Godsmack reveal the identity of their drummer for their upcoming shows

Mike Mangini, a former member of Dream Theater, has joined Godsmack as a live drummer, as per theprp. The multi-platinum hard rock group announced in April of last year that guitarist Sam Koltun (Dorothy) and drummer Wade Murff (Daughtry, Prong) would be joining them. In 2025, Tony Rombola and Shannon Larkin, two long-time Godsmack players, left their positions to be filled by those two. Murff’s time with the band may have been brief, though, since he has recently started playing for Black Veil Brides, which prompted Godsmack to hire Mangini for their upcoming tour. Godsmack and Murff don’t seem to have addressed this sudden roster change. Godsmack is now travelling on “The Rise Of Rock Tour” alongside Stone Temple Pilots and Dororthy.

Taking this all in today with show 1 done 😅 And just like that, I finally get to play these dream venues in the USA with my Boston brothers in @godsmack I need to thank a lot of people for putting this together so quickly. I can’t even express how grateful I am to Sully, Robbie, Sam and the entire organization for trusting me with no rehearsal. My gear companies performed nothing short of a miracle and my family, friends & fans never stopped praying for and supporting me. Thank you.
