After 17 years behind some of the most recognizable drum kits in heavy music, Jay Weinberg is offering fans a direct line to a piece of that history.
Weinberg has announced the upcoming launch of The Official Jay Weinberg Reverb Shop, set to go live on Reverb on Wednesday, March 18. The shop will feature gear and memorabilia spanning his entire career — from his early days subbing for his father Max Weinberg on the E Street Band through his decade-long run with Slipknot. A portion of proceeds from all sales will benefit MusiCares, the music industry's health and human services support organization.
Fans can sign up now via email to receive notifications when the store goes live.
What's in the Vault
The inventory Weinberg is making available covers every major chapter of his career, and it's not a box of stage-worn drumsticks and a few signed posters.
Among the headline items: several fully customized SJC drum kits used across multiple eras of his tenure in Slipknot. Those kits went through full productions at massive festival stages and arena tours — the kinds of setups that few touring drummers outside the top tier ever touch. He's also listing the kit he played during the 2009 Working on a Dream World Tour with Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, the run where a 19-year-old Weinberg stepped in for his father and held down the rhythm section for one of rock's most demanding live acts.
Beyond the kits: snares, cymbals, drum thrones, and a range of touring essentials. Stage-worn masks and outfits from his Slipknot years. Signed studio-used drumheads and drumsticks. Tour posters. And collectible pieces designed by Weinberg himself.
This isn't a fire sale. It reads more like a deliberate archiving of a career — the kind of thing that makes sense when you've played at a level where the gear itself has historical weight.
The Context
Weinberg's career arc is unusual even by the standards of working musicians. He was the son of a rock legend, spent his early twenties as a utility player for some of the biggest names in rock and punk — Springsteen, Against Me!, Madball, Suicidal Tendencies — and then spent a decade as one of heavy music's most visible drummers as part of the Slipknot machine.
He joined Slipknot in 2014, replacing founding member Joey Jordison. He stayed for nearly a decade before the band announced they were parting ways with him in November 2023 — a decision Weinberg later described as one that left him "heartbroken and blindsided." Eloy Casagrande, formerly of Sepultura, took the seat in April 2024.
Since then, Weinberg has kept moving. He departed Suicidal Tendencies earlier this year, closing out another chapter of an already dense career. The Reverb shop is the first major public-facing move since those exits — less a farewell and more a reckoning with what those years produced.
MusiCares Gets a Cut
The decision to route a portion of proceeds to MusiCares adds weight to what could otherwise read as a standard gear liquidation. MusiCares exists specifically to provide safety nets for music industry workers — financial assistance, addiction recovery resources, emergency relief. It's not a vanity charity. In a touring ecosystem where working musicians often have no safety net at all, the organization does real work.
Whether that was the deciding factor in going the Reverb route rather than direct auction isn't stated, but the combination of accessibility and charitable giving puts this closer to the Dave Grohl drum kit philosophy than the Sotheby's-auction end of the memorabilia market.
How to Get Notified
The shop goes live March 18 on Reverb. Email sign-up is available on the Reverb preview page for early access notifications. High-demand items — particularly the Slipknot-era SJC kits — are likely to move fast once the shop opens.
For those who've followed metal's recent wave of gear sales and limited collectibles, this one sits a tier above standard band merchandise. These are instruments with confirmed provenance, from documented tours and studio sessions, being sold directly by the musician who used them. That's not common.
