Tucker Rule started his drumming career in 1997 as a founding member of the New Brunswick, New Jersey-based post-hardcore band Thursday. The band began by playing local basement shows and released their debut album, “Waiting,” in 1999 on Eyeball Records. Thursday gained wider recognition with their second album, “Full Collapse,” released in 2001 through Victory Records, which peaked at number 178 on the Billboard 200. This period was marked by successful touring, including an appearance on Warped Tour, and increased popularity that eventually led to a major label deal with Island Records in 2002.
Rule continued his work with Thursday, releasing their major-label debut, “War All the Time,” in 2003. This album was critically acclaimed and debuted at number 7 on the Billboard 200. While with Thursday, he also recorded additional albums like “A City by the Light Divided” (2006), “Common Existence” (2009) with Epitaph Records, and “No Devolución” (2011). Beyond Thursday, Rule has applied his drumming skills as a session and touring musician for various notable acts. From 2008 to 2014, he toured with My Chemical Romance to fill in for their injured drummer, and also performed with punk band Murphy’s Law from 2010 to 2013. He demonstrated his adaptability by touring with the British boy band The Wanted from 2011 to 2014, appearing on television shows such as Ellen, Dancing With the Stars, The Voice, and American Idol. From 2014 to 2015, he joined Yellowcard as their touring drummer, showcasing his versatility across different musical styles.
His session work includes contributions to Frank Iero and the Future Violents’ album, recorded by Steve Albini, and Get Involved!’s “Silk Cuts,” produced by Ross Robinson. He also drummed on All Eyes West’s “Doomer” (recorded by J. Robbins) and I Hate Our Freedom’s “This Years Best Disaster” (recorded/produced by Kurt Ballou). Rule has consistently been an endorsed artist, partnering with Q Drum Co., Zildjian (for 15 years), Vater sticks (for 6 years), REMO, JH Audio, Reflexx pads, and DW hardware.
