Following the departure of fan-favorite drummer Jay Weinberg, Suicidal Tendencies has revealed their newest recruit.
Announced Friday via the band's social media platforms, Xavier "X" Ware will step in as the iconic thrash metal band's new drummer.
Ware has already worked with lead singer Mike Muir on his upcoming solo project and is ready to jump into the mix. His first performance with Suicidal Tendencies will take place at the ShipRocked Cruise Festival, a music festival held aboard a cruise ship. This year will mark the band's third appearance at the event.
Weinberg announced his departure from Suicidal Tendencies in early January after nearly two years with the band. In a heartfelt Instagram post, the former Slipknot drummer explained that his decision was driven by his growing family and desire to focus on solo projects. With Weinberg's exit, Ware now steps into the role.
Alongside Ware, the current Suicidal Tendencies lineup includes vocalist Muir, guitarists Dean Pleasants and Ben Weinman and bassist Tye Trujillo.

Suicidal Tendencies was formed in 1980 by Muir, who remains the only consistent member of the band. Throughout their career, the group has released 14 studio albums, achieving significant commercial success and garnering widespread recognition as crossover thrash pioneers. The band has also made a major cultural impact, including induction into the Skateboard Hall of Fame in 2016 and a Grammy Award nomination.
Ware, 24, has played with several bands throughout his career, most recently serving as a touring drummer for Bilmuri. With a lifelong passion for music, he is excited for this new journey.
"I hope my sound can continue to touch every heart, soul, and mind. I am very grateful for the opportunity to play drums in whatever setting, and I hope to be able to do so forever."
