Rhythm Announce Greatest Drummer

Sep, 1 2010

Which rock musician who became famous as the drummer of an internationally successful band before becoming the frontman of a hugely successful side-project has just been named as the greatest drummer of the last 25 years? It's Joey Jordison of Slipknot and Murderdolls fame; of course, because that's not a picture of Dave Grohl (right). Jordison was ranked No.1 by drummers' magazine Rhythm (Grohl was ranked fifth), who praised his "mind-blowing technicality and ability to bolster any project with his unique sound and style." "This is beyond unbelievable," Jordison said on hearing the news. "Something like this reminds me every day why I continue to do this." Meanwhile, Slipknot's DJ -- #0, DJ Moonboots, Ratboy, Munky, DJ Starscream, or Sid to his mum -- has been talking about his upcoming debut solo album. "There's a strong B-Boy influence in my music, 'cause I'm a DJ," he told Billboard.com. "I used to listen to a lot of Skinny Puppy and more mainstream things that came out of industrial, like Nine Inch Nails. I was always influenced by the Beastie Boys a lot and Run-DMC and the way they mixed their rock influences in their hip-hop stuff." The self-titled Sid Wilson will be released in the fall when a record deal has been finalized.
