[edit] Current bands
Tony Palermo is no longer the current drummer for the punk rock band Pulley, after the departure of Jordan Burns tony took over but now Metal Bob is behind the kit.
When Papa Roach drummer Dave Buckner was sent to rehab in 2007, the band asked Tony Palermo if he would be willing to play drums for the band live. During the tour, the band formed a relationship with Palermo. In January 2008, when Dave left the band for good, Papa Roach asked Tony to be the band's permanent drummer. It was the band's first line-up change since 1996, also the first since signing with a major label. Tony is featured on Papa Roach's albums, Metamorphosis and Time for Annihilation, and was also a touring drummer for Sixx:A.M. while the band was on the Crüe Fest tour, while the band was featured in the tour along with Papa Roach.[3]
