The world famous Chicago group The Smashing Pumpkins had eventually found a new drummer, said their official web site. A new member of Billy Corgan’s band is going to be the 19–years old Mike Byrne from Beaverton, Oregon. This young drummer had already spent some time with the band’s frontman and even was able to participate during the latest demo recording process. As Corgan says, Byrne is totally fitting into the band’s requirements, very talented and progressive guy. The Smashing Pumpkins vocalist had also noted that he considers Byrne to be a drummer of the future. Seems that Mike is marching on top as fast as anyone can imagine. Nineteen and working with such a band, it looks absolutely unbelievable. Before joining Corgan he used to play with an indie group “Moses, Smell the Roses” in his home town. Byrne had replaced Jimmy Chamberlin who has left The Smashing Pumpkins in March, 2009. While leaving the band Jimmy had commented it with no real anger in his voice, only stating that The Smashing Pumpkins is not doing what it suppose to do and that he is going to spent all the time with his new solo project Jimmy Chamberlin Complex. At the same time he remains to be in good relations with hix ex-bandmates.
