"We now have to write music worth of Eloy's playing" -Jim Root

[@aleksandarradovanovic8496]

I love Jim but that's just crap statement. Jay was fire and was able to play everything Joey did and more. What, Jay's playing wasn't worth of writing elevated material? Bullshit.

[@ragrapios]

​@aleksandarradovanovic8496 Tell me just one song that can even compare drumming with Joey era. FYI Unsainted was any school band can imagine.

[@CrashAzarel]

@@aleksandarradovanovic8496 Jay is nowhere near the skills of Eloy if you follow Eloy's work on Sepultura recently aswell as his Jazz/Fusion and Prog music stuff. Plays all tempos, not only 4/4's, uses ghost notes, swivell, doesnt need to use triggers, hits hard af, actually keeps temp instead of rushing every song... The list goes on. It's very factual that Eloy is far more talented and skilled than Jay. You can prefer Jay because music will always be subjective, but from a purelly ''how good he is'' Eloy is easilly ahead.

[@lordskysixss]

@@aleksandarradovanovic8496 there's a difference in PLAYING someone else's composition and composing yourself. Judgind by what Eloy did in Sepultura (talking about the 3 albums he recorded with them), Slipknot just leveled up by having Eloy onboard. I like jay btw, but he's not at the same level of Eloy, if you think he is, sorry you just don't know enough about drumming to see the huge gap.

[@morganmorgan-morgan2582]

Jim’s right. Joey was a legend and creative in his own way. Eloy brings amazing potential to new material - I’m looking forward to hearing it!

[@tw19771]

@@DuragJones Who's ripping on Eloy though? Everything like EVERYTHING I've ever read about him being in this band has been "Ermahgerd!! He is the best drummer since the history of heavy metal and rock n' roll!!!" The thing is nobody ever talked him up like that when he was in Sepultura, I think everyone knew when he was in Sepultura that he was a very good and solid drummer, and he is. But since Slipknot, its just been gushing about how he is this next level drummer that no one else compares to. And its pretty weird to see the amount of praise for him. Just strange, and these people throwing shade is like some mythical internet troll I've yet to see in the wild.

[@MenaceToBonelab]

I don’t know how great he is; however, I just know he is going to be great

[@Timetofly8888]

​@AngryMetaIhead rest assured, he was already great loooong before slipknot. YT search his Slipknot play throughs, nobody played them with as much power and class as Eloy, Joey or Jay, not even close. Check out studio sessions for Sepultura, Quadra on YT with him tracking and writing drum parts. He would have to be well within one of the most talented drummers in metal, rarely talking about, in the last 15 years, absolutely no question. If anything Joey's or Jay's shoes will be a little tight on him.

[@radiocontrole]

​@tw19771 he's the best for years now, you're the one that just found out about him. You can go and check Steparios talking how's he's the best metal drummer in the world 2 years ago!!

[@gustavobuquera]

Well after Jim Root said that he feels his love for playing guitar came back after seeing Eloy's love for drumming, i think there's nothing else needed to be said. He fit the band, he added energy, everyone of them is loving it and you can see it.

[@themechaniacal1558]

Holy crap, at 14, I was just learning how to whack it properly. Eloy is an absolute technical boss on drums, but he also plays with heart. That is truly rare.

People hating on Eloy are those who just hate everything or anyone. The fandom of Slipknot is “Slipknot died when Paul died, when they fired Joey, when they fired Chris, when Craig left, and when Jay was fired! They’re not the same.” Look I was angry when Jay was fired too but now i understand why he was let go. Eloy is an amazing drummer!

[@mediumvillain]

I think he was mostly using it as a framing device for the video bc frankly I havent seen much Eloy hate practically anywhere. You can find people being shitty about anything if you look hard enough I guess but it's not really common. I have seen plenty of hyped up Eloy fans being shitty about Jay though--and even Joey, e.g. I have literally seen more people using Eloy to shittalk a deceased drumming legend than I've seen people talking shit about Eloy joining Slipknot.

