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.”

And he did it all with a mask, a long sleeve shirt, and long pants. That's all I can think about when I watch him drum. It makes me sweat just watching.

The intro of "Eyeless" is one of the most iconic moments in Metal-Drumming history. R.I.P. Joey ❣

The man's movements were so clean it made him look like a robot. As a drummer, Joey's passing was the most difficult celebrity death that actually affected me emotionally. R.I.P.

The greatest drummers in history are the ones who are pulling off what sounds like the impossible while being able to play without destroying the song. Just about every great band who's climbed to the top of their music style has had a drummer who has led the way.

His drumming is so technical while he hits the drums super hard and I have no idea how he did it throughout his whole life. RIP Joey

I remember meeting Joey when I was like 5 years old (I’m 16) and I can still hear the subtle joy in his voice when I ran up in my little jumpsuit and mask, he gave me a high five before we left. I remember the day I found out he passed, it crushed me to the bottom of heart. We’ll always miss #1

The Eyeless intro will always be one of my very favourite drum fills ever, ever. Rip Joey, you inspired a generation

I've always equated Joey to a tattoo artist who actually knows how to use negative space. Knowing when to hold back is an amazing skill many don't learn.

I'll never forget watching him spin in the air drumming like a madman live. Truly one of a kind. I feel lucky to have grown up in the era I did. I got to see him and slip 6x in my life.

It's crazy to think we lost this absolute legend a year ago but in my heart he's happy with what he's done and he's together again with Paul

Eyeless was what got me into Slipknot, in large part to Joey’s playing
 of course Disasterpiece is also just a freaking feat! The guy set a high bar for drummers in heavy metal

As a teenager, I couldn't work out why Joey always sounded different to me than a lot of other drummers. I think it's because he had a musicality to his playing that you don't often see.

With how much people talked about Joey's blistering fast feet, you forget how great of a groove drummer he was

Watching him play Disasterpieces live while spinning around on the pentagram. Followed by the "not until I say, Jump the fuck up" If you've ever been in the Zero Bullshit, you know what I'm talking about. Going to a Slipknot concert in the 2000s was a life changing experience. He's the reason I started drumming and started listening to heavier metal. It was heartbreaking to hear he died on my birthday man... I'll never forget when he threw his drumstick to me in Toronto. Your spirit lives on through us all! Us maggots never truly die, because one simple fact. You cannot kill what you did not create. Stay (sic) everyone.

I think having Dave Lombardo and Niel Pert both give Joey props after studying Joey has to be one of the greatest compliments ever.

Saw him live 3 times with slipknot. One show he played a complete solo with his drum set lifted in the air, inverted, and spinning around. Another show they were playing SIC and his drum kit once again went way up in the air and spun around inverted. Amazing drummer and an amazing person.
