There are at least 2 bands by this name.

1) Drowning Pool is a hard rock/nu metal band from Dallas, Texas that rose to prominence while playing along with Ozzy Osbourne during Ozzfest. Their 2001 debut album, Sinner, was certified platinum within six months and the video for its first single “Bodies” was frequently aired on various music video channels. After the September 11th attacks the song “Bodies” was infrequently heard on many radio stations due to the sensitivity of those families’ loved ones who jumped from the towers. In August 2002 the lead singer of the band, Dave Williams, died in his tour bus of heart failure.

After Williams’ death, the band decided to carry on and began searching for a new singer. Kelly Schaefer of Neurotica tried out but failed. Ben Schiegel of Sw1tched said he was turned down, but the band denied that report. The band asked Machine Head vocalist Robert Flynn if he wanted to join, but he politely declined, not being a fan of Drowning Pool to begin with. Rob Zombie contributed vocals to their song “The Man Without Fear”, from the Daredevil soundtrack, but he was never in line to be their new vocalist.

In 2003, the band found a new singer in Jason ‘Gong’ Jones who took place of Dave Williams in the wake of his untimely death. They released the album Desensitized in 2004.

Jason’s departure from Drowning Pool was publically announced on June 14, 2005, due to irreconcilable differences. Jones would later join the christian rock band A.M. Conspiracy.
