Question: When was the person born who Freese took over drums for in 2003 on the album Splinter? Passage:Freese was the session drummer on the 2003 album Fallen by Evanescence and on the Acroma album released on Universal Records. He has drummed for A Perfect Circle since their first album, and is considered one of the core members. As of 2006, the band is on hiatus. Since then, founder Billy Howerdel has started up a new band (Ashes Divide) with drums contributed by Freese. Freese took over from drummer Ron Welty for the recording of the Offspring's 2003 album Splinter after Welty's departure from the band. He is credited for playing drums on the album, but Atom Willard later took on the position as the band's full-time drummer. In July 2007, it was announced Atom Willard had left the band. He would be replaced by Pete Parada. In the meantime, Freese was called upon to record the new Offspring album, Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace. In January 2011, he mentioned on his website that he was working with the Offspring again on their next album Days Go By.

question:
Question: What year was the club that Lisney made a single appearance in founded? Passage:Lisney made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the Surrey Club against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Lord's in 1853. In a match which the MCC won by 66 runs, Lisney took five wickets in the MCC first-innings, finishing with figures of 5/33 from twenty overs. In the Surrey Club first-innings, Lisney was last man out when he was run out for 3 runs. He then proceeded to take three wickets in the MCC second-innings, but his exact figures in this innings are unknown due to an incomplete scorecard. In the Surrey Club second-innings, he was again last man out, this time dismissed for a duck by Thomas Nixon. He later stood as an umpire in the return fixture between the two sides in July 1853 at The Oval, before standing in a match between Surrey and Kent later in the season.
