Guitar Center Presents: Max & Jay Weinberg

[@nescaudrummer]

Dad plays jazz, son plays metal... So poetic

[@ivanbenkobergera5691]

Dad plays rock with the E Steet Band.

[@tomloeper8933]

@@ivanbenkobergera5691 He may play rock music, but Max is definitely a jazz drummer.

[@ivanbenkobergera5691]

@@tomloeper8933 he has said on more than one occasion that he is a rock drummer. He has also played rock all his life. Another thing is that he is a musician who competently plays anything and ... loves jazz. In addition, his great reference was Buddy Rich, so it is normal to see characteristics of jazz, but in rock.

[@saulvaquero6177]

He is first a drummer and a musician (forget about styles and labels). First you must learn to play the instrument (execution technique, reading, rhythm, tempo, dynamics, improvisation, ...) then the repertoire comes, which must include different styles and rhythms (jazz, blues, soul, funk, rock, Afro Latin Grooves, etc), to enrich you, have tools, and ultimately become a versatile musician capable of facing any musical context. Young people who like rock and metal and start playing the drums or any other instrument, do not worry about learning to play the instrument first or to be musicians (a very superior word), they only want to play rock songs and metal, they do not follow a logical progression.

I grew up watching Max Weinberg from the Conan O'Brien show. And i am surprised to found out that his son is the current drummer of Slipknot. Damn. Like father like son.

[@dannnnny86]

I remember an episode of Conan where Conan asked Max what he did over the weekend. And Max answered that he went to Ozzfest with his son, I believe, and mentioned the bands Mastodon and Lamb of God. Conan burst into laughter like "wtf are those band names".

Didn't really find much except the chick lead singer of his last band talking some shit and then say she was kidding. Then said a couple of hypothetical stories that I guess she is saying happened, but I guess to not get into a bunch of legal shit said never happened. None of the stories were that bad I mean maybe a bit egotistical but he is the son of a famous drummer for one of the biggest bands ever. I don't think it sounds like he is some guy who is just completely ridiculous and impossible to deal with. I'm sure if he was he wouldn't have lasted this long in slipknot

Jay really kicked ass on the last Slipknot record though. A Grade drumming for sure. So much power.

Well Jay actually didn't play on The Gray Chapter.. it was all Clown who did the drums, they weren't part of the band just yet and Corey and the guys felt more comportable to do the stuff themselves

[@KZfr]

I thought that said horrible at first

[@cra2cra226]

Yeah, Max is being a sweet dad but his precision, stick control and dynamics are something you can hear Jay doesn't have. On the flip side, if Max hasn't studied his blast-beats or double-bass marches, then Jay's got him licked there.

"We'll add more later."

[@iammetal7635]

such a great dad. definitely a factor to Jay's success.

[@saltykrug]

I've always liked Max's drumming but his playing here was even more off of the chain. He's damned good. Jay is a killer rock drummer. My oldest son is wanting my kit setup so he can start playing. I have to clean out the storage building so he can wood shed in the storage shed. I'm looking forward to it so we can enjoy this part of our relationship.

[@coasternut3091]

I love that Max didn't make him learn his style. He knows that you can be a great drummer in several different styles. Also, the look on Jay's face when Max is talking about his accomplishments is adorable

[@markjames8664]

I get choked up watching them here-they have such a deep connection. Many great musicians have respect for other greats, regardless of genre.

[@Flintster56]

I so love the father/son thing. Kinda taught my son to play guitar. However he quickly caught on and moved WAY ahead of me. Now i've been playing drums for 50 years,so as he grew up he wanted to play drums too. So i bought him an electronic kit for his 22nd birthday. Now he's 23 and i'm 63. I haven't heard him play yet. (Pa,FL) but i'm sure he's awesome as well. Love this shit!!!

[@prs149]

My dad and I are 4 generation worth of guitarists from Great GrandFather/dad/sons/cousins/nefew(2) at Least around 12?

[@KOOLEE88]

What an amazing story. Mine was that my father played around me for a couple years at somepoint but would never let us touch his drums.... He hasn't drummed since then and I have grown into a man that continues to share and grow my passions with everyone around me.

[@ollinayato]

You don't have to be a musician to enjoy this video. Seeing father and son, knowing their journeys and seeing their success is truly amazing. Max seems like an awesome Dad to let his son carve his own way and support him at every step. You can appreciate the fact he doesn't live in his fathers shadow and continues to excel. Any father wants more than anything than to see their boy become something greater than they ever dreamed. My son is still young but i want to be able to back him as he becomes the man he is meant to be. On the other hand, when it comes to music, my daughter is aspiring to be a, in her words, a "metal goddess". Tears of pride, my friends. Tears of pride.

[@yourdudekarl]

Love to see Max so proud of Jay's accomplishments, that's the love of a Father to his son. So much love oozing into the recording room. I have a 4-year-old son and he plays way beyond his years. I hope he's going to be a successful drummer than me. Like these Father & Son Combo of Weinberg's! You rock!

[@bertvervoort7976]

Saw Jay filling in for Max on a live video and he did awesome. Watching Jay playing the drums on Badlands was incredible.

[@dand2760]

I think as parents we always want to see our children do well in whatever path they take. If it’s the same path, we want to see them do better than us that way we can revel in their accomplishments...then we take a little pride in knowing that we planted a few good seeds. A mutual respect here..the son is grateful for his father’s influence, the father is proud of what has turned out well for his son.
