Owing my drum career and music fascination to Slipknot’s initial work, I thought it was important to bear a worthy mention to the drumming legend of Joey Jordison. Ferocious, formidable and horrendously evil when it came to producing drumming doubles, he will be sorely missed within the metal drumming community. Especially with his founding work with Slipknot. A band that were – and still are – one of the biggest and greatest metal band in the world.
Regardless of the downfall he may have undertook due to health issues, the sheer icon he portrayed whilst in the eyes of us on stage is overwhelming. When I first heard the news last night, I was shocked to my very core. With me thoroughly devastated and him – a sorely missed family member of the drumming community.

Nice tribute. I loved his mask the most. The whole Jesus/religious feel to it made it the most interesting for me. his playing was great as well, but the mask always drew me to him.

Yeah he was a proper captivating performer with that mask. Safe to say, it scared me a little when I watched him when I was younger.
