Slipknot's former drummer Jay Weinberg is offering fans the chance to buy some of the stuff he's accrued over a 17-year career, with a percentage of the proceeds going to the MusiCares charity.
Weinberg – who has played for Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Against Me!, Madball and most recently Suicidal Tendencies – will open his Reverb shop on March 18. Among the items on offer are the kit he used on Springsteen's Working on a Dream 2009 world tour, Slipknot drums, masks and coveralls, signed studio-used drum heads and much more.
"When I first joined [Slipknot], I only had one mask" he explains. "I didn’t even think to ask for a backup. Later on I realised I should probably have extras in case something broke during a show.
"So I made some backups and started painting them, giving them different character as they aged and wore down. I’ve cleaned them since, so they’re sanitised now, but they’re still artefacts from a really significant period of time. There’s also a two-piece outfit that was used in the music video for Yen and in the photoshoot for the album The End, So Far."
