The readers of Modern Drummer magazine have voted SLIPKNOT’s Jay Weinberg as the No. 1 metal drummer of the year

Yesterday, Jay released the following statement via social media: “It is truly an honor to be named Metal Drummer of the Year in the 2022 @modern_drummer Reader’s Poll. I distinctly remember being a teenager, buying my first copy of Modern Drummer Magazine at my local drum shop. It’s surreal and humbling to receive this recognition.

“Thank you so much to Modern Drummer, the entire MD community, and everyone who voted. Your support means the world to me.

“Tomas, Brann, Eloy, and Matt: you guys know how much your music means to me. Thank you all for the endless inspiration you’ve given the worldwide drumming community, and for everything you do to push the instrument forward.

“Thank you to my wife @chloweinberg, our dog @hiya___papaya, my parents and siblings, and my bandmates in @slipknot for the love and encouragement. I owe you all a debt of gratitude I can never repay.

“To everyone who’s been in my corner all these years, thank you so much. I sincerely appreciate it.”

Jay was introduced to SLIPKNOT through his father Max Weinberg, of Bruce Springsteen’s E STREET BAND, and leader of the house band on Conan O’Brien‘s talk show. He became a massive fan of the band and became an actual member of SLIPKNOT after auditioning as the replacement for original drummer Joey Jordison back in 2013.
