Top 15 Rock/Metal Drummers

Drummer for Slipknot. Joey Jordison is my favorite drummer. Being a drummer myself, he is the one who I idealize the most. His intricate blend of technical and speed drumming make any of his songs worth a listen. His live performances are just as good if not bettert then his studio stuff. Side-note: He also plays for guitar for the Murderdolls.

Drummer for ex.Dream Theater/Adrenaline Mob. My dads favorite drummer, I grew up listening to a lot of Dream Theater and therefore listening to Mike. The very best techincal drummer alive, his songs can sometimes be too much for the casual listener to handle. Listening to his songs will make you say, "How in the hell did he do that?"

Drummer for Divine Heresy/Nile. The overall fastest drummer I have ever heard in my life. Not the most technical, but he gets the job done. His double bass and snare beats are out of this world.

Drummer for Slayer. The originator of the speed drumming. His drumming is something to see. And the fact he can still drum that fast today like he did 30 years ago is amazing.

Drummer for System of A Down. A very good drummer. His hi-hat/ snare work is some of the hardest drumming you will ever listen to. Its so off time and off rhthym that its simply just beautiful.
