Jelly Roll Drummer Cody Ash Covers Slipknot’s “Wait and Bleed” in 32 Minutes
Cody Ash, drummer for Jelly Roll, impressively learned and performed Slipknot's "Wait and Bleed" in a remarkably quick 32 minutes, delivering a superb final take.
Jelly Roll drummer Cody Ash took on Slipknot ’s “Wait and Bleed” as part of Drumeo’s challenge for drummers to learn entire drum arrangements as fast as possible.
Unlike Drumeo’s popular “For the First Time” series, Ash was familiar with “Wait and Bleed,” but had never learned to play it on drums before. He revealed that late Slipknot founding member Joey Jordison had been his favorite drummer growing up and an early drum inspiration.

Ash’s familiarity with the song is immediately apparent as he nails some of the trickier iconic drum elements just minutes into the challenge. Commenting on the quickness with which he was able to dive into the track, Ash revealed that much of Jelly Roll’s band members are from hardcore and metal backgrounds and are allowed to indulge in their chops intermittently during live shows.

Such a good attitude and wow… 30 mins for that track is no joke!”
