MAMMOTH (formerly MAMMOTH WVH),the band led by Grammy Award-nominated songwriter, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer Wolfgang Van Halen, has parted ways with drummer Garrett Whitlock. Replacing him on the road beginning October 31 in Santiago, Chile will be Nathan Bulla (INTERVALS, PROTEST THE HERO).
Earlier today, MAMMOTH released the following statement via social media: "Touring drummer Garrett Whitlock and MAMMOTH have agreed to amicably part ways.
"We thank Garrett for his time with MAMMOTH and wish him the best in all his future endeavors.
"Nathan Bulla (INTERVALS, PROTEST THE HERO) will be joining us for drummer duties with the continuation of 'The End' tour beginning October 31st in Santiago, Chile and moving on to Europe shortly after.

"See you out there!!"
As previously reported, MAMMOTH will film its London, United Kingdom headline show at O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire on Tuesday, November 24.
Before London, MAMMOTH will join DEEP PURPLE on the road for four U.K. arena shows, a chance for anyone who misses the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire to still catch the band and experience their live magic. They then head to Ireland for two headline dates, including a rescheduled Belfast show.
The rest of MAMMOTH's current touring lineup consists of Wolfgang on guitar and lead vocals, Frank Sidoris (SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY AND THE CONSPIRATORS) on guitar, Jon Jourdan on guitar and vocals, and Ronnie Ficarro on bass.
MAMMOTH's third album, "The End", came out last October. The 10-track effort clocks in at 39 minutes and showcases the evolution of Wolfgang and his songwriting since he launched his solo career in 2020. Recorded at the legendary 5150 studio, the album was produced by friend and collaborator Michael "Elvis" Baskette.
