Fastest Drum Soloists
I see his solo in YouTube and he is incredibly fast. He can play piano as well.
His presence, his dramatic stuff and his brutal speed makes him the top!
Joey Is The Best. Everyone always argues with me about him not being the fastest double kick drummer in the world, but I've listened to 20,000 metal and hard rock bands and my ears tell me he's the fastest. Just Listen to the song "Sulfur". The only other drummer I could think that comes close is the Here Comes The Kraken guy. Listen to "The Legend Of The Rent".
Where re all the maggots? This guy, with that short pair of hands and feets hits those drums so fast, it makes the whole world slow down. He's a 5.5 feet of drumming disaster. Hail joey
If you've ever heard of Slipknot, you will definitely not argue that he has some insane talent, especially in speed. Even if he's not THE fastest drummer, he is definitely up there
Joey is the fastest drummer I have ever heard. Whenever I try to copy him my arms start to go numb and my legs start shaking. If you disagree, listen to vendetta
What... World's officially fastest drummer on 26... Man lars ulrich on 5.. I can't believe it... There's no frost( satyricon ) or inferno ( behemoth ) on this list. Very bad.. Even the drummer for morbid angel & all that remains is faster than lars, van halen or others.. I can only agree with joey. In the list above.. Rest are slow and mangini the fastest
This guy is actually officially the fastest drummer ever, at least the fastest that's a professional musician. With one hand, he can play way faster than Lars Ulrich can with two (though I love Lars Ulrich and Metallica) and as fast if not faster than most of the guys in the top 5.
People voting on names alone is useless. Please listen to other drummers and their style before voting. Example is Mr. Joey Jordison. He has never played at this guy speed and people claim he should be number 1, why, cause he plays for slipknot not because he deserves it.
This guy is not human. The Chuck Norris of drummers. Just check out his song "Aeons of Burning Galaxies" and you'll see what I mean.
He is the fastest drummer of all! And he uses single feet only! Watch his videos and they gonna convince you!
He is by far the fastest drummer I have ever watched. And I am a drummer myself.
Nobody is as fast as Neal, since Buddy Rich
Watch His YYZ Drum Solo You Will Freak!
It's Neil not Neal
I suppose the only reason francesco paoli is not leading this list is the fact that he is not as famous as most of the other drummers yet. just listen to his INSANE blastbeats in "The Violation" or the precision in "Minotaur"...
Yeah, this man was so awesome. he can combine his speed, odd time signature, jamming and also his brain to make a good drum play. I think he can be compared with no one..
He does not even come close to Buddy Rich, the greatest.
He or Buddy Rich... Contemporary vs. Before their time
I've watched youtube videos of most of the drummers on the list and none of them come close to matching what Buddy Rich was able to do with just a basic drum kit... I don't care for Jazz which is what he played but damn, just watch what he does.. So what if you can double bass your ass off which is what most of todays drummers do... it's the hand speed and coordination that makes a great musician!
I've played drums professionaly for over 20 years and I have to say Buddy Rich was the best drummer to ever draw breath! No one comes close. He had the control, finess and most definitely the SPEED! There are many amazing drummers out there ( Carl Palmer, etc) but Buddy was a major cut above all others. These young guys with their fast double bass work are so one dimensional they are not worthy of kissing Buddy's drumsticks.
His use of numerous advanced techniques gave him virtuosic speed, among various other skills. It was as though he didn't even have to try to be fast, as though the stick and drumhead simply respond to his thought. No other drummer has ever mastered the single stroke roll to his level of command.
Why is Buddy Rich one rank above Phill Rudd, who as far as I'm concerned, has never even DONE a drum solo?
People may hate Lars Ulrich because of the whole napster thing. But people need to realize that even if he is not the fastest drummer ever, he was influential to many upcoming drummers. Listen to "One" "Motorbreath" and "Sad But True" and you can really see Lars shine.
You know that another drummer recorded a few Metallica songs, because they were to fast for him, right?
Not only are his double bass parts extremely fast he also plays over 200 beats in a minute in studio songs, not to mention his incredible solos
Hits the double base drums faster than a sprinter running.
He is the best of all time. He has inspired many of musicians to play drums. He is known for his amazing work in Led Zeppelin as well as his solo, "Moby Dick."
Bonzo was great. He was very original but he was no comparison to Buddy who was the Greatest drummer of all time. Period!
Bonzo was original and great but nowhere near the talent of Buddy Rich!
Bonzo should be #1
he plays so fast you can't even see him!
Vote Roger on the top, come on Queen fans all over the world!
DATE of BIRTH is INCORRECT!
Roger's date of birth: 26 July 1949
Mama just killed a man
Come on Queen fans!
COME ON!
Alex deserves a better place, he is a shredder on drums!
What he brought to Van Halen kept the group alive.
Hot For Teacher
If Lars Ulrich can be second in this list Rev DESERVES TO BE NO. 1! It does not matter wether you are young or old! What matters is wether you are talented or not! And Rev had a lot of talent! RIP!
I think the Rev had a little more creativity than Joey.
He is the best drummer ever period.
THIS IS WRONG REV IS NUMBER 1 foREVer
Awesome drummer... Fastest, correct, very determined... Love to see his seriousness while playing drums...
His hands move like the wings of a hummingbird... Nothing more to say
one of the fastest drummers in japan
Tommy Lee is scuzzy but he plays drums.
Tommy Lee sucks.
This Guy Is Awesome. Look Up One Of His Solo's And You Will Be Impressed!
Check out won't get fooled again, it's amazing!
He is very amazing!, with his drum.. VERY FAST!, no one defeat him, no one who could beat him, even though Joey Jordison has the speed when stepping on the pedal.
But R.I.P Jimmy The Rev Sullivan only the number one from the other!
