Few musicians have been chucked into the deep end of the music industry as regularly as Jay Weinberg. Son of Max Weinberg (drummer for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band), Jay followed in his dad’s footsteps by picking up the sticks, and even filled the same drum stool as a teenager when his dad had a schedule clash.
Stints in other established bands like Madball and Against Me! followed, but his biggest challenge came when he replaced the late, great Joey Jordison as Slipknot’s drummer in 2014. This is what he’s learned from his journey so far.
