Slipknot posted a photo on their social media last Saturday, March 9th, showing a broken drumstick captioned "rehearsal," generating high expectations. The photo also confirmed that the new drummer, Jay Weinberg's replacement, has already been confirmed for the band.
Check out the original post:
Eloy as the new drummer for Slipknot.
Slipknot has made no statement, nor has it revealed who the band's new drummer will be; however, speculation about former Sepultura drummer Eloy Casagrande has been growing.
In their post, the band shows a photo of a ProMark , the same brand used by Eloy. This series of coincidences makes fans even more convinced about the drummer's possible integration into the group.
On February 27th, Sepultura announced the departure of their drummer, just before the start of their farewell tour. The band stated that they were caught off guard and mentioned that Eloy had informed them that he would be pursuing a career in other projects.
