It was Derrick who first perfected the unique drumming technique that fused the spit-fire punk-rock bombast of drummers like Eric Sandin of NOFX and Bomber of RKL, with the refined grace and agility of Stewart Copeland and Neil Peart.
Derrick is survived by his mother Trisha Boswell, father Ron Plourde, brother Brian Plourde, a niece, and a newborn nephew.

Derrick had moved to San Francisco after getting out of jail and off the State mandated drug probation/school fucking-boondoggle of a program and was playing in R.K.L. He was living in a zone called "Camputee" on 6th and Howard in San Francisco.
Derrick and Joe, among others, had transformed a pretty large industrial space (which happened to be in the fucking ghetto) into a pretty sweet living zone and practice space.
Derrick was a musician who was equally at home playing lowest-common-denominator rock or getting arty on the freakout.

 Europunk.net - Interview With Lagwagon
No-one quite expected a new Lagwagon record this soon, but the recent demise of former band-mate Derrick Plourde inspired the band to write a new album in just a matter of weeks.
I can imagine it was kind of a strange record for the band to make, as it was (at least partly) inspired on the tragic passing away of Derrick Plourde.
I can identify with the choice, but I believe it is the wrong choice.Time has a way of truly healing all wounds and suicide may abruptly end the victim’s pain and woes but it begins an equal amount of pain for many more that loved that person.

 Lagwagon English
All of this is clearly evident with one listen to their latest studio masterpiece, and their ninth full length, Resolve, an album dedicated almost entirely to the recent suicide of former Lagwagon drummer Derrick Plourde.
Maybe that’s the real crux of this new batch of tunes: the band is reaching back to it’s earlier sound and the time when Derrick was pounding out a break-beat behind the drums.
The theme of Resolve may be heavier than some of their previous stuff, but we all know how earnest feelings and anguish can make for the most compelling art.

Derrick and I finished a record not long before he died for Bad Astronaut and I still haven’t finished it because I’m not ready.

 Blogcritics.org: CD Review: Lagwagon - Resolve
While I can't say that this is a complete work of art, it is certainly a beautiful creation that was inspired out of a painful loss for the band when original drummer, Derrick Plourde, committed suicide in April 2005.
Songwriter Joey Cape wrote the album only a few days after Derrick's death and is, in every way, the band's musical response to the death of their friend.
An emotionally charged, heartbreaking and heartfelt album with lyrics that touch the soul and a sound that doesn't wander from your typical Lagwagon sound, which is enough to keep longtime Lagwagon fans happy.
