Justin is currently drum teching for Slipknot and was kind of enough to jump on call with us mid tour, all the way from Slovakia. Had a solid time catching up with him and hearing it’s like touring with one of the largest metal bands in the world.

In this episode of the Don’t Shit On The Bus podcast we will learn:

• How it feels to headline festivals in Europe
• What it’s like touring with a large band & crew
• How Justin and Jay Weinberg became friends
• Justin’s improvement as a drummer
