13. Joey Jordison

This list just wouldn't be complete without the reigning king of metal and the winner of Rhythm's readers poll for The 20 Greatest Drummers Of The Last 25 Years - the man in the mask, Joey Jordison. Playing with Slipknot, Joey brought the blastbeat to the masses and if you're lucky, you might have caught him in action on the road with Rob Zombie recently.

As the last Slipknot record bears testament, Joey is never content to play verse/chorus/repeat but crafts unique drum parts for every section of his songs. Plus he's furiously fast and frighteningly loud.

Next: Dennis Chambers
