Joey's passing leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. He was the one who inspired me to always improve myself, I do not doubt that of anyone else interested in drums and nu metal I hope everyone is fine, regardless of the circumstances. R.I.P. Joey. We love you.

Disasterpieces is the best directed DVD live concert, ever. In any music genre. The use of "GoPro's" when GoPro was just starting out, captured the pure skill of Joey and the others. Uncomparable and way ahead of their time. There is also a live Disasterpiece recording from the crowd (probably with an ancient phone) here on youtube, which also kicks ass in its own way!

[@FIRESCREAMER1989]

That DVD was the reason I started drumming and became a huge fan of Joey jordison in 2002. Best metal concert I have seen in my life. Even to this day I miss him being a part of slipknot. Loads of love to him.

If you find the time, watch Queen Live At Wembley 86, the second night. There were no GoPros, but you have very good footage of the four of them. That's still my favourite live album ever. I've seen Slipknot live, twice, nearly 20 years ago and they're just bombastic live.

[@stoicturk1823]

[@Gomorragh]

The one thing about Joey Jordison that a lot of people dont appreciate is that he played the other instruments as well, and part of the Roadrunnuer United thing was that he got to cooperate with one of his influences, King Diamond who also plays all of the instruments, such a pair who are both understated fow the stuff the do to make sure theyre on point for thier bands and thier music.

What a great video. Joey has suffered the wrath of metal drumming 'Gatekeepers' for too long! He was my musical inspiration growing up and the best drummer i've ever seen live. I was lucky enough to see them dozens of times in the early 2000's (including the disasterpieces show), I have a tattoo of him on my arm, i have a signed mask, multiple photos with him and even some Ahead drumsticks that he gave me on the Iowa touring cycle. Its a real shame he's not really in the scene anymore, as there were some incredible drum parts in the work he did with Sinsaenum.

[@nicholi2789]

I remember watching that roadrunner dvd when it came out. That short segment of Joey’s inspired me for years trying to play drum warm up perfectly.

[@Jackula_Gaming]

Loved the breakdown! I think something to note as well, I feel that when analyzing something like the hand position on the crash from a trained players perspective, it sounds like you're implying it was a conscious decision to look more "aggressive" only. Where as I think like many drummers out there, what is done is not always the most efficient, however let us remember that drums are also a form of expressive movement, therefore if you're getting into the music this much like he did along the whole band, then it makes sense that he's really digging into it, and that's just how he felt and learned to do it. And then of course the result of that is an aggressive "look". Much like if you get angry, you don't consciously decide to look angry. But with how drummers are trained to work out bad habits (even if you feel like you play better doing it), I'm not surprised you and many others came to it from that angle. Like it must of been conscious to get the look across because "normally" drummers play like this. It's always a little nerdy thing drummers like to get into I find, like is it french grip ect... I could be wrong of course, he might of planned that movement into his playing, but I feel it would of just been one of those things you form with the music and how you like to play, especially if he wasn't getting regular lessons from a traditional player trying to train that quirk out of him. Great video though! Brann Dailor is another drummer you should look at if you haven't already, he does a lot of similar unconventional movements and hits the cymbals so hard with crazy whipping motions to match the power and intensity of the music, he's got some crazy movements.

It annoys me that he never addresses his whip strikes.
