Slipknot's Joey Jordison Sells Drum Sticks Signed With His Own Blood

Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison has penned a drum stick endorsement deal with a unique twist - each set of sticks is signed with his own blood!

The 34-year-old has teamed up with drum stick makers Pro Mark and has personally donated his own vein juice to promote his Autograph Series model.

Jordison visited the manufacturers where they took some of his blood and mixed it with the permanent ink.

He commented: "The first wood stick I ever played was a Pro-Mark, so I’m thrilled to be joining the family! To show everyone just how serious I am about my new signature 515s, I’ve even gone as far as putting my own blood in the ink for them. It's not just my signature on these sticks, it's me."

The limited-edition TX515W model drum sticks go on sale from May 15. For more details click here.

Thanks for the report to Gigwise.com.

he's mixing a little bit of blood into the ink, they're not going to be signed in 100% blood. Vai did it with his guitars a while back.

[paddypadman]

Lame...

[\m/(-_-)\m/]

Kiss did this when they made their comics.

[Pessimisticall]

tahts awesome

[ofXoneblood]

it's a shame most people won't realize that they'll still suck after they buy these, which i'm sure will be more expensive.

[acetherockstar]

[Martindecorum]

[SnareSG50]

Hahaha!!!

[BugrahanGedik]

Steve Vai did the same thing, but with the paint of some signature guitar of his..

A percentage of the paint on those guitars is of Steve's blood!

[offspring_punk]

A real man would put some of his semen into the ink...

fixed. this is retarded.

[sawn666]

emo. loLz.

[RX120D]

You guys don't understand. The blood is in the ink. The stick is sprayed with a sealer afterwards. You won't actually be touching his blood unless you scrape off the sealer.

[nyzki]

Ok every rock band has a gimmick, but this is really gross. Even if the sticks only contain a small percentage of his blood. And I am sure that they cost a fortune just because they have his blood.

[Vypor]

get some of joeys blood in you and your kids may just turn out like joey

[kevinm4435]

this blood should be going to people, not drumsticks.

Yep +1. Is cool though.

if he donated his blood i'm pretty sure it would fail the blood exam..... supposing all the drugs and alcohol he consumes

dud ehtats ****ed up, SICK

[<Paper Cuts>]

LOL nice...
I love how he seems so cheerful about it, too...
and the article about Slipknot making kids cut themselves is kind of ironic.

[( o )===#]

dumbest shit ive ever heard
but then again, he is a metal "musician"

[Darkblast]

Dont hurt yourself joey! Bwahaha!

I second that

[darkfire_storm]

you know, just because there's blood doesn't mean it has AIDS in it. i think it's funny how people think of exposed blood and no matter what, they have AIDS or hepatitis. this is a little disturbing, but at the same time, that's unique and pretty badass. although i too am confused as to how he's going to donate enough for a mass produced item.

if you think that he's not a musician, try playing pretty much anything by him. he's a legendary drummer, and metal musicians are some of the most talented and knowledgeable players in the world. way more musically fluent and versed than the stupid poppy crap you listen to.

[Gh057]

Is it just me that finds it ironic that they recently said their music doesn't encourage "self harm" ??

The drummer in my band bought a set of them, Its a tiny little signature, mixed with ink. one vial or sample of his blood could easily be good for like, 300 sticks.

[laxjoe101]

that is the most retarded thing ever, who the hell would want to hold a drumstick with blood on it!? its gross

[nfrench7fold]

I personally will buy them for the purpose of making Joey Jordison clones with drum sticks for fingers.