[@LaCorbata]

We Maggots are Blessed with 3 of the greatest metal drummers of all time Joy, Jay and Eloy. we are spoiled. ❤ People are complaining about everything and everywhere, Slipknot has never left and won't leave. And my guys are OP and On Fire right now 😎🔥💪…. Sometimes things change and that’s it purity. I love every single one of them the old members and the news cuz they help me every single day with music 🎵…

@@mediumvillain These dudes shit talking jay and Joey arent even metal fans, the news of Eloy joining reached mainstream media here on Brazil, a lot, and i mean A LOT of unhinged clueless people hopped into the bandwagon of hyping the guy. The dude's good, top of the line on his craft, but Jay was fine, Joey was on another level with all the drum lines he wrote, theres no way you can compare Joey and Eloy if you're a slipknot fan at all, thats heresy. I doubt even Eloy likes the comparisons, dudes very modest about his skills and doesnt have an inflated ego like these dipshits online.

@@Bramble20322 Yeah, I could tell, a lot of it was in Portugese and absolutely over the top disrespectful shittalking aimed at Jay & Joey. Definitely not something Eloy would cosign.

It’s crazy. Never thought I’d see Grayson outside of jazz then he’s playing for suicidal. Eloy leaves on of my favorite bands to go to another favorite band and Grayson joins sepultura die the farewell tour. And I think I saw jay has been playing with suicidal

[@AwakenedWookie]

I was on a tour with my old band back in 2011. Sepultura and Exodus were the headliners. Sepultura turned up with this 20 something year old kid playing drums. This was his first show and concurrent tour with the band. It was a festival. Immediately after that set, all anyone on this tour and in the crowd could talk about was Sepultura's new drummer, which of course was Eloy. Every night of that tour (which was 31 shows in 31 days across Europe and Scandinavia ), the other drummers who were on this tour would be watching this kid go from behind his kit. Myself ( who is mediocre at best 😂), Tom hunting, Nick Barker, VAAVER and all our techs and crew would be watching with our jaws on the floor. Every show. He was an animal and played drums like none of us had ever seen. Bottom line, Slipknot is lucky to have such a raw, powerful talent in their ranks and i hope they utilize it well. Eloy is a great guy and one of the best drummers to ever play in the metal realm. Ask anyone who knows 🤘

[@strycomarcin2829]

This was the thrashfest classics tour right? Saw it in Slovakia, Eloy shocked everyone in the audience, an animal

Eloy is a powerhouse. Dude plays in tempo, with incredible strength, nuance, and does all his footwork without the use of triggers. Slipknot hasn't sounded this good in YEARS. He ties the band together perfectly.

[@retrayal4642]

Triggers just add production value, doesn’t help you play better

[@nikiktwotwo4470]

​​@@retrayal4642it actually helps. If every single kick sounds perfectly loud even if you softly touch it... It covers your lacking skills. Even though that doesn't sound organic at all. I mean, when you are trying to play really fast, triggers is basically cheating. If the song is not played that fast, it doesn't really matter.

For me, the most special part of Eloy's work is that He studied a lot of Brazilian rhythms with really good teachers and now he has this groove and perfect tempo because most old Brazilian music DONT' USE the metronome, the flow and the tempo that he brings into Metal is a delight.

[@MrJHate]

I'm with you dude. 100% stoked. I was bummed about Jay like a lot of people, but I'm anxious to hear what happens with Eloy. Apparently they already recorded a song with him. Seeing the post his wife put up about his journey was pretty touching for me.

Unfortunately you used the comma incorrectly. 😂

I remember seeing Eloy on TV, live, when he was 11 (I think) and immediately talking to my drummer friends about him. We knew we'd be big, but the level he's at is so above what we thought he'd get to. He deserves everything he's getting. Dude's not just an amazing drummer, but also an amazing person.

