joey jordison? whats wrong with him
Im new to this site and it seems like everyone here thinks they are the s**t when they have a swing at joey jordison, what is so bad about him? i can totally understand if u dont like his style, personally for metal drummers i think the guy from mudvayne (i cant remember his name) is the way to go. but for skill i think he is like a german engineered machine, he's just crazily precise with the timing and strength of hits. i dont care if u dont like him, but can someone justify it to me why they dont like him, other than they dont like his style. also watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy1YaLe1D0E its a clip of "purity" by slipknot and look at the beat in the verse, that would have to be one of the most impressive beats, i personally, have seen. cheers

I watched it twice... how come he doesn't play his signature snare drum?

It's all opinions. I personally find that he can be overrated and that all these people I know think that I need to buy all his signature crap because he owns.
He's good for the music he plays and stuff, but there are better metal drummers out there IMO.

Not a "beat", but I tend to think this is pretty damn impressive.

I stood 20 feet from him playing that "beat" last year.... Boggles the mind! It is MUCH more complex than it sounds!

I learned that groove. Took me forever.
When I finally learned it, I was so happy it was slightly frightening.
Gadd is probably one of my fave drummers.

i personally don't like JJ. im not saying he sucks, but that video was not impressive at all. it was just basic double bass beats. i have seen him do better than that, and he is good. i just don't like that kind of music, and i think he is a little overrated even though he has plenty of talent.

there is nothing wrong with Joey. you'll get the same response about lars ulrich and the rev too.

That's the first thing I've ever heard JJ play. Thanks for turning me on to him. He's got a great organic feel. I really like where he comes from. It's almost like Second-line drumming, what he plays.
