Domino Santantonio Hears Slipknot For The First Time

So naturally, we challenged her to play one of the metal band’s most popular songs.
Domino Santantonio is known for her upbeat pop drum covers of artists like Dua Lipa and SAINt JHN. For her, drumming to metal would be like trying to speak a language without being fluent.
But we love encouraging drummers to get outside of their comfort zone, and Domino was up for it. Though she opted not to use the double pedal we set up on her kit, she found a way to make Slipknot’s “Before I Forget” her own (get the full song transcription in Drumeo).
Without knowing Joey Jordison‘s famous drum part in advance, Domino managed to hit many of the punches. And while some of her ideas were very different from the original drum part she still made some accurate guesses.
Watch the video to see how she builds her parts, reevaluates her decision-making, and explains her thought process. You’ve never heard Slipknot like this before!

Jesus, the contrast between her “I have no idea what I’m doing!” energy and her “I’ve got this” performance was off the charts. As soon as she found the groove she was off to the races. Stunning performance. I love this series!
-
This is the best genre of drumeo videos. Keep them coming!
-
Fact that’s she’s doing all this with one pedal is impressive and came damn close to the actual song. I’m super impressed.
-
It clicked for her and when her instincts took over, that was fucking MAGIC! Incredible job, absolutely floored. Drumless track, 1 pedal, and she gives us this? standing ovation
-
she didnt even hear the drums and got this close to the actual beat. she killed it!!!
-
She seemed a little disappointed in herself in the end, but she absolutely crushed it in that final take. Crazy how artists are never satisfied with their work.
-
She’s wayyyyyy too humble at the end. She absolutely killed it!
-
I like how she goes from being completely lost one second to having a solid groove almost immediately.
-
This blew my mind. Not only did she get real close to the original, she did it with one pedal. Incredible.
-
Man, what a difficult assignment for a non-metal drummer. I am honestly impressed she did so well.
-
She nailed 90+% of the song's feel with a kit a fraction of Joey's to boot. Really loved her take at the bridge... her ends truly justified her means! Bravo!
-
Not only she's solid and proficient, but most of all, she has a great ear, and when she was in the groove, she perfectly captured the emotional push and pull of the song. Great musician and a magnificent performance! She's way too hard on herself
-
She's way too humble, she was bloody brilliant at this
-
As a metal drummer, if you give me a pop song I'm just going to put metal drums over it. She put down some serious metal grooves which is even more impressive now that I've listened to her normal stuff.
-
It blows my mind on how much I like the improvised versions, really cool what they’re doing
-
Not only one pedal but literally a third of the kit Joey had. Awesome job!!
-
Her professionalism shines through, very articulate attempt. Joey had an extreme attunement to the metal he was playing, very high bar to come in blind to.
-
Commenters here not realizing that she’s literally listening to a DRUMLESS TRACK. The fact that she got so close to the vibe is legit great. Love this.

My grandpa use to work in the Ludwig factory, he passed away from lung cancer… anyone who rocks Ludwig has a special spot in my heart 🤘🏼