[@charlespeter5610]

I think that Slipknot picked him specifically because his drumming style meshes really well with the grooves that Slipknot have previously played. Especially when you consider their two percussionists and the reason that they are there in the first place. His tom fills fit perfectly

[@EversonBernardes]

It will be interesting to hear the new compositions with him on the drums. Eloy has a pretty strong base in brazilian and afro-latin drumming, his stuff tends to be quirky but super groovy as a result, with interesting syncopations. He also tends to do a lot of back-and-forth phrasing with other instruments, and that will be super cool with the percussion stuff Slipknot has.

[@Droxcy]

Went to the Pappy's show & Sick New World. Dude is fucking incredible us Slipknot fans are lucky to have him light a spark under slipknot's ass again.

[@davidriddick82]

Eloy is a machine and amazing!! This chapter of Slipknot will Eloy will be legendary. It’s even really cool to hear from people like Jim Root on Tone Talk, say that Eloy is a humble person who wants to honor the legacy of Joey and how also he’s so passionate about his craft that it makes the other members in the band re ignite their passions… which is credit to him and his amazing talents too

The Eloy era has begun and has brought new life! Just never was a big Jay fan but respect him though still. Eloy by far is the most precise and technical drummer while being the hardest hitter I've ever seen and that's a VERY rare combination!

I've known of him for a good while, known some of his insane work, including Slipknot covers, for some time, but only after seeing him fuel the actual band with pure Brazilian groovy rage, I begin to understand what a crazy artist he is. There's always a "I can't believe he just did that" moment with this guy.

[@theroachden6195]

Eloy plays the songs as written. For example, every time I've seen Slipknot perform "Psychosocial" they always play it faster than what it was written. I'm the video of the first concert with Eloy, they played the song at the tempo it was written and I sounded fuckin awesome.

[@dixiedoctor2563]

With Sepultura I see it as the end of a cycle in which Eloy was the key to everything, Sepultura's last 2 albums were really very good and this goes mainly through Eloy's drums, Eloy's preparation for metal music was meticulous well oriented, the guy took classes with Aquiles Priester who is one of the best and was in charge of Angra's drumsticks, then Eloy is invited to play in André Matos' solo band, André Matos being one of the best musicians in his genre of metal and finally the preparation with Sepultura, a legendary band with worldwide repercussion where Eloy was able to increase the level, I believe we will see Eloy's peak in Slipknot, and it is strange to see how the ties intertwine throughout history, Slipknot which was a band influenced by Sepultura in the 90s, now receives from Sepultura the energy necessary to continue.

[@jangles1839]

Being a sound tech, not a musician, I had never really considered how much each member's abilities to play their respective instruments affect the performance. I had never really noticed drummers speeding up and slowing down during performances or recordings, so thanks, Tank, for the explanation.

[@box_designer]

You got a new follower! Thanks for your research and respect with Eloy’s career. I’m a Brazilian drummer as well and I’ve been following Eloy since he was just a kid drumming a mini drum kit on the biggest famous broadcast channel in Brazil that called “Globo” on tv show called “Domingão do Faustão”. I had an opportunity to meet Eloy on Sepultura’s concert many years ago and yes, you are right, this guy is the mostly best drummer that you can see in live show. About the tempo, he is a metronome human. You can check his video on his channel here on YT called Eloy vs Metronome. Thanks for the great video here! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Sorry we didn't see you at Pier 17!! Thank you for being so significant to putting on a great show. EC was incredible, loved every minute!

[@pedrothevenard]

Joey was a monster, great drum player, very creative and one of Eloy inspirations, I have nothing but respect about his drumming, Jay was a world class drummer with some caveats but really solid musically, both are perfectly capable to play in any metal band, Joey was better though, it isn't hard to compare, he just was, the same way that Eloy has a lot to prove on writing, there's no question that the legacy of Joey is better on that side, but if you are talking skill, there's no comparison, Eloy it's just a better drummer skill wise, there's no discussion, skill isn't everything for sure, that's why Lars is still one of the great names of metal drumming, but if you are talking skill it's as clear as day that Eloy is a mile ahead Joey, that was already ahead of Jay. It's hard to say someone is the best drummer of all time, but it isn't that hard to say who are in the conversation to be the most skillful metal drummer of all time, and only one drummer in Slipknot has any chance to be on that conversation, and that's Eloy, period, we'll see about the songs they write together, but if you want to listen a live performance of the old songs, the absolute best drummer they ever had it's Eloy.

