Jordan Mancino, 25, is a drummer for the Metalcore band As I Lay Dying. He, along with vocalist Tim Lambesis, are the only founding members still with the band. He is well known for his fast yet very accurate double bass drumming that can be heard in a several of As I Lay Dying's songs such as "Nothing Left", "Comfort Betrays" and "94 Hours".
He was also the drummer for the new Sworn Enemy CD Maniacal.
[edit] Drum Gear
Jordan used Truth Custom Drums until about mid 2007 when Jordan Mancino began using a Pacific Drums and Percussion LXE series drum set with one rack tom, two floor toms and two bass drums.
Jordan Mancino was spotted using DW drums as early as October 2007 at Loud Park in Tokyo, Japan. Now Jordan uses DW Drums, Remo Drum heads, Pro-Mark TX747BW Super Rock sticks, Zildjian A Custom Projection cymbals and DW 5000 series pedals and DW 9000 series hardware.
He does not use triggers when drumming. This makes him much more respectable, as opposed to the drummer in As Blood Runs Black, in their song "My Fears Have Become Phobias"
[edit] Personal Life
- He has an older brother named Jason. He is a fan of all things Christian and Disney.
- He was also featured on Drum Nation Volume 3 featuring on the song "Ahh.. The Fade Out".
- Jordan loves the SNES game "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" and played it throughout the summer of 2002, pausing occasionally to eat and play shows.
