Here are nine drummers who could<\/em> replace Matt Cameron<\/a> in Pearl Jam<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cameron announced his split with the legendary band after 27 years<\/a> in a social media post earlier today (July 7), teasing that there will be “more to follow.” It’s unclear at this time whether he’s pursuing a different musical endeavor or stepping away from it altogether.<\/p>\n The remaining members of Pearl Jam shared Cameron’s post and added an additional message of their own, wishing him the best and expressing how greatly he’ll be missed.<\/p>\n Coincidentally, there have been a lot of bands that have parted ways with their drummers in 2025, including\u00a0Guns N’ Roses<\/a>,\u00a0Foo Fighters<\/a>,\u00a0Godsmack<\/a> and several others. Thus, it seems there are quite a few on the market that could take Cameron’s place.<\/p>\n That isn’t to say that Cameron can easily be replaced \u2014 his thunderous drumming has been the backbone of Pearl Jam’s sound since the late ’90s after Jack Irons<\/a> suddenly quit. Cameron played on the band’s whole discography from 2000’s\u00a0Binaural\u00a0<\/em>to 2024’s\u00a0Dark Matter,\u00a0<\/em>so the future of Pearl Jam and their sound is uncertain.<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0The Best Hard Rock Album of Each Year of the ’90s<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n They’ve had quite a few drummers in and out of the band over the years \u2014 Dave Krusen<\/a>, Matt Chamberlain, Dave Abbruzzese, and then Irons and Cameron. It doesn’t seem likely that Cameron’s departure will put an end to the band, but rather mark a new chapter.<\/p>\n Scroll through the gallery below to see nine drummers that could replace Cameron in Pearl Jam.<\/p>\n Matt Cameron announced his split from Pearl Jam in July of 2025, so here are some drummers that could take his place in the band.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Lauryn Schaffner<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Click through the gallery to see our picks for the 66 greatest hard rock and metal drummers of all time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Loudwire Staff<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n9 Drummers Who Could Replace Matt Cameron in Pearl Jam<\/h2>\n
