Derek Grant at the Warped Tour.

Derek Grant (born April 24, 1977) is the current drummer for punk band Alkaline Trio, where he replaced Mike Felumlee. He has previously been a member of The Suicide Machines, Telegraph, Gyga, Thoughts of Ionesco, Remainder, Walls of Jericho, and Broken Spoke, a side band with Royce Nunley and Jay Navarro. Besides playing the drums, Grant is an accomplished guitarist and singer, and briefly toured with Face to Face as the bands guitarist. In addition, he frequently joins bassist Dan Andriano and guitarist Matt Skiba on vocals and also with songwriting duties. After Alkaline Trio went through a series of drummers in the early days and first 3 full length albums, Matt Skiba recently said that "If Derek was not in Alkaline Trio then there would be no trio". It appears now that Derek is here to stay and the line of drummers is now over. Image File history File links Derek_grant. ... Image File history File links Derek_grant. ...
