Slipknot fans believe that they have figured out who the band’s new drummer is following their most recent intimate performance.The Nine played an intimate club show last night (April 25) at the Pappy + Harriet’s barbecue bar in Pioneertown, California.

They were dressed in their self-titled era masks and distinctive red boiler suits. The surprise gig had been announced one day prior to the show date on April 24.The intimate gig marked Slipknot’s first concert with their new drummer – who is still unnamed – following the shocking firing of Jay Weinberg late last year.

Their new drummer is heavily speculated to be former Sepultura percussionist Eloy Casagrande, thought the band have yet to confirm his identity.Fan captured footage from the gig showed the brand new drummer wearing a white mask, sitting behind a smaller kit than Weinberg was usually seen playing.

Fans are convinced that Casagrande is the new drummer after noticing that the new drummer sports a shaved head and the arrow tattoos on his forearms match the same ones Casagrande is known to have.o Slipknot mandou fazer as tattoo de HENNA igual a do Eloy pra enganar os fã brasileiro, é uma sacanagem pic.twitter.com/qsA8vNFU1o— Guilherme Krol (@guilermekrol) April 26, 2024Slipknot revive red jumpsuits for small intimate California show (2024) pic.twitter.com/gpQ9cd4eQC— crazy ass moments in nu metal history (@numetal_moment) April 26, 2024Previously, the metal icons hinted at the latest addition to the line-up with a post last November, sharing a picture of a single broken drumstick with the caption ‘Rehearsal’.Eagle-eyed fans pieced together that the Promark brand of the drumstick pictured on Slipknot’s post is the same type used by Casagrande.
