MEGADETH Have Found A New Drummer

Video footage reveals the band jamming with their new drummer.

Dave Mustaine's son, Justis, who we're pretty sure is a fan of Metal Injection, posted the below video revealing that Megadeth have found a new drummer. Of course, their former drummer Shawn Drover quit a few weeks ago, followed shortly by guitarist Chris Broderick.

The video, shot in fucking portrait view (come on, you should know better) shows 'deth bassist Dave Ellefson jamming on "Rust In Peace…Polaris" with their new headless drummer:

Seems like the chances of it being Nick Menza are small, and rather it's just some new guy coming into the band. Menza was out all week promoting his new group with former Megadeth members Chris Poland and James Lomenzo. As I've said before, it doesn't make sense for Mustaine, financially, to hire anybody but a young gun willing to play for a smaller asking price than an established name like Menza.

Previously, Megadeth have hinted at entering the studio in early 2015 to write a new album.

Does anybody have any clues as to who it could be?
