[@victorbicudo1374]

qual é o sentimento de ser mãe do melhor baterista da história do heavy metal?

[@XeRo333]

The first and biggest thing I noticed once I heard Eloy play with Slipknot is that he really enphasizes and respects Joey's parts while respectfully adding his own style to it too. Eloy is the perfect fit for Slipknot🤘🏼

[@GuitarBeard]

Emphasizes Joey’s parts is a great way to put it. Joey had a lot of genius subtle things he did and Eloy plays those subtle things like he’s trying to break the drums

[@Marta1Buck]

@@GuitarBeard idk what the drums did wrong to him

[@AlexSomething-l9p]

​@@GuitarBeardthere's no subtle things in Joey's drumming. He's not D.Weckl, V.Colaiuta, B.Rich. Joey wasn't a genius at all. Talented, but not a genius.

[@Exhausted-resource]

@@AlexSomething-l9phere comes all of the fan boys to attack you, you are absolutely right but people don’t understand that Joey was a good metal drummer, not a drumming god by any means, and the jay fan boys think he’s the best to ever play the drums, neither of them could keep up with Buddy rich, and they themselves would admit it.

[@fourseven6202]

He literally saved Slipknot imho..

[@justinlea8045]

Eloy is such a bad ass! Love that he gave a shout out to both Joey and Jay who played before him, much respect!!

[@Gymrat519]

Joey is still the best out of the 3. JMO

[@PHNX-ls5bt]

Waiting for Modern Drummer to do a rig rundown on his new Slipknot kit.

[@TunnelJumper]

Yes please! I just want to know what’s up with the kick situation. There’s an aerial shot of a double pedal hooked up to one drum-but then shots of cables running into multiple AND a Yamaha EAD in a pear tree. I’m so confused.

[@VileSinner666]

​@TunnelJumper That's what really bothers me about Eloy in Slipknot. Just use the two bass drums dude. You can afford another single pedal.

[@millerbeer01]

@@VileSinner666🙄

[@VileSinner666]

@@millerbeer01 Am I wrong? You don't see Dave Lombardo doing that. Even Jay Weinberg didn't do that when he was in Slipknot.

[@millerbeer01]

@ @ But why let that bother you? Dude has been an absolute beast of a drummer since he was in his teens, he doing Joeys drum parts justice and he's breathed new life into the band. Just enjoy the music.

[@ahmedakifrahman]

Since the time Eloy joined Slipknot , the band got reinvigorated onto a whole new level . That’s probably the best thing to ever happen to that band since Joey’s and Paul’s demise . Eloy’s technicality is absolutely unparalleled from day 1 since those days when he was even playing with Andre Matos , Gloria and even Iahweh and also changed the game too for Sepultura and now he’s playing with one of the biggest metal bands on earth . Absolutely well deserved , and to me - Eloy is the only person to do massive justice to the legacy of Joey . 👊🏻🙏🏻🔥

[@RafitoOoO]

I'm sure the band saw how Eloy reinvigorated Sepultura and wanted some of that juice for them too haha.

[@davidflood]

The combination of mastery and humility makes me happy for Eloy and all the people he's is and going to inspire. Cant wait for new songs with his arrangements.

[@LeeVenters]

He’s a perfect fit it seems. A seriously physical beast of a player … respect!!!

[@ericmulerometaldrummer]

First time I saw Eloy play was with Sepultura @ the Aztec Theater in San Antonio and was completely blown away. I've always loved heavy hitters, and he not only hit the drums like Mike Tyson, but he did it with such precision and musicality that it just blew me away. Congratulations on your success. 🤘🏽🥁🤘🏽

[@slowdawnphmusic]

Mentioning Joey & Jay.. You got my respect dude. 👊

[@ahow-1]

I like how Eloy manages to be so humble and respectful, even while being among the best in the world❤

[@Lemordison92]

The best pick since the legendary joey jordison era.

[@razorrawb]

It's so awesome to see how humble, hardworking and determined Eloy is! I love that is carrying on joey and even Jay's legacy. That is cool! ❤

[@M4RCM0NT31R0]

Eloy is the G.O.A.T

[@welldelara]

Letting brazilian musicians add their flavour into the compositions and songs is the best thing a metal genre can do, to add valor to the songs. We saw this with Kiko Loureiro (also played with André Matos on Angra) on Megadeth and can see it now with Eloy on Slipknot. Brazilian music background is very rich and can increment in very interesting ways, the songs just go to another level of appreciation

[@mattwenger5667]

Just a great dude!! As quality of a human as he is a drummer. The world needs more positive male role models..and I’m not certain it gets better than a humble, in shape, positive professional playing for arguably the most brutal metal band. Thanks Eloy..now go fukin crush it!!

[@rbraghetto]

The man, the myth, the legend. Congrats Eloy!!!

[@SKARKIBANEZ]

legend........???????? 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 WAKE UP KIDDO legend is lombardo cavalera etc Eloy is too small to be legend GREAT drummer BUT not A FCNK legend -_-

[@TheNineNews_]

Eloy é um ser humano fantástico, orgulho do Brasil!

