• Joey Jordison Tours With Rob Zombie

Slipknot drummer, Joey Jordison will spend spring and summer 2010 pounding the skins for new labelmate Rob Zombie, who is about to embark on a very busy touring schedule.

Zombie states, "Joey is an absolutely crushing drummer and I am thrilled to have him as part of the Zombie family. His amazing skills promise to take the live show to a whole new level of insanity." Jordison also commented, saying, "I am honoured, proud and excited to announce that I have joined the ranks as the new touring drummer for Rob Zombie. I've been a fan of Zombie's since the beginning. I've toured with them and have always wanted to play for them. When John 5 called me up to ask if I knew any drummers I could recommend, I said, only half-jokingly, 'Yeah, me!"

Jordison is universally recognized as not only one of the best drummers in hard rock, but as one of the most talented skinsmen in music, period. He will be sitting behind the kit for several appearances and tours throughout the year, namely the Gruesome Twosome tour, which features Zombie along with his longtime pal, Alice Cooper, which begins April 26 2010 in Canada and runs through til May 5 2010 in Wyoming. Following that, Jordison will tour with Zombie as part of the 2010 Rock Star Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, which Zombie is co-headlining with Korn. That tour kicks off July 10 2010 in Southern California and runs through til August 14 2010 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

"This show and set-list is mind blowing, and what better way to kick off than with the Gruesome Twosome tour with horror-rock legend Alice Cooper," Jordison said. "I want to thank all the Slipknot fans for their support and the Rob Zombie fans for welcoming me in. The Demonoid Phenomenon is on its way!"

Jordison will make his debut with Zombie at the 2010 Revolver Golden Gods Awards, held on April 8 2010, at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. Zombie will be closing out the evening's awards ceremony with what is sure to be a must see performance.
