Drumming News :
Jay Weinberg, the multi award winning drummer of Suicidal Tendencies, is the newest member of the ever growing Porter & Davies artist family. The company’s tactile monitors allow every punch of the kick drum to pulse through a drummer’s body, adding another dimension to the playing experience.
Weinberg, the son of long-term Bruce Springsteen drummer Max Weinberg, and Slipknot drummer from 2013 to 2024, is currently the drummer of Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves. He has received many accolades in the drumming world, more recently voted Best Metal Drummer 2022 by Music Radar / Rhythm magazine, 2022 Metal Drummer of the Year by Drumeo and 2023 Best Metal Drummer / #1 Rock Drummer in Modern Drummer Readers poll.
Suicidal Tendencies are currently special guests on the Metallica M72 World Tour. They released their first original song in nine years, Adrenaline Addict, to coincide with the band opening for Metallica. Infectious Grooves, the funk offshoot of Suicidal Tendencies, have two show dates in California in August. As a solo art-ist, Weinberg has been working on an album where he plays all the instruments, collaborated with different vocalists and even did his own artwork.
Weinberg has been using his BC2 on tour and this is what he says: ‘The Porter & Davies BC2 has revolution-ized the way I feel the impact of my drums, in the best way possible. As someone who loves to feel the rumble of a strong subwoofer on a tight rock club stage, I’ve often found it difficult to replicate that physical sensation on larger stages, without boosting my in-ear monitor volumes to compensate for the lack of impact. The BC2 tactile monitoring system gives me the low-end response I love to feel — no matter the stage conditions — allowing me to listen to my in-ears at safer volumes. Thank you P&D for this amazing device that allows me to feel more connected to my instrument than ever before!
