Mammoth, the musical project led by Wolfgang Van Halen, has officially parted ways with touring drummer Garrett Whitlock. The band confirmed that Nathan Bulla, known for his work with Intervals and Protest the Hero, will assume drum duties for their upcoming tour schedule.
In a joint statement, Mammoth noted that the separation from Whitlock was amicable, expressing gratitude for his contributions since joining the touring lineup in 2021. The announcement highlighted that Bulla will take over immediately for the continuation of The End tour, which resumes on October 31 in Santiago, Chile, before moving to Europe.
While Wolfgang Van Halen performs as a one-man band in the studio, handling all instruments and vocals, Mammoth operates as a full ensemble during live performances. The updated touring roster now includes Van Halen on lead vocals and guitar, alongside Frank Sidoris and Jonathan Jourdan on guitars, Ronnie Ficarro on bass, and Nathan Bulla on drums.
The band is scheduled to support Iron Maiden at two shows in Chile this weekend. Following these dates, Mammoth will embark on a tour across the UK and Europe running from early November through mid-December. Looking ahead to 2027, the group has confirmed a series of Canadian shows with Theory of a Deadman in March, as well as several headlining gigs in the United States.
