Tim played on the Primus recordings Suck On This, Frizzle Fry, Sailing the Seas of Cheese, Miscellaneous Debris, Pork Soda, and Tales from the Punchbowl, before leaving the band in 1996, only to rejoin in 2003 for the EP Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People and related tours.

 Tim "Herb" Alexander
Tim's main side project, formed in 1994 while Les was doing Sausage and Ler was in the Beanpole and Caca bands.
Tim became frustrated with having to handle the vocal duties, which took his attention off of drumming, as well as the challenge of being the bandleader and main songwriter (Tim apparently is also a decent guitar player, and has sat in with the band Born Naked live).
Tim's drumming is more tribal, with lots of tom beats and a looser feel than the type of stuff he would play with Primus or Laundry.

 Tim Alexander British session drummers
Tim Alexander left Primus in 1996, he was ready to move from the wacky, experimental frenzy of rhythms that had made the band a household name to a more structured rock format.
Little did Alexander realize that trying to get a rock band off the ground in today's 'do ityourself" music business is not quite as easy as sailing the seas of cheese.
Two gold records (1991's Sailing The Seas Of Cheese and 1995's Tales From The Punch Bowl) and their hugely successful 1993 release, Pork Soda (which debuted in Billboard's Top-10), established the quirky trio as a pop act with a twist.

After leaving Primus in 1996, Tim (don't call him "Herb") Alexander has reunited with bassist Les Claypool and guitarist Larry LaLonde to resurrect one of the most popular and cutting-edge rock acts of the '90s.
