U.K. mag Rhythm just scored a short interview with new NIN drummer Ilan Rubin. The fellow is only 20 years old, but it sounds like he’s got sticks big enough to replace Josh Freese’s…which surely must make Rubin want to defecate in his drawers, yeah?

No it doesn’t. I technically had to fill [Josh’s] shoes a bit since he recorded the majority of Liberation Transmission [his last band’s album], but I’m always a fan of a little competition too!
