Roadie To Replace Sepultura's Drummer

It's time to shine for the roadie Dedé that will be replacing current drummer Eloy Casagrande for Sepultura. Eloy was injured recently while performing in their latest show and will have to sit out for the next couple of shows to recover from the injury. In the meantime Dedé will live it up. The vocalist Derrick Green had this to say about the roadie:

"Definitely the fact that he's young and that energy helps a lot. He's a very disciplined drummer — he's been playing since he was seven. And he's been doing a lot of things by himself and playing with different people, and that's really, really impressive. He had a lot of things put together before we even met him; he's already done so much. And I think with us, a combination us together, it's a great learning process for him to grow and at the same time, we're learning a lot from him, so we can do this together. And this is something extremely important when you're doing a band that's been together for so long, to have this connection. And we felt this connection with him immediately. And we could tell that he was very focused and very committed to doing extremely good music."
