John Hoffman has shared some thoughts on his new role as Primus’ drummer. The musician says he is “so unbelievably excited to be a part of this.”
Vocalist/bassist Les Claypool recently shared the below message he received from Hoffman:
“Thought Id share a note from Hoffer. Great guy:
‘Morning brother! Things are so good. Just tripping out at this reaction. I can’t believe (1) how massively viral this is and (2) how incredibly positive and supportive the fan base is being about you choosing me. I’m overwhelmed. Thousands of comments from complete strangers ” yes, I was rooting for him all along”, “Primus made the right choice”, “I can’t wait to hear Primus with this guy on drums”…so unbelievable, I’m just humbled and shocked….and I cannot friggin wait. Les, I mean it, this is the most incredible thing that has ever happened to me. The only day that compares to this is the day I married my amazing wife.
And the ENTIRE city of Shreveport is losing its mind right now. It’s like I just won the damn Super Bowl
Someone proposed to the city council that Feb 7th in Shreveport becomes “John Hoffman Day”
This is amazing, and I’m just so unbelievabley excited to be a part of this.
You’re the man, Colonel Claypool’“
