Jay Weinberg sent a special message to the five year old fan.
A video of a five year old Slipknot fan showing off his air drumming skills went viral this weekend and even caught the attention of Jay Weinberg himself.
Originally posted on Twitter by @RJDivine, the clip quickly spread gaining over 70k retweets and more than 6m views.
Watch the kid never miss a beat as the band play ‘Psychosocial’ on their UK arena run:
This little kid is 5 years old, didn’t miss a beat all night. So sick! pic.twitter.com/RU2GJWdVPJ

Nice work dude!
The fan was later idientified as Caleb H with his Twitter bio stating he is “a music mad 5 year old drummer who’s been playing since age 2”.
And not only did Jay Weinberg notice the video, he even offered to hook Caleb up with some new kit for good measure:
He’s got a bright future in drumming! Keep fostering his love for the instrument. Hey @SJCdrums, how about we hook up this young shredder Caleb with a new snare drum? https://t.co/kaPGDvQ2cC
