Those fills are insanely clean. Eloy is just a whole different beast. Corey sounds great as well, but a great drummer carries the whole band with him and Eloy is doing exactly that.
I know that there are many who love Jay and loved Joey, but there is a very huge difference between how Slipknot sounded a year ago compared to now. They sound so good now, they sound so clean, they sound so much more like what Slipknot should sound like. I get that a lot of people do love that super fast overly technical style of playing that Jay did, but Slipknot isn't a super fast technical band, they never were. Slipknot should sound like a heavy metal/nu metal band that you can dance to, that does have a rhythm, that does have clarity in the music, that does give the other members room to show off and have fun and be comfortable. I know I'll get hate for this comment, there's always Jay defenders, just as there was always Joey defenders, but Slipknot right now sound the best that they're sounded in a few years. I don't want to say that Jay was always not great for Slipknot, sure there was a time when his crazy style of playing was fun and was necessary, but we all know that Slipknot has changed a lot and bringing the band back to what it used to be feels right and Eloy is doing that. Maybe his style of playing will change eventually and I'll take back my words if so, but Eloy is a much better fit right now for sure.
The crowd was basically dead the whole night ....until Slipknot came on. They were brought to life by slipknot's energy no doubt. They were partying like it was 99 😎🤘👊
