Who are Slipknot’s fans?
We head down to Slipknot’s Here Comes The Pain tour in Manchester to meet the Maggots that had their lives changed forever by nine masked men from the cornfields…
Watch this mini Maggot air drum his arms off at a recent Slipknot show in the UK
A five-year-old drummer has gone viral for his incredible Slipknot air drumming skills.
The video, originally shared on Twitter has been viewed almost 6 million times and retweeted over 72,000 times.
"This little kid is 5 years old, didn’t miss a beat all night. So sick!" said Ronnie Young, who posted the clip.
The video shows the young Maggot on someone's shoulders hammering away at his air drums to Psychosocial during a recent UK show.
Slipknot drummer Jay Weinberg also shared the clip, with the message "My MAN 🤘🏻🥁🤘🏻🥁🤘🏻".

The five-year-old has been identified as Caleb H, whose Twitter bio says is "a music mad 5 year old drummer who’s been playing since age 2," and is a huge fan of Slipknot, Foo Fighters and Evanescence.
Jay also reached out to SJC Drums on Twitter to try and get Caleb to a new snare drum. The internet is actually a nice place, sometimes.
Slipknot are currently touring the UK as part of their European We Are Not Your Kind tour. Get your tickets here.