[@Gas-Stn-Sushi]

Eloy is not good because he’s Brazilian. He’s good because he’s Eloy. You guys have got to stop acting like the country of Brazil itself is playing drums for Slipknot 😂

[@osm1718]

Bro's so humble as he wasn't the drummer of Sepultura

[@suggoz]

I am not a super Slipknot fan but i'm really glad for the band that they got Eloy.

[@Jeremy-z1p1t]

He’s super smart and very intellectual. He’s definitely got a strong mental game for this business.

[@stanfordkoch1271]

Never knew Andre Matos died a few years ago, its the Angra singer right?

[@PromarkDrumsticks]

Yes, Angra was one of Andre's many different projects

[@leonardocsantos4651]

Andre had a keen eye for talent. He introduced the world to the future drummer of Slipknot and the guitarist of Megadeth. As a Brazilian, it's unfortunate that the global metal community isn’t more familiar with Brazilian metal musicians. For instance, Bruno Valverde, the current drummer for Angra, stepped in for Eloy when Eloy broke his leg. Eloy chose Bruno to complete Sepultura's North American tour, and Bruno had only hours to learn their entire set - and he nailed it.

[@RafitoOoO]

It was a tragedy, he was in his early 50's still. Too young to die.

[@TC-lk2ev]

@@leonardocsantos4651 Bruno is a effing monster too. I remember watching his videos years ago and being blown away.

[@Francisqueti]

Muito legal ver o Eloy dando o valor devido ao nosso André Matos. O maestro tinha o felling para o talento mesmo. Temos o maior baterista de metal do mundo atualmente, graças a abertura de porta que ele proporcionou.

[@stang892k5]

It’s a double edged sword, Eloy joined arguably the most successful modern metal band and Sepultura lost arguably one of the best modern metal drummers.I appreciate Eloy how he carries himself as a musician, he has such a love for music as a whole, he pours his heart and soul into the drums with such passion and ferocity no matter the sound or genre .Not to take away from any drummer out there but there’s just something different about Eloy…the dude is amongst the greats

[@mr.timebombman2230]

Slipknot was hanging it up anyway. They just got a great drummer to finish it out, so they're fine.

[@rafaelricharddd]

You are a living legend my friend 👏👏👏

[@anthonycart3r]

It won’t be a popular opinion. But to do what he does on Joey’s parts, while making them his own and just crushing it on EVERYTHING! 3rd Time’s a Charm, Folks. He’s my favorite Slipknot drummer, period!

[@SunnyHF-nf4bc]

6:48 Even a seasoned pro like Casagrande can still succumb to jitters from a new experience.

[@leonardocsantos4651]

It’s absolutely insane when you think about it! Imagine being a massive Slipknot fan, probably never even met some of the members before. One day, you're just in Brazil, and the next, you're not only seeing all of them at the same time in person, but actually PLAYING WITH THEM UNMASKED! Picture Corey Taylor singing right in front of you, without his mask!!! And then, as if that wasn’t enough, you're actually playing alongside him. Unreal!

[@fergocarvalho]

Se postou BR é pq querem comentários de BRs. E aqui estamos. Eloy já é uma lenda vida!

Superb interview! Thank you very much

[@TheDeepKnowledge]

I was one of those lucky dudes that had the opportunity to bump Eloy. He was called to play in 2014 at my high school at our culture events. I remember, after all those kids left, me and him taking a photo and saying some random things that i cant record, but he was such a simple and humble person, he cared about listening the fans. Almost 10 years later he is on the way to become a freaking legend. What a great time to be alive.

Dude is young compared to SlipKnot members, I understand why he would jump at the opportunity to tour with them. Professionally, it's an opportunity of a lifetime after Sepultura especially if SlipKnot is going back to their roots (bloody) roots. Casagrande is the man of the situation.

Sempre gostei da Bateria e percussão 🥁 do Slipknot, (além do visual claro) me lembro de baixar fotos da banda para colocar como wallpaper, depois emprestar o disquete 💾 para amigos da escola, eu nunca fui um rockeiro hardcore mas tinha um certo respeito, pois se vc queria colocar imagens de Slipknot ou Iron Maiden na tela do seu Windows 98 eu era o cara certo kkkkkk comecei a gostar de bateria desde então (na época tocava samba com pandeiro e tantan) mas o q Joey fazia .... e agora vê o Eloy colocando tantas técnicas em um nível... The Beast 🇧🇷

[@justinreynolds3935]

I made a bet with my buddy that Eloy would be the new guy in SK. He also is a drummer and he said I don't know that is. I was like bro that's the thing a lot of people don't but they will. Well I collected my $10 bet. lol. He was like how the hell dis you know that??? I told him I've watched Eloy play side stage and the guy is a an absolute monster player. He's one of not the best metal players around right now. I've never seen a metal player hit so hard in my life man. If you watch his left hand he almost lets go of the stick and whips it down. I've also never seen someone break sticks like him. lol. I am so so happy for him. He deserves it.
