For the first time, Slipknot have shared a photo teasing their new drummer.
After Jay Weinberg was dismissed from the group last year, fans have been speculating about who Slipknot’s third drummer will be. The band has remained quiet, until now, sharing a picture of a broken drumstick on social media.

Weinberg, meanwhile, has officially joined crossover thrash icons Suicidal Tendencies.
Near the end of this year, Slipknot will embark on a U.K. and European tour in celebration of the 25th anniversary of their self-titled debut. At this time, no other anniversary dates have been confirmed.
