Think about being requested to come back jam with Slipknot and telling them you’d slightly simply ship in a video of your enjoying as a substitute. In accordance with Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor in an interview with Revolver, new drummer Eloy Casagrande was the one one of many band’s drummer decisions to truly comply with getting in a room with the then-eight.
“I believe we simply kinda went, ‘You realize what? Let’s simply inform folks.’ It was actually so simple as that, you already know? Eloy was the one one who was courageous sufficient to get within the room with us. There have been a handful of different folks that we have been taking a look at, and none of them wished to jam with us. They simply wished to do their very own factor and ship it in — a really TikTok factor, you already know? And we have been like, ‘That is not the best way this works, dude.’
“Eloy rearranged his schedule to come back see us. He was so hungry to jam and simply see what would occur that we have been instantly impressed simply by that alone. He did not get it instantly — attending to know him was simply as essential as jamming with him — however by the point we made that call, we have been, like, ‘Let’s inform the world now. He is earned it.’ Our viewers is so used to us form of retaining our playing cards near our chest, however to me it was extra refreshing to only form of come out and go, ‘Yeah, he is our dude.'”
Guitarist Jim Root added his personal opinion, together with a shaggy dog story about Eloy and Slipknot bassist VMan: “Yeah, he is a super-cool dude. He is actually quiet, however he simply lives, eats and breathes drums. If he is obtained an idle second, he is obtained a observe pad in entrance of him or a observe package. I just lately purchased a brand new place that has a bit tiny demo studio connected to the storage. I’ve obtained a drum set in there and a giant sofa that you would be able to flip right into a mattress.
“Eloy and VMan got here to remain right here for every week between the Rockville and Sonic Temple festivals, and Eloy was, like, ‘Is it potential that I can keep within the room with the drums?’ [Laughs] At actually seven the following morning, I may hear drums being performed out in my studio. He is like some type of Jedi drum grasp, which is inspiring to me. He makes me wish to be a greater guitar participant to match his skills, you already know?”
