Kenneth "Ken Jay" Lacey (born June 10, 1971)[1] is an American musician, best known as the original drummer for Static-X.



Biography


Jay was born in Jamaica, Illinois.[1] Jay began playing drums early on and had played drums in a couple of metal bands early in his career in central Illinois before heading north to Chicago. Jay was the drummer in Deep Blue Dream, a band that also included Wayne Static and had auditioned at one point for Smashing Pumpkins but was told by Billy Corgan he was "too metal" to be in the band.[citation needed] He co-founded Static-X with Wayne Static in 1994. Jay played drums on the band's first two albums, Wisconsin Death Trip and Machine, but before Static-X could begin recording their third album, Shadow Zone, he left the band because of musical and political differences.[citation needed] However, Jay still contributed additional keyboards to the album.


Shortly after his departure, he joined Godhead as a replacement drummer for a brief time.[citation needed] He had kept out of the media limelight for several years.


In 2010, Jay stepped back into music to produce the debut album for Texas-based band, Blood Red Summer.[2] He connected with the band through their guitar player, Erik Fincher, who had worked with Jay at a Virgin Records store in Los Angeles, CA, and later became Static-X's long time guitar tech.


On October 23, 2018, it was announced that Jay – along with the other two surviving original members, bassist Tony Campos and guitarist Koichi Fukuda – would reunite with Static-X, who plan to release a new album and tour in 2019 in honor of the memory of Wayne Static.[3]
