The Genius Of Joey Jordison

Рет қаралды 3,052,695

Joey Jordison was one of the most influential drummers in metal history. And he was arguably one of the top drummers of all time.
As the founding sticksman of Slipknot, he inspired thousands of metalheads around the world to learn the drums.
His insane skills, his showmanship, his masks, his gear…he was just cool.
In this video, Ash Pearson of Revocation talks about why Joey Jordison was, truly, number one.
0:00 -- Intro
1:26 -- Inventive drum beats
Joey didn’t just pull ideas from metal. For example, in the chorus of “Wait And Bleed”, he created a groove with the snare and rack tom - not a common choice in the genre, but a great one. The iconic intro from “Duality” is one of the most recognizable metal drum parts out there. The kick pattern fits the riff perfectly. In “All Hope Is Gone”, the double kick matches the guitar part nicely and the fills carry over the bar line (a very Ulrich move).
3:59 -- Creative drum fills
Check out how he built these fills in “Eyeless” off the drum & bass sample. He loved using hand to foot combinations like this example from “Tattered & Torn”:
5:25 -- Playing with large bands
It’s tough enough to coordinate playing styles, creativity, and personalities in a three or four piece band. With nine members in Slipknot, Joey knew how and when to simplify his parts to elevate his bandmates’ parts.
Not every musician is willing to put aside the ego and do what’s best for the music, but check out “Liberate”, “My Plague,” and “Duality” for examples of how he’d leave breaks in the drumming where it made sense.
There’s a lot every drummer can learn from Joey Jordison.
6:54 -- Technical drum parts
Joey played at blazing tempos with precision. He’d also combine a lot of ideas in a short period of time when the song called for it, like the combo of thrash beats, blast beats, fills, and double bass in “Disasterpiece”. He also nailed the fast tom patterns in “Tattered & Torn”.
8:54 -- Final thoughts
His body of work can be summed up with this sentence (said by Joey himself regarding Slipknot):
“It’s extremely sick and brutal but it’s all within the realm of being controlled and having fun and everyone leaves with a positive experience.”

This was my exact experience watching Disasterpieces for the first time. I actually bought that DVD before I had ever listened to either Iowa or the band's debut album and was absolutely blown away by Joey. I couldn't believe that he could play with such vitality, precision, and technical mastery song after song after song. There's a moment during "Liberate" where he tosses his stick up in the air just as Corey says, "I can't see from here, but I can smell your fear" and catches it before slamming into the next groove that I must have rewound and watched 100,000 times. Words like "legend" are reserved for people like Joey.

Joey truly was the reason that the nu metal scene incorporated some death metal drumming and technicality. I don't know which song it was but I think "wait and bleed" was one of the first songs I've heard combined with "left behind". Joey truly was a drummer that kept pushing forward and was looking for the extreme in every corner of the history of drums. He loved bands like satyricon, deicide and some grindcore stuff and you can really hear how he worshipped this kind of music. He understood music as an all in all package and really wrote songs within songs on his drum kit. It inspired me to strife towards this extremity in music and pushed my imagination to the limit of what a drummer can actually create. Rip you legend

I will never forget at age 8 watching the ‘Left Behind’ music video. It absolutely blew me away and Joey’s drumming immediately drew me in. I got my first drum kit shortly after and found my passion. He truly changed my life as I’m sure he did countless others. One year today and it still doesn’t seem real. Number 1 forever ❤

When I started playing drums I heard Slipknot for the first time and it made me want to play exactly like Joey. He gave me so much inspiration along with Chris from Lamb of God. (Sic) was the song that stuck in my head for years and even till this day. Thats when I knew I was gonna play this style of drums for the rest of my life

*Joey* & *Chris* are my fav. 2 Drummers of all time, however I don't play Drums And since you do, tell me who you think is difficult to imitate & who do you think is more creative in hitting every single Part on the whole Drum Set ❓ y'know like some Drummers just go mad with the Blast Beats & some go mad with the Snare or the Plates .... Who you think among these 2 goes all the way on every part of the Drum Set ❓ And do tell me who's more difficult to imitate & why ❓

I will never forget their tour in 2001. I was 16/17 and my sister got me tickets to see them live in Berlin. When the drum kit started rotating, going in the air, flipping 90°, rotating again... all while he was playing and then the lights went out to show the big ass pentagramm. Man this concert was unbelievable!

JJ was a musician first and a drummer second. If yall want to see the full range of his creative thinking, look up his work on the Roadrunner All Stars record. He was a team captain and his group did four songs. Four incredibly different takes that he masterminded. Incredible stuff, even if a couple of them aren't metal. I am one who picked up sticks because of him. RIP Joey.

R.I.P to the one who started it all. We love and miss you Joey.

My favorite slipknot song is “The Shape”, for multiple reasons. On top of being the heaviest/most underrated song they’ve made (in my opinion), I feel it showcases Joey’s creativity. The verses, for the most part, are just ambient noise with a two note base line. Joey follows the bass with his foot while playing a thrash beat over it, but somehow makes it groovy. The chorus to me is really where he shines creatively. It’s a tremolo riff, and I feel if that riff was given to any other metal drummer, they probably would have either put a blast beat over it, or just laid some heavy double bass over it, but Joey grooved that tremolo, and it was the first time I’d heard something like that. He took a song that if played by anyone else, would have been noise and double bass, but he took that song and made it groove, all while keeping a heavy feel. That song, to me, is the true genius of Joey Jordison! Rest in Power, Joey!!

he's definitely studied a lot of jazz in his life, because I remember listening to a demo before Corey came in and there were one or two songs that he'd put jazz in the middle of out of nowhere and matched it up a lot. He certainly cared about doing what the other drummers weren't doing and loved the instrument.
