plant" is right here. typically an industry plant is someone who is marketed as an artist who worked their way up in an organic fashion when in reality there's a large corporation behind them cultivating them when the reality is that the artist was covertly inserted into the industry to seem like a natural following built their career and said artist paid their dues (see Lana Del Ray, Paramore, Avril Lavigne).

this just seems like a cushy gig for a working drummer who has connections?

He drummed for several bands that Travis has worked with, MGK, JXDN and prob a few others. Alkaline trio is in the studio with Travis right now. Put 2 and 2 together! Come on dude! Did you just fall out of a tree that produces coconuts ?  : )

So no known connection between the guy and Travis? I just saw a video of the kid naming his top 5 drummers and he didn’t name Travis. Just making things up to fit your narrative? Sounds about right 

you watch Asmongold dude. Nobody, and I mean nobody, wants to hear you talk to someone else like they “fell out of a coconut tree.” Thats the lamest insult I’ve heard in awhile too, just sayin

I feel like there’s no way that Travis doesn’t know him. My non-confirmed theory is that Travis is drumming on the new record and recommended Tosh because he’s very capable and accomplished for his age. 
 

 

dude is pretty damn good. I prefer Derek and Atom over him of course, but he should do a great job.

The GOAT !  He is such an integral part of Alkaline Trio now that it’s a shame that he isn’t in the band anymore.  I was just listening to Agony and Irony the other day.

Yeah, he’s the GOAT. His fills and dynamic intuition changed the whole feel of each song.  Something about his wrist movement or how confident he is when he drums that I can’t stop watching.

I’m always very sad when I think about him because he’s struggling with bipolar disease, I hope he’s doing well ♥️

I guess I gotta listen to more of their catalogue because ak3 fans are always talking about how great Derek is at drums, but nothing ever caught my ear. Not saying he isnt, I have never deep dived into their albums. But I guess hes from or at least lives around Detroit? My friend who has been a massive ak3 fan forever has ran into him a few times

My understanding is that he was also responsible for a lot of the harmonies and programming bits on their records. One of those situations where Dan and Matt would do their thing and then he’d just go into the studio and tinker

Frankly? I'm tired of the over-exaggerated-moving type of drummers. He's good, no question about that, and I'm sure he's going to do it great,  but I'm just sick of that. Not judging, I have no right to do that, but you know...

Derek was not only about power, what I loved about him the most is the feeling and elegance he's able to express. It's about the feel, the flow and everything in between.

And not only that. He's responsible of the big twist the band took on their imaginery, just derailing into a more romantic-looking aesthetic. Yeah, they were all about 'darkness' and that sort of references, but their 'lore' took that sort of 19th romantic feel between Good Mourning, and specially in Crimson and Agony and Irony. Some sort of classic terror and romantic influence. That reflected on lots of designs and, as I said, the whole imaginery.

Yeah, the Sekrets albums have some serious bangers.

Fuck. I forgot about them. Gonna have to revisit Luciferian Blues today. That’s the only song I know but it was indeed a banger
