Jay Weinberg's drum kit and setup

Documented by Drum Faster

Slipknot's drummer from 2014 to November 2023, across three albums, and the son of the E Street Band's Max Weinberg. A looser, wilder, more chaotic player than the man he replaced — deliberately so. SJC customs, Zildjian cymbals and his own Vater 908 stick.

2022 — The End, So Far

Drumeo's Drum Recording Of The Year, and the most controlled he ever sounded in the band. He was out fourteen months later; he has since played with Suicidal Tendencies and joined Infectious Grooves.

2019 — We Are Not Your Kind

The best-produced drum sound of his tenure, and the SJC kit built for this cycle is the one most people picture. Slipknot kits are as much staging as instrument.

2014 — .5: The Gray Chapter

His first Slipknot record, following Joey Jordison out of the chair. He did not attempt an impression: where Jordison was clinical and rudimental, Weinberg pushes the front of the beat and lets the fills tumble.
