🥁 Behind The Kit Episode 25: Jay Weinberg (Slipknot, Suicidal Tendencies)

Episode 25 of Behind The Kit features a conversation I’ve been incredibly excited to share — sitting down with the one and only @JayWeinberg!

Known for his explosive energy, precision, and unmistakable intensity behind the kit, Jay has built an incredible career performing with legendary bands like @Slipknot and @SuicidalTendencies. His playing combines power, endurance, musicality, and passion in a way that has made him one of the most respected drummers in modern rock and metal.

In this conversation, we dive deep into Jay’s journey behind the kit — from his early influences and developing his identity as a drummer to stepping into some of the biggest gigs in rock music. We talk about preparation, mindset, discipline, creativity, the emotional side of performing, and what it truly takes to sustain a career at the highest level of the music industry.

This episode isn’t just about speed, technique, or heavy music — it’s about dedication, resilience, authenticity, and pursuing your craft with everything you have.

Season 2 continues to grow through honest, inspiring conversations like this one, and I’m beyond grateful to bring Jay’s story to the Behind The Kit community.

Thank you for being here, and thank you for supporting Behind The Kit. 🥁
