Slipknot’s 5-Year-Old Drummer Fan Got To Meet And Hang Out With The Band

By now you’ve likely heard of Caleb H, the 5-year-old drum prodigy who recently went viral after air drumming through a Slipknot show last week. His impressive air drumming chops managed to catch the eye of the band’s own drummer Jay Weinberg, who went on to reach out to him and his parents. As other footage has since gone on to prove, Caleb‘s talent behind an actual drum kit is already well beyond his years.

As a result of the viral footage, Caleb not only got offered a custom snare from Weinberg, but has now also met and hung out with the band. To that end, he got to take in their show from side stage last night, January 24th, at the Arena Birmingham in Birmingham, England. Weinberg and Slipknot bassist Alessandro Venturella shared the following photos of that:

His parents commented of the experience:
