Instead of comparing Joey and Jay can we all just agree that they are both great fucking drummers.

[scrubbingbubbles]

I love it how Jay’s just playing the drums and then you can just see Chris just spinning in circles 😂😂 3:39

[kylecrow]

Not a huge fan of metal or slip knot but God damn I respect metal musicians! The amount of endurance needed is insane!

[Satan-nwlv]

Fans: You have big shoes to fill to replace Joey.

Jay: I'll make my own shoes.

[jgreymd]

Can we just stop comparing jay to joey. Both has amazing talent. Just enjoy the vid.

[beaulong]

In my opinion Joey Jordison could never be replaced from Slipknot, but if there is a close second it's definitely Jay Weinberg, he's had huge shoes to fill and done a hell of a job of making it his own. Definitely a unique drummer.

[Frakymetl]

Jay is so cool, the Hi Hat pedal moves by itself.

[TheDefeatest]

Just imagine the calories that man just burnt up! Drumming is hard work, nothing like it.

[fastfiddler]

It's amazing how straight a face he can keep while doing all that...

[MrDLB]

Never listened to metal drumming before. This is insane! This dude has crazy endurance. Id be passed out some where.

[BonBonz]

There's just something about AOV that gets me going.

[derekmotta]

His hi hat pedal might as well be in the next room...

[AndresCruz-mbir]

Drummers have my respect man, I don't see how y'all don't get tired with all the fast pace.

[Leo-ingt]

My feet started cramping up just watching this. Mad respect for drummers, man.

[fanforlife]

To anyone that give Jay shit its unwarranted, he's done a good job, he track solid drums on a really good album and I can say from experience cause I saw them live in Vegas in August and everything sounded as it should have, much respect to this guy

Jay has gotten better over time and really filled the role nicely, and this is coming from a HUGE Joey Jordison fan. Some people hate on this guy as if he's at fault for Joey's illness at the time and eventual departure from the band, while in reality, Jay speaks about his admiration for Joey every opportunity he gets. Jay's biggest flaw in the beginning was that he was trying too hard to mimic Joey to the point that his playing felt a little forced and unauthentic, but now that he is more comfortable at his position and the guys were allowing him to have creative input, he grew into his own quite well. His mid tempo double bass kicks have always felt a little sloppy at times, but as Scott Travis of Judas Priest said, "maintaining the proper speed of a mid paced double kick pattern without letting a foot drag one time which fucks the whole groove up is actually more difficult than the super fast stuff. I know when I'm doing 32nd beats and stuff, as long as my stamina is with me, there isn't much opportunity for a broken pattern, where as the mid paced stuff tends to require constant focus without any over thinking. That's probably what I've practiced the most when by myself." Jay was flawless when I saw Slipknot over two months ago, so he clearly progressed well in that department. What more could you ask for? Give the guy a break, stepping in to play drums for Slipknot is NOT an easy task.
