I like what he does and do not wish to "roast" his skills, but all the drummers in this list are far better then him, without saying he's bad!

 

[Seth Munson]

I dont even know what to say.

 

[Forceps]

Seems like Slipknot is a popular band still.... I got spammed all over the place the last days to vote for Joey (Facebook, MySpace, e-mail....). So I guess it's not only who's the best drummer, but also who has the best marketing techniques...

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

So much wrong with that list.

Grohl and Barker are higher than Gadd?

 

[drew_drummer]

Danny Carey is not even on the list. Ergo the list is bullshit.

 

[GarethSE]

Joey's not that bad a drummer, I don't get all the hate. Sure, he plays in a band tailored for angry 14 year olds and he has very little control and flails around like an absolute spastic, but he at least has an identifiable style that is pretty unique to him, better than can be said for most musicians.

 

[_Brutalism_]

Da fuck?! uke:

Sean Reinert motherfuckers! and fucking Hoglan! And why is Thomas Lang so low?

WHAT THE FUCK!

 

[AllanD]

Gene Hoglan isn't number 1, OR ON THE LIST FOR THAT MATTER?


This list is no longer valid.

 

[Harry Hughes]

I'd like to think Reinert would be on the list too, but let's get real folks, it's part popularity and part how much influence they've had on rock music in general.
He might not be a super virtuoso drummer, but Dave Grohl is one definitely one of my top 20 favorites. A solid player who could easily walk into a studio and nail his shit in probably 3 takes max.
Being able to play simpler shit perfectly > trying to play more technical shit but never being able to ever play it properly and precisely every time.

 

[theRev]

Oh, come on... I mean... Look at number 6... It really sums up how bad this is.

We should debate on the top 100 best guitarists of all time, If my memory serves well was a Rolling Stone top 100. There was Kurt Cobain on top of A LOT OF really better guitarists...

 

[joelplagues]

Didn't see Steve Smith on the list .... WTF!

He is the kind of guy thats always trying to out do himself which to me shows great musicianship. fuck when he gets bored and wants to learn something new he fly's to a country and learns with locals and natives.

how does someone of his calibre get bored and yet still find new things to learn? dont think many of the other guys are as good or as dedicated to the drums as this man.

 

[Fabbio]

I don't get it.
This discussion is irrelevant, lists on magazines are there for two reasons. Marketing and filling space when not enough features fill all the pages.

 

[FirstStrikeIsDeadly]

haha. fucking pathetic.

Lombardo, Hoglan, Reinert, Tempesta, Duplantier...and then we'll talk.

 

[ratsapprentice]

these two = win

 

[GeertSamuel]

Never seen this vid before. Eric Moore vs Derek Roddy... Best thing about this video is to see that both these drummers have their origin in complete different styles, but both are so well skilled next to their own genre that they just rip at everything they do.
