aching had little effect on the hygroscopicity of the Western redcedar heartwood. Extractive-impregnated Pacific silver fir blocks had increased resistance to decay by two brown-rot fungi, and showed resistance similar to that of Western redcedar heartwood. However, leached blocks did not have the same decay resistance.

“The first time I heard Slipknot was when I was in Monte Conner’s office (Roadrunner A&R who signed Slipknot and Soulfly),” Roy Mayorga recalls. This was winter 1997 and Roy had just finished recording with Soulfly. While living in New York he would often frequent the office of famed A&R guru Conner, but what he heard on that particular day has stuck in his head ever since.
While blown away by the whole band, it was the firecracker behind the kit who really grabbed Roy’s ear.
 His playing was like punk rock meets metal. The way he played, he had this attitude and push and pull on the tempos.
"I had never heard anyone like that. Usually with metal it is consistent and punchy but Joey was pushing and pulling the tempos, going incredibly fast and then downshifting to a slower groove.
What was it about Joey’s playing that was so inspirational?
“He had the whole package.  It was like my reaction to KISS in the 70s.
 But they were also amazing players. Jim, Mick, Paul…they were all amazing players. No other band had that magic.
He loved jazz as much as he adored metal, can you hear that eclecticism in his playing?
“I hear a little bit of that in his drumming, but I hear more punk than jazz. Maybe on some of the slower songs there is more jazz. Every drummer has a range of influences.