[@PhillipDrumz]

Watching this and bringing up the business side of a band, it reminds me of the drama even hip hop greats Wu Tang Clan have had over the years. You also bring up personalities and speed. A few things that come to mind regarding Jay is that yes, he played super fast. I read somewhere it's possible that Jay was probably hard to keep up with in the studio. When watching the live performance at Pioneer town, Eloy played hard, but not fast and the band sounded like their old selves, which was refreshing. Also, there was an interview where Jim Root mentions 1) There was no other choice but Eloy, 2) Eloy and VMan know each other from before 3) Eloy called Slipknot regarding the position 4) It feels like they're blaming Jay for the last album not being a hit.

[@whipdan674]

Portuguese pronunciation of Casagrande is actually closer to Spanish then Brazilian Portuguese, but since he is Brazilian then their pronunciation is the correct one. The same name exists in Portugal and you would pronounce it with a "the" sound at the end like Casagran"the" while brazilians pronounce it Casagrand"i". His name literally translates to Big Home, "casa" meaning Home and "grande" meaning big or large.

[@Jumpz2100]

Yo tank, keep these uploads coming I love em bro!

[@adamsteinbacher2629]

All well said Tank. Keeping solid tempos without a click is one of the hardest things you can do as a drummer. Using a metronome app to start off a song is an excellent way of doing it without forcing click on a band that doesn't want it. Eloy's is almost superhuman at keeping a steady tempo while also playing intricately and hard AF.

[@nicolekrzyzanowski2952]

Ok listen. I just wanted to say, the fact that tank is electric callboys tour manager after reacting here to their songs and talking to them and so on, honestly is my Roman Empire! I think about it once a day and it makes me so happy! Ok that’s all thank you for listening ✌️

[@smashrhythm]

Well done, I love how you give respect to all past drummers. Eloy and Derrick Green not to mention Sepultura as a whole copped a lot of hate and ridicule for simply moving on without the Cavalera Bros. In my opinion Sepultura only got better since Against and Eloy reinvigorated them for another 4 amazing albums (they are crazy good) and are criminally underrated. 🙏

[@kokolucero7424]

Amazing the explanation of the difference between spanish and portuguese pronunctiation, as a spanish based country in southamerica i must say thank you

[@lucastrobarbosa]

Something interesting to add is that before recording an album with André Matos (who is the biggest name in Brazilian melodic metal), Eloy started as a touring drummer at the age of 15.

[@renanviniciusalvesramalho2309]

O André Matos (com quem Eloy tocou em sua carreira solo) foi o fundador do Angra, a banda que lançou Kiko Loreiro, que, posteriormente, tocou no Megadeath.

[@vitindublack7891]

I like to add an important point of Eloy's drumming that may have contributed to Slipknot's decision to chose him. Its his ability and creativity to compose. If you hear Sepultura "Quadra" album you will find a lot of interesting grooves and things that add so much to the musicality of the band and sounds sooooooo good. Eloy have technique, power, control, creativity, professionalism and the most important thing, the passion and love for what he is doing. Im so excited to what this band will create with his musicality...

several influential drummers say that he is the best, not in the history of metal as a whole, but in the current history for at least 4 years. the best of its generation. It is relevant to many who play the instrument at a technical level, most people weren't aware of this because it was at a niche level, but slipknot shines a light on what has been true for some time now and that's why it's in the band.

i have not seen that much of critiques...most of the fans are just overblown by Eloys drumming. IT is very true that he's playing those tunes very close to the tempo of the studio recordings, and his hitting technique and prsission makes a difference. But also they are playing downturned which also helps a lot with the superb flow of Corey's vocals.

