@@tomloeper8933 he has said on more than one occasion that he is a rock drummer. He has also played rock all his life. Another thing is that he is a musician who competently plays anything and ... loves jazz. In addition, his great reference was Buddy Rich, so it is normal to see characteristics of jazz, but in rock.
He is first a drummer and a musician (forget about styles and labels). First you must learn to play the instrument (execution technique, reading, rhythm, tempo, dynamics, improvisation, ...) then the repertoire comes, which must include different styles and rhythms (jazz, blues, soul, funk, rock, Afro Latin Grooves, etc), to enrich you, have tools, and ultimately become a versatile musician capable of facing any musical context. Young people who like rock and metal and start playing the drums or any other instrument, do not worry about learning to play the instrument first or to be musicians (a very superior word), they only want to play rock songs and metal, they do not follow a logical progression.
I grew up watching Max Weinberg from the Conan O'Brien show. And i am surprised to found out that his son is the current drummer of Slipknot. Damn. Like father like son.
I remember an episode of Conan where Conan asked Max what he did over the weekend. And Max answered that he went to Ozzfest with his son, I believe, and mentioned the bands Mastodon and Lamb of God. Conan burst into laughter like "wtf are those band names".
@@jimdemassi8788 That's true for a lot of us I think haha. I like Springsteen but I'm too young to have been a fanboy, meanwhile Conan was Late Night right when I was watching like crazy and Max was a huge character for him, so that's how I know him too lol
David Baillie fucking idiot? Really? Have you been dropped on your head douchbag? I wasn’t making fun of the guy, was actually laughing at how old I must be and how generational something can be. Grow the fuck up jerkoff! Not everything has to be a keyboard battle ya child!
Didn't really find much except the chick lead singer of his last band talking some shit and then say she was kidding. Then said a couple of hypothetical stories that I guess she is saying happened, but I guess to not get into a bunch of legal shit said never happened. None of the stories were that bad I mean maybe a bit egotistical but he is the son of a famous drummer for one of the biggest bands ever. I don't think it sounds like he is some guy who is just completely ridiculous and impossible to deal with. I'm sure if he was he wouldn't have lasted this long in slipknot
@@behindthen0thing525 Oh ffs "JoEy iS bEtTeR" wtf is the point of saying shit like that Joey isn't suddenly going to come back because some random guy on the internet said so you get it? HE ISNT FUCKING COMING BACK FFS
I liked Joey but for whatever reason he isn't in the band, it sucks but people should get over it. Jay seems like a n alright dude I'm sure if he wasn't he wouldn't last long in a band with 9 members
Well Jay actually didn't play on The Gray Chapter.. it was all Clown who did the drums, they weren't part of the band just yet and Corey and the guys felt more comportable to do the stuff themselves
are u crazy dude? clown isn't a drummer with skills to play songs like slipknot, clown played the beginning of 'Goodbye' and the beginning of 'If Rain Is What You Want'
Max is such a humble person, here's one of the greatest drummers of all time saying "he's a way better drummer than me " about his son . You guys are awesome .
Yeah, Max is being a sweet dad but his precision, stick control and dynamics are something you can hear Jay doesn't have. On the flip side, if Max hasn't studied his blast-beats or double-bass marches, then Jay's got him licked there.
Lol. I heard a similar thing said by miley cyrus. She was to sing with Madonna the next day at short notice. So she learned her songs. Yes, all her songs. In a night.
I've always liked Max's drumming but his playing here was even more off of the chain. He's damned good. Jay is a killer rock drummer. My oldest son is wanting my kit setup so he can start playing. I have to clean out the storage building so he can wood shed in the storage shed. I'm looking forward to it so we can enjoy this part of our relationship.
I so love the father/son thing. Kinda taught my son to play guitar. However he quickly caught on and moved WAY ahead of me. Now i've been playing drums for 50 years,so as he grew up he wanted to play drums too. So i bought him an electronic kit for his 22nd birthday. Now he's 23 and i'm 63. I haven't heard him play yet. (Pa,FL) but i'm sure he's awesome as well. Love this shit!!!
You don't have to be a musician to enjoy this video. Seeing father and son, knowing their journeys and seeing their success is truly amazing. Max seems like an awesome Dad to let his son carve his own way and support him at every step. You can appreciate the fact he doesn't live in his fathers shadow and continues to excel. Any father wants more than anything than to see their boy become something greater than they ever dreamed. My son is still young but i want to be able to back him as he becomes the man he is meant to be. On the other hand, when it comes to music, my daughter is aspiring to be a, in her words, a "metal goddess". Tears of pride, my friends. Tears of pride.
What an amazing story. Mine was that my father played around me for a couple years at somepoint but would never let us touch his drums.... He hasn't drummed since then and I have grown into a man that continues to share and grow my passions with everyone around me.
