My Take

Fehn was a huge part of Slipknot's chaotic visual and sonic identity, one half of that custom percussion section, beating on beer kegs and trading hits while bouncing around the stage with that unmistakable Pinocchio mask. The custom drums aren't a gimmick, they add a tribal, industrial layer you genuinely feel in the chest live. He embodied the controlled mayhem that made Slipknot a live phenomenon. The way it ended, in court over money, was a sour note for fans who'd watched the band's nine maggots feel like a brotherhood. Still, his stamp on that era of the band is undeniable.

Overview

Chris Fehn is an American musician best known as a former percussionist and backing vocalist for the heavy metal band Slipknot. Performing under the number 3 and his signature long-nosed mask, he was part of the band's distinctive custom-percussion section for nearly two decades. He departed Slipknot in 2019 amid a legal dispute over the band's business arrangements.
