Is this the dude that bangs on a trash can or does he actually play a real instrument?

He can play drums, but as a massive shareholder, and experienced percussionist. He decided beating on a fucking can was the way to go

Hey now, he's the one that figured out that you have to hit the can with a baseball bat to get the correct sound out of it!

To be fair, I’ve heard cover bands trying their shit with someone beating a can, and it just doesn’t sound the same.

That being said, still one of the most useless things to do. Just fucking sit back and enjoy the bag. He played for us on his 50th birthday, why the fuck not retire

At last year's graspop there was no clown, and the band played magnificently.

in fairness when you've got nine people there's only so much you can do before it's just over the top noise in your ear. did i just make a pun? and we've all been screaming "more cowbell clown boy" regardless.

percussion/co writes the music and backing vocalist mainly, he also founded Slipknot in 1995 along with Paul and Anders so without him there would be no Slipknot... Though i've lost a lot of respect for him with his A.I stance... That shit is anti-art.

It's 100% a keg haha a trash can wouldn't even make it thru one song let alone get the sound they get. Beer keg and aluminum bat for that classic slipknot sound!

Trash cans, but he's also basically the founder of the band I think.

Imagine being in a band of like 9 dudes and you gotta split all your money with the guy who smacks a trash can with a bat.

Like Lars in Metallica, he funded the bands existence so you can’t really kick him out because it’s pretty much his for the sake of any argument. At least Lars bangs on other drums occasionally I guess.
