Royal Thunder recently parted ways with drummer Evan Diprima, though only Diprima had announced the change. Now Royal Thunder has taken to Instagram to announce that yes, everything seems to be perfectly cool with Diprima, and that they're giving a big warm welcome to new drummer Kent Aberle. Diprima drummed on all four of Royal Thunder's full-length albums.
Spring and the season of change is here! As we are ramping up for our upcoming tour we are saying goodbye to our friend and previous drummer @evandiprima . We are thankful for all the amazing experiences that we shared and the hard work that he gave along side this band. All best wishes for him in future endeavors! We are excited to have the talented and seasoned player @kentaberle rock this tour with us!!! It’s been awesome rocking with him and we are very excited to see you all very soon on this upcoming tour!!! #royalthunder #nextchapter #rockandroll
