Drum Teacher Reacts: ELOY CASAGRANDE | SLIPKNOT - 'People = S**t' live!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Weight. Power. Chops. This is what world class sounds like. Check out my Slipknot playlist | kzbin.info/aero/PLqspKksRqaUXeKiJjpzIdZS6fXmepqiw-&feature=shared

[@angelo.shiraishi]

You have to watch Eloy's shorts on youtube, they put a drum cam and a mic in the kit. Sounds very good.

[@One0fthenine]

Corey is finally sounding like he's in Slipknot again

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

He sounds great

[@Galluu_]

During the drum solo, Eloy stayed damn near on tempo at 120-122bpm, but when the whole band joins back in he slowed it down to (IIRC) 108-110bpm. The studio version stays roughly 120bpm. IMO, the slowing of the tempo just 10 bpm made it SOOOO much heavier. Just brutal. Eloy is a perfect fit for Slipknot and a phenom himself. He EARNED his way every step and DESERVES every bit of his success for all of his hard work and dedication.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I like tempo movement to go with the adrenalin of the song

[@emaildannymartin]

I heard that too on my first listen. Sounds like BEASTMODE!

[@KBWarrioR2018]

Who are you?! You could tell all that just hearing it?!!

[@abrielrobertsson4160]

The drumming is so close to the album version (even better). So clean, so full of energy, so technical, tempo is precise af. They got one of the, if not the best modern metal drummer out there today. Can't go wrong with him.

[@Jalabhar_Xho]

I don't really know a lot about drumming, but imo the only two guys around who are at about the same level as Eloy are Gojira's Mario Duplantier and Meshuggah's Thomas Haake

I actually got teary-eyed hearing Eloy nail every single note in that mini-solo. Joey Jordison has been one of my personal drummer gods since I was a teenager. I just can't believe Eloy has achieved a perfect "cover" of this song. A genuine tribute to Joey's spirit and a gift to remind us of what he gave us.

[@user-tf4ho2uo1e]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums at the end of the day, even though these musicians are wearing masks and jumpsuits and it's outwardly "aggressive" music, there is something truly deeply beautiful happening underneath it all. A beautiful striving to communicate, to relate, to achieve something unrivaled. Joey did that, and I think Eloy is as well

[@dakotamontoya4831]

This is how they started the show, it was fucking unbelievable being there last week in person with such a small crowd, they sounded incredible in such a small venue with Eloy!

Estepario was so right about Eloy joining Slipknot and i love the power! He's chopping lol

[@LewisGale]

I've been making some isolated drum tracks from this gig, and can say without a doubt 1- Defo not on click, you can hear the way the tempo ramps up on the intro. 2- I use triggers I can also tell that Eloy doesn't, volume backs off ever so slightly when he goes into heel-toe. Still sounds incredible, all natural, not artificially boosted volumes like you'd have with triggers.

[@rol0511]

I may be wrong but I don't thing he uses the heel/toe technique, just pure singles.

I was ticket holder number 1 for this show. It was amazing! Eloy brought it and sounded so tight and I'm a metal drummer myself. Couldn't believe it was 9 dollars. And from what I hear no Eloy doesn't use a click. Anyway great video 👍

[@thehawk05]

It’s true. I believe he mentioned that fact in the video he did for Drumeo. I believe he said tempos in metal drumming will vary and flow for numerous reasons such as the energy/excitement level of the band, etc……sometimes you’ll play a bit faster or slower.

[@ryanhill9570]

@@thehawk05 Right. That's why I don't play with a click. I feel like it keeps it more organic. And if ur a good drummer it can be done well and gives the band more freedom when playing live at least.

@@Vichtmc Huh? You guys realize Eloy is playing his bass drums before and after that part too, right? So before this part his bass drums are lost in the recording quality, they become alive for the part where both percussionists join and then Eloy's bass drums go silent again? Its Crahan's percussion which are literally infront of the camera. Watch the same just from the other side /watch?v=oS5uEaWG83M&t=153s and then 4:13 in the same video, which is another heavy bass drum part where you cleary hear just Eloy.

I'm a guitarist...so drummers...don't mock me here...but I LOVE when the double kicks sound like thunder instead the clicky sound (not heavy, just super fast). This video is a good example of the "thunder." It sounds absolutely massive. When they do new material, I hope they can capture how ferocious this sounds in the studio. And Mick and Jim look like they are absolutely loving this...great stuff.

Everyone has been talking a lot about Eloy's genius. But it's good to remember, as Eloy himself humbly does, the meaning of Isaac Newton's famous phrase: "If I saw further it was because I stood on the shoulders of giants". Joey, wherever he is, is proud of the path he blazed, and how well represented he is today.

[@Skeware]

Yes, that crazy huge fill was invented by Joey Jordison. With Slipknot he made 4 albums of greatness, for anyone who's passionate about drums definitely check them out. Plus, consider that Joey Jordison was a multi-instrumentalist and also contributed with guitar ideas and arrangements on the albums, which complement his drumming ideas and definitely elevated Slipknot music imensely. To me and for many other drummers, Eloy Casagrande included, Joey was one of the biggest inspirations, and I'd risk say that meteoric rise imediately after self-tittled in 1999 was due to that crazy drum sound. With that being said, yes, Eloy is a great fit for Slipknot and sounds faithfull to the source material, which is a pleasure to be alive and witness.

[@PatstarDeluxe]

I remember their debut coming out and all of my mates loved it, including drummers and guitarists among those friends, and all anyone could talk about was the drums. They were just something else

Yeah, Im glad Eloy is the new drummer. I feel its now worth watching them live again. But a lot of fans and KZbinrs seem to have developed amnesia all of the sudden. Reacting to songs like this with Eloy as if they never heard anything like that before. I mean if they started listening to Slipknot back when they had Jay then I guess it makes sense but when I see Eloys performance Im reminded of the shows I saw back in 1999-2004 with Joey. The same level of speed and power plus adding his crazy headbanging and stick tricks. It was always a thrill to watch.

[@klausbremner_autotelic_art]

People were saying that he was playing to a click, because of the footage showing the metronome. But, he is just referencing the metronome app at the start of songs to get a feel for the tempo. He's definitely not playing to a click on the tracks where the guitar starts the song. Because the guitar is setting the tempo and neither guitarist is wearing in ear monitors. Craig Reynolds also knows some of the guys in Slipknot and has confirmed that the band definitely don't use a click. It's possible that Eloy is playing to a click on some of the tracks he starts the song though, because he has an in ear monitor on. Could just be that he likes to hear the other instruments clearly though. He's also not using triggers and the full sounding bass drums sound awesome.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

No click needed with Eloy. Nice for it to breathe anyway

[@mattgraham2835]

eloy has four bass drums there you see that holy smokes and he sounds beasty

[@jimperium77]

Slipknot have finally rediscovered the power behind the drums they've been lacking. Jay Weinberg did a great job (I loved what he did on “Chapter 5”) but in concert he played without a “click” and you could hear it, he often made mistakes and was sometimes far from the original. If you compare the track “Psychosocial” played live with Jay and Eloy here, it's incomparable in terms of precision and heaviness. I think all the songs on this concert with Eloy are played with a click, it's obvious or they worked a lot with Eloy. They're all hyper-precise throughout the concert....I can't wait to hear what Eloy does on the next album. Eloy pushed Sepultura to the top (just listen to “Quadra” for proof), so imagine what it could be like with Slipknot!