I love that Max didn't make him learn his style. He knows that you can be a great drummer in several different styles. Also, the look on Jay's face when Max is talking about his accomplishments is adorable
Max hits so hard and so fast even now. I have seen him live and he is amazing. From the small drum kit to the big kit that Jay has. They are both so good
Oh, dude. That first call and response between son and dad really set the tone for me. Max's refined musical feel and taste to Jay's musical technicality. Excellent contrast! I love this video!
Saw my first Bruce Springsteen show with Jay filling in on on drums for dad. I was blown away. Not only by Bruce obviously but I was mesmerized by Jays playing. Incredible experience all around.
Superb! I played drums back in Ireland for ten years in my dads band playing all over Ireland in many different environments . Best time of my life! I learned to be on time on and off the stage
tye subtle differences between max and jay’s style are so interesting. max uses K’s, Jay uses A’s, Max uses Remo heads, Jay uses Evans heads, Max uses DW, Jay uses SJC, etc. Max is a legend and Jay is such a beast! I had no idea his son was a drummer as well!
This reminds me a ton of me and my dad. He taught me drums and played big band/jazz for 40+ years. I learned on that and then branched off into metal. Shout out to you, Dad. I love you.
Jazz and metal gel....very much so. Love this duo. Grew up on Conan and Max...and at the same time Slipknot...so now that Jay is there in Knot, he's part of the Maggot's for sure now. Love that. He's earned his stripes. 🤘🤘
God, Max is so funky. Fills the space around him with airy, head-nodding rhythm. And I liked Jay before I even knew he was a different drummer in Slipknot :P
I love to hear Max talk about how much better Jay is. I think fathers around the world strive for this wether its drums or Music or whatever. Well done.....
Love to see Max so proud of Jay's accomplishments, that's the love of a Father to his son. So much love oozing into the recording room. I have a 4-year-old son and he plays way beyond his years. I hope he's going to be a successful drummer than me. Like these Father & Son Combo of Weinberg's! You rock!
Max has been as steady as a rock and carried the beat for thousands of concerts over 45 years. That takes something beyond talent. Hopefully his son can have a similar career.
I saw Jay play with Slipknot, and met him at NAMM a few years back. He's a world class mensch, drummer, and ambassador for the instrument. Love him on, and off stage. Max has every reason to be a proud father!
I grew up watching Late Night with Conan with my dad, and Slipknot is and forever will be my favorite band. When we all found out Jay was the new drummer for Slipknot, omg, that, that was very interesting.
I think as parents we always want to see our children do well in whatever path they take. If it’s the same path, we want to see them do better than us that way we can revel in their accomplishments...then we take a little pride in knowing that we planted a few good seeds. A mutual respect here..the son is grateful for his father’s influence, the father is proud of what has turned out well for his son.
Dad is a living legend. Son is on the way. Two incredibly humble, genuinely wonderful human beings here. The apple definitely did NOT fall far from the tree here....and in this case, the world is blessed in so many ways because of it.
How cool is this, like the Griffey’s playing baseball or Earnhardt’s in daytona. Max has to be in 7th heaven. Their drum battle at the Guitar Center show was probably the best of them, imo
This is one of my very favorite video's, I cant count how many times I've watched it either, watching them talk about eachother is amazing and fun!!! I'm a fan of them both, being 56yrs old I love Max's work as well as Jay's, I am after all a maggot too!!! I also think I even share this video everytime I watch it too!!! Not sorry, more like ur welcome!!! 🤭🥁🥁🤟🤟🖤🖤🤘🤘
0:44 It brought tears to his eyes when he seen his son playing with Bruce Springsteen...That's nothing compared to his reaction when he seen Jay playing with Slipknot..Max went crazy and dove head first into the maggot pit..he later stagedived 30 feet off one of the stage towers. .it was crazy as hell and had the whole thing on video but everyone's phone that night got hit by some kind of EMP wave from space..erased everything..but I will always have those memories to hold onto forever 🤘😎🤘
This was cool, I like seeing things like this, cause music really can be a huge bonding experience for families. I just recently, ( well, the past few years ) got my family and I into playing and creating music together, and I wish I had done so from the moment my first was born. Seeing the look on my kids faces when we get a "song" that comes out of nowhere, while we're just messing around and jamming, is absolutely priceless.
@@iangalloway7974 Yes and he has had to work hard to separate himself from Joey Jordison AND Max Weinberg as well because he could have inevitably spent a lot of time in both their shadows...he seems to be doing okay though lol.
Niiiice, max plays the same ride I do. I don’t know why but I always get a sense of satisfaction seeing drummers with the same cymbals. Snares and shells aren’t the same. I think it’s because cymbals are a color choice. They’re detail oriented choices that express your musical personality in a way that shells don’t.
