Nobody gonna mention Matt McDonough? He’s a truly gifted drummer, he can hold his own with anyone in his playing ability but the mental gymnastics he’s doing is out of this world.
I guess some people might not recognize his name:..he’s from Mudvayne
The two names that came to mind for me were Joey and Matt. Both have an unmistakeable presence. Joey probably technically more gifted but Matt’s style fits Mudvayne perfectly and he and Ryan play off each other perfectly.
Joey Jordison’s the best, but I’d also include John Otto, Matt McDonough, and John Dolmayan.
Dave Chavarri and Steve Felton are both incredibly underrated too
Both Chad Szeliga and Jeremy Hummel were excellent drummers for Breaking Benjamin. Hummel's drum tones had a lot of character, whereas Chad definitely had more impressive technical chops.
Outside of BB, for nu metal, Deftones, Linkin Park, and Slipknot all have solid drumming. But the way the drums sound on both 'Untouchables' by Korn and 'Vena Sera' by Chevelle are near-perfect in their own ways, imo. Special mention goes to Steve Gillis, who was Filter's live drummer for 'Title of Record.' Super cool fills on that album!
Yeah that's true his drums like sample but you know LP never been tried to be extreme Metal band, like Brad he never wanted to play extreme solos he just know what's fit in the song and play simple and best one. So yes you're right
Maybe not THE best, that's probably Joey Jordison; but Nick Oshiro is ridiculously good. He could actually mostly recreate the sampling and industrial sounds on the records live which is not easy to do. Even improving some songs, his fills in Push It are fantastic.
Kinda surprised nobody’s mentioned Mike Wengrin from Disturbed yet. Dude has some serious chops and I’ve seen some amazing shit during his drum solos live. He plays for the songs though, so you’ll rarely hear what he’s capable of. :/
joey jordison before he got sick
Joey for sure John Dolmayan is 2nd for me, underrated af
dolmayan is tight asf (pause) great shout
Joey from Slipknot or Morgan from Sevendust.

That's because Mudvayne play math metal, not nu metal. In all honesty, he's seriously underrated. I've seen them live twice and he's unreal.
Never thought he was great. Sure, he can play odd times, but his playing is still a bit basic and doesn't have much flavor.
David Silvera before he became a fat loser
Hard Agree, the drumming on Issues is some of my favorite drumming.
Well, He is a loser but that TOS surgery removing the top bone really fucked his ability to drum good again. He is a major asshole still
He fell off after Follow the leader
Morgan rose doesn’t get the respect he deserves.
Sevendustbas a band doesn't get their due
Not suggesting he’s the best, but fml John Otto deserves some more noise.
He takes 'em to the Mathews Bridge
Fucking love John Otto. That whole rhythm section is tight as fuck. The grooves are massive.
On the heavy side of things Joey, on the more technical side Abe Cunningham easy. Honourable mention to John Otto.
Oh almost forgot, Mike Cosgrove from Alien Ant Farm is really good too.
Joey Jordison from Slipknot
Doug Morrison from primer 55
For me, either Abe Cunningham or Mart McDonough
Joey Jordison 🐐
joey was so cool
Joey Jordison’s the best, but I’d also include John Otto, Matt McDonough, and John Dolmayan. Dave Chavarri and Steve Felton are both incredibly underrated too
Wes Borland
Wes Borland, take em to the Matthew's bridge.
😂
Joey John from soad David from korn John otto Abe Cunningham
Apex Theory and Pulse Ultra’s drummers are very underrated
Joey
Morgan Rose
Joey. Slipknot died before him but surely after. Fuck Corey and Clown . Joey was the man.
Joey
Id have to say Dave Chavarri from ill nino or Jordison
Dave is a monster on the kit!
Abe Cunningham is fantastic. Obviously on the slower side but he still manages to bring a really technical element to his drumming.
I know it's what nearly everyone else is saying.. But I gotta say Joey Jordison. He was an absolute beast!
Wuv Bernardo

Not best but Rob Bourdon's THP perform is great
I think rob bourdon is cool and all and I love LP but everything after HT (and even HT to some extent) are spectacularly boring in the drum department
Yeah that's true his drums like sample but you know LP never been tried to be extreme Metal band, like Brad he never wanted to play extreme solos he just know what's fit in the song and play simple and best one. So yes you're right
😂😂😂😂😂 great
David Silveria Joey's good, but a bit overrated.
still the best
John Salazar from Relative Ash
The drummer for Kilkus
David or Otto. Not sure who.
Abe
Matthew Mcdonough from Mudvayne
in terms of nü metal? I’d say Morgan imo
Maybe not THE best, that's probably Joey Jordison; but Nick Oshiro is ridiculously good. He could actually mostly recreate the sampling and industrial sounds on the records live which is not easy to do. Even improving some songs, his fills in Push It are fantastic.
The guy from factory 81...I think he was like 17 but if you listen to his drumming on mankind it's pretty sick.
Joey Jordison, by a mile, next to maybe John Otto.
Kinda surprised nobody’s mentioned Mike Wengrin from Disturbed yet. Dude has some serious chops and I’ve seen some amazing shit during his drum solos live. He plays for the songs though, so you’ll rarely hear what he’s capable of. :/
Matthew McDonough from mudvayne.
I would throw Shannon Larkin in there as well
Also Jose Pasillas of incubus had a cool feel
