Brooks Wackerman (born February 15, 1977) is the current drummer for the American punk band Bad Religion and the younger brother of Chad Wackerman (a session drummer who once played with Frank Zappa). He played under the direction of his father Chuck Wackerman in the Los Alamitos High School Jazz Band from 1991 to 1995 and also in middle school. He learned how to play at a very young age and demonstrated his skill in early bands, most notably with Bad4Good and when he became the drummer for Infectious Grooves. This later led to becoming the drummer for Suicidal Tendencies from circa 1997 to 2001.

Wackerman played drums for the Vandals album Look What I Almost Stepped In... (released in 2000). He is the first-choice substitute for Vandals drummer Josh Freese, due to Freese's commitments with groups such as Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle, and Devo.

In 2001, he became the latest drummer for Bad Religion by replacing Bobby Schayer, who left the band due to an arm injury. He has appeared on The Process of Belief, The Empire Strikes First, and their latest album New Maps of Hell. The band has begun writing new material for their next album expected to be released in 2010.[1]

Wackerman, alongside Terry Bozzio, contributed drums/percussion for Korn's Untitled studio album. He is also the frontman for Hot Potty. Wackerman is also the drummer for The Innocent, a Thrash metal band featuring bassist Ryan Sinn (Ex-Love Equals Death, Ex-Angels & Airwaves, Ex-The Distillers), vocalist Brandan Schieppati (Bleeding Through) & guitarist Dave Nassie (No Use for a Name). In March 2008, Wackerman joined guitarist/vocalist Munky's (Korn) newest solo project, experimental, industrial rock band Fear and the Nervous System[2], alongside Billy Gould (Faith No More), Leopold Ross (Error), Zac Baird (Korn, Billy Goat), and on two tracks, but not in the band, Wes Borland (Ex-Limp Bizkit, Ex-From First to Last, Black Light Burns)[2]

He was the drummer on the Tenacious D 2006-2007 Tour.

Wackerman currently fronts Kidneys alongside Tenacious D's John Spiker and Lindsey Buckingham's John Wackerman. The band released a self-titled full-length in December 2007.

I'm a huge Bad Religion fan, but his brother Chad is much better. He was only one of three drummers (the others being Terry Bozzio and Vinnie Colaiuta) who played with Zappa who could successfully play The Black Page, one of Zappa's most complicated pieces.
