SLIPKNOT drummer Joey Jordison will spend the spring and summer of 2010 pounding the skins for new labelmate ROB ZOMBIE, who is embarking on a very busy touring schedule.

Zombie said, “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 honored, 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 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 26th in Canada and runs through May 4th in Wyoming. Following that historic tour, Jordison will tour alongside Zombie as part of the 2010 Rock Star Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, which Zombie is co-headlining with KORN. That tour kicks off July 10th in San Bernardino, California and runs through August 14th in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Jordison will make his debut with Zombie at the 2010 Revolver Golden Gods Awards, held on April 8th, 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.
