Being such a music junkie I appreciate musicians who are talented, unique and can play their instruments to a level that many cannot compete with. A good drummer is the real backbone of any good band. In fact, a drummer can make or break a band, especially if the band is one that relies heavily on drums. In my opinion some of the best drummers out there now are deathmetal drummers, and many of the best came from a jazz background. This list is not just deathmetal drummers but some of them are, then the rest come from many different genres of music. There are so many amazing drummers currently playing and this is just a small sample of them, it is not meant to be the 10 best drummers ever. If you enjoy underground metal and other forms of underground music I highly recommend Capital Underground Online Radio.
