The fastest drummer in the world - Joey Jordison: life and work

Being a good musician is not easy. But it's even harder to be a world-size star and have a number of awards. Very rare musicians can boast of not only fame, but also real records. This can be proved by Joey Jordison.

Childhood

The fastest drummer in the world was born in 1975 in Iowa. He grew up in a family that is not indifferent to music and also has an excellent taste in this area. So, little Joey Jordison rarely watched TV, but constantly sat at the turntable, listening to the work of "Led Zeppelin" and "Kiss". The latter became his most beloved band. Passion could not pass without a trace. Joey went to school and quickly expressed a desire to participate in amateur performances. He learned to play the guitar and immediately found himself several projects for self-expression.

However, he really found himself only when his parents presented him with a drum kit. The joy of the young man was indescribable. He mastered it faster than a bicycle, since he always had a unique sense of rhythm. His talent could not fade away without a trace. Therefore, improving, he began to look for serious projects. Working in the music store, Jordison created with his neighbor a band playing heavy metal. Then he did not even suspect that this was the beginning of his career in the music industry.

Slipknot

The man who later received the title "the fastest drummer in the world" found his dream group absolutely by accident. Of course, it's about Slipknot. He joined them in the mid-90's, when no one else knew what kind of collective it was. The first album came out in the number of only a thousand copies, but the next one has already included the project in the "Billboard" list. Then they were on the 51st place in the ranking, but the world learned about them. Long tours began, during which Joey comprehended what popularity is and how serious bands work that know that they are under the sights of reporters. His game was getting better and ... faster.

A real success

Ambitions of musicians grew on a par with their success. So, the new album brought them to the first line of "Billboard" and glorified the whole world. The fastest drummer Joey Jordison already at that time was in good standing with a number of record companies and show business colleagues. He was recognized, admired. Each new tour tour, each following album did not disappoint fans, but, on the contrary, raised Jordison in the eyes of the public.

In addition, the musicians of "Slipknot" began to appear and their author's projects. For Joey, these were "Killer Dolls". The group also played metal. He paid her so much attention that sometimes there was not enough time for the main job. Conflicts began among the participants of the legendary group. As a result, the author's project was abandoned, as Slipknot could not cease to be a priority for Jordison.

Work with other collectives

It can not be said that Joey Jordison (Slipknot) - the fastest drummer - has never played in other world-class bands. So, he was a session musician, when in other famous collectives an extraordinary incident occurred, because of which their drummer could not perform an important tour. This happened with the group of "Systems of the Dawn" on Halloween in 2001, when its participant Dolmayan was unable to attend the concert due to personal circumstances. That's when they asked Jordison to replace him. He was flattered by such a proposal, received from a great group.

But on this his session game did not end. Another time, Ulrich from the "Metallica" could not because of the forced leave to come to the festival of rock music. Without a long thought, the members of this group asked Joey not to deny them the honor of speaking with them. George Jordan did not deny it. In addition, the group "Korn" also took advantage of the drummer's skill.

The fastest drummer in the world, Slipknot

There is a well-known fact that Joey is friends with Marilyn Manson. This confirms his participation in the filming of the last video. Menson responds very respectfully to Jordinson, calling him one of the best musicians he knows.

In 2010, the TOP of the fastest drummers of the world was published. In it, Jordison deservedly took the first line. It turned out that he is capable of carrying 32 blows per second. But that's not all. The pedals on his installation are disconnected, which means that he needs to set the rhythm himself with his feet, that is, his legs have a different rhythm. Not without reason after such measurements, Joey was listed in the Book of Records.

Nowadays

At the moment no one knows what exactly is happening with the climate in Slipknot. Joey Jordison seemed to want to get out of there, but denied that rumor. The fastest drummer in the world has changed the decision. However, recently the band Slipknot introduced a new drummer. Will someone be able to replace the famous drummer? This question is still open. The confirmation of the rumors was waiting for the whole of 2013.

Image

The image of Jordison has long been directly associated with the band Slipknot, because they always acted in masks. The first mask the fastest drummer in the world chose Japanese. She was uncomplicated and theatrical. Later, he began wearing masks made of latex, combining black and white tones. They became more and more qualitative and unusual. Eventually Jordison came to the mask with scars and smudges, reflecting both his rich life experience and the character of the performance. After all, Joey is not only a successful drummer of Slipknot, but also a talented drummer of a number of speed-metal projects.

Many fans of Jordison say that this musician is definitely not lost, because such talent and hearing are met once in a century.
