description: "Timothy Wayne \"Herb\" Alexander is an American retired musician, best known as the former drummer for the rock band Primus. Prior to Primus, Alexander was the drummer for Arizona's Major Lingo from 1985-1990. Alexander has been in Primus across three stints; he initially left the band in 1996 and rejoined in 2003 before leaving again in 2010 and re-joining in 2013, again departing in October 2024. Alexander has played in several projects with Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan including the bands Puscifer and A Perfect Circle. He earned the nickname \"Herb\" from his Primus bandmates after carrying a fanny pack full with herbs like ginseng that he would distribute."
