Slipknot has finally confirmed that their new drummer of Slipknot is Eloy Casagrande<\/a>, tagging him in an Instagram photo<\/a> of the band’s 2024 lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, fans already long suspected this was the case based on a number of hints, like Eloy leaving Sepultura, a broken Promark drumstick<\/a>, and a phone video<\/a> of Slipknot’s first show with their new drummer’s tattoos clearly visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Estepario was right<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Sepultura announced<\/a> that Eloy had suddenly stepped down to pursue a career with another project right before the band\u2019s final tour, the internet was ablaze with speculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why would he step down from his band of 13 years to “pursue a career with another project” just days before starting a run of farewell tours?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you aren\u2019t familiar with the mighty Brazilian master, here\u2019s the 411.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is Eloy Casagrande?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Born in 1991 in Brazil, Eloy Casagrande has been playing drums since childhood, emerging quickly as a teen prodigy and winning drum contests like Modern Drummer\u2019s Undiscovered Drummer Contest in 2006 at the age of 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