Tank I was trying to get your attention after electric cowboys set at Rockville! I was on the rail yelling hi tank after their set haha fun fun set!

[@iVETAnsolini]

I just hope we get more 🔥🔥🔥 slipknot albums. If Eloy’s drumming helps with that, than that a bonus to all slipknot fans

[@finnskellix2977]

I had never heard of Eloy until he joined slipknot, but from what I've seen, im a fan i think hes a benefit to the band and i cant wait to see where it goes

[@Drow67p]

The guy is an absolute killer on the drums. anyone that hates on his joining Slipknot is crazy.

Slipknot is joining Eloy Casagrande

[@lordskysixss]

Eloy is very humble, if there are egos going around i think he will just step back and just do his job. He's chill and very calm so confrontation will always be avoided, i'm sure of it. But i am willing to bet that everyone in the band likes him and is stoked with his drumming skills. Eloy said in a interview to a brazilian magazine that he's free to improvise, as long as he doesn't bring the band down. So they are letting my homie cook, and judgind by the live performances, his improvs are on point, his fills are amazing, his agressiveness and technique are insane and the tempo is borderline perfect. I don't think Slipknot will find a better fit than eloy, EVER. It's like he was born to ultimately be in Slipknot.

[@patrose7742]

I might be mistaken, but I believe Eloy was also taught by Aquiles Priester. There is an amazing video from 2011 of them doing a drum duet together at the Musician's Institute that is absolutely insane!

Quadra, the last and latest album from Sepultura, that unfortunately came out the day before the Covid 19 pandemic Exploded, is built around Eloy’s drum tracks. And it sounds AMAZING. I can’t wait to hear what He can do with Slipknot. And I am really curious to hear if Sep new drummer can actually play Eloy’s drum parts as Eloy does (they are extremely complex, even for Him. If anyone watches the “making of” Quadra videos, He showcases how hard it was for him to “learn” them. Or watch a drum-cam of “Means to an End”… on KZbin!

But it makes you appreciate how good Joey was at the time. Imagine people comparing you and Eloy (even Jay). Truly a line of great drummers.

[@Scratchyjackscratch]

I think Slipknot getting Eloy is frickin awesome man! Joey was great , Jay was great , It's Eloy's turn , I can't wait to see what the next album is gonna be like with Eloy, Jim Root even said so. Good Luck Eloy!!

[@Coastfog]

When that undiscovered drummer clip started, I audibly went "nope, nope, nope, nope...". He's just incredible, I literally can't comprehend it at first and need to ease in.

[@MarkMonolithOfficial]

Eloy is an incredible drummer and musician. He hits with a ton of power, precision, groove and tons of creativity. Very unique, and extremely consistent. He really is a world class drummer Check out his work on Casagrande & Hanysz as well as Sepultura

[@ThePunisher_702]

Probably Eloy is the best metal drummer of our generation, maybe in history of metal. Slipknot made THE BEST decision by hiring him, they're lucky to have someone like Eloy in the drum seat. For the first time in years I'm excited about Slipknot's new proyects again!!

[@brandoncraig2461]

Joey was a god, but he's gone. Jay was great, he wasn't the best fit. Eloy is... Eloy....They (Slipknot) wanted nobody else. People need to accept it and enjoy.

[@per-ly4wq]

Slipknot are more than lucky to have Eloy in the Band. Look at the last gigs with Eloy-I haven’t seen Slipknot perform that way in years. People come and go, so wish those gone good luck and welcome the new guy.

Funny thing in my opinion the Tama Rhythm watch is the best metronome on the market that I am aware of I've worked 10 years in drum retail I personally use a Roland octapad. But that's an $800 unit if I were to use anything in the studio without having to keep an eye on from people damaging or borrowing that would be my first choice the Rhythm watch you can tap start the beat to so that's a very good feature especially for getting beats per minute off of a live moment.
