As the son of longtime E Street Band drummer Max Weinberg, Jay Weinberg proved at a young age that drumming was firmly rooted in his blood. Following in the footsteps of Slipknot founding drummer Joey Jordison, Jay joined the nine in 2014 and has been blasting through world tours and full-length albums ever since. We were delighted to have Jay give us a deep dive into his current touring rig, headlined by an awesome SJC custom kit sporting his signature snare alongside a wealth of cymbals from Zildjian.

Would love to see Sweetwater do more videos like this. A series maybe 🤔

[@chriscirullo161]

Is there like an xlr jack built into the drums? Or no bottom heads?

[@beastrock1696]

i like he want to sound like Ringo Star on Slipknot. Thats pretty cool

[@jrdindiana]

That’s wild that he’s using an entry level ride cymbal in one of the largest rock bands in the world. Gotta trust your ears, not the price tag.

[@heartbeatsdrum]

So true man. Tuning on the heads too.

[@richardforbes943]

I would say 20 years says its a good cymbal

[@skullcandy5411]

[@jrdindiana]

@@richardforbes943 The S series is pretty new, do you mean that a cymbal needs to last 20 years to be good? I'm happy if I get 2 years out of every $100 i spend on a cymbal, so imo @ $200 that S ride would be a steal if it lasted 5 years, or 1 worldwide Slipknot tour.

[@DavidOakesMusic]

I love Stagg gear. I had a china cymbal which was double figures but it sounded exactly how I wanted.

Can tell he isn't a huge gear nerd. Some guys know the exact number of plies bearing edges etc and some just worry about playing more. Great drummer tho. Solid

[@foxontehrun]

Random fact: every pair of sticks is pitch paired meaning when you hit them on anything (table for example) they will give you the same sound

[@nepntzerZer]

disagree

[@Tony-fx9ky]

@@foxontehrun 🤯 They are!!🤯

[@guymanson1626]

They are the extension between you and your drums. When you set up your toms and cymbals, the distance depends on the length of the stick. If you don't get good rebound from it, it can really mess up your playing and sound. It might sound pretentious but it's so so important to get a good quality pair of sticks!

Would love to learn more on the microphones inside the drums! That's worth its own video!

[@Nilsje]

+1 😊

[@LucasWasson]

For real this should have included what mics they are using.

[@eldiablo3794]

Check Mikkey Dee's video about his mic configuration. He's been doing this for years, putting his mics inside his toms and has a video explaining it. Same with Ben Harclerode when he was with whitechapel. He's got a video talking about his internal tom mics too.

[@lukefaulkingham5233]

hi daza

[@roelkuiper9919]

In the late 80’s/early 90’s there was a company called May EA that made internal mics for drums. For some reason they never caught on with main stream performers. I remember Omar Hakim was an early endorser. I’m not sure if they’re still around.

[@rickycompton2610]

This video is over the top Sweetwater is killing it with these videos.

Man that set up is sick af

[@filsolano5465]

It’s nice to see him use his single pedals on both of his kicks. Unlike before and tons of other players who set up a double bass set up, only using one bass drum with a double bass pedal. I guess the shallower kicks truly are easier to manipulate on a live set up mix. 🍻🍻🍻

[@WishMount]

Probably the most common occurrence in todays metal bands is the double kick drums

[@wumbomaster1395]

I always thought jays cymbal choices sound weird with slipknot. I actually use A customs myself but the paiste cymbals that Joey used are so ingrained into my head

[@JamesSSWayne]

i don't like the design of paiste, and i don't perceive so ''MUCH'' difference between jay and joey's cymbals and drum kits. Its all about miking and engineering. That's why iowa have the best drum tone of all time.

@@wumbomaster1395 Joey also used zildjian early on with slipknot. Don’t get me wrong it is weird to see slipknot with no paistes bc it’s so synonymous bc of Joey. But at least instead of continuing the paiste thing, Jay is using gear and equipment he wants for himself

[@maccrazy7335]

My fav way of controlling kick drums of any sizem, is to use 2 mics. Put the inside one as close to the beating head as possible without being hit (I like a Beta 91) and put a oow cut on it at around 1500Hz. Then an outside mic about 5-10cm from the reso hèad (my fav is a Sennheiser e602) and put on a high cut at around 120Hz. Depending on drums and taste, play around with the cutoff frequencies and even the mics...
