Brandon Pertzborn (born October 17, 1994) is an American musician who is the current drummer for the punk rock band the Offspring and former drummer for Marilyn Manson, Suicidal Tendencies, Black Flag and Doyle. He has also toured with Corey Taylor, Limp Bizkit and Ho99o9.
Early life
[edit]Pertzborn was born in Grapevine, Texas where he started playing the drums at the age of 14. He took his first drumming lessons at school, but soon dropped out to learn on his own.[2] Within a few years he joined several bands with friends.[2] After playing the drums for a few years, Pertzborn began teaching drums at multiple music schools in the area.[2]
Career
[edit]Black Flag and Doyle
[edit]In 2014 Pertzborn received a e-mail from Black Flag's Greg Ginn, who, after seeing a number of videos, asked him if he wanted to audition. The band went on tour in 2015 and was the opening act for the band Doyle, a band led by Misfits guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein. As a result, Pertzborn received a call from the band offering him to join Doyle. Pertzborn accepted the offer and joined Doyle. Immediately after touring with Doyle, he recorded the drums for Doyle's upcoming album, Doyle II: As We Die.[3]
Marilyn Manson
[edit]In 2019, Pertzborn joined Marilyn Manson to replace drummer Gil Sharone after he announced he was leaving the band to pursue "other current and future projects",.[4][5][6] In July, Pertzborn played his first tour, the Twins of Evil: Hell Never Dies Tour in the US and Canada with co-headliner Rob Zombie, followed by festivals and headline dates with support from Deadly Apples.[7] The band released their cover of The Doors' "The End" on streaming music services in November, with a limited edition vinyl scheduled to be issued on March 6, 2020.[8] That same year Pertzbornn recorded the drum tracks for the album We Are Chaos (2020).
Suicidal Tendencies

In 2021 Pertzborn joined Suicidal Tendencies as a replacement for Dave Lombardo, who had left the band due to commitments with other bands (including Mr. Bungle and Testament). In April 2023, Pertzborn announced that he would be leaving Suicidal Tendencies and would be replaced by Greyson Nekrutman.[9]
The Offspring
[edit]In May 2023, Pertzborn announced himself as the new drummer for the Offspring after Josh Freese (who was their touring drummer) was no longer able to tour with the band full-time as he joined the Foo Fighters, with Pertzborn becoming the official replacement for Pete Parada, who was fired in August 2021 for failing to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.[9][10] Due to Pertzborn joining The Offspring full-time, he was unable to perform with Marilyn Manson and had to leave the band. Pertzborn's first recording with The Offspring is their upcoming eleventh studio album Supercharged (2024).[11]
Personal life
[edit]Pertzborn has been married to Emily Vallely (the daughter of Black Flag singer and professional skateboarder Mike Vallely) since October 8, 2022.
