“Yoshiki Hayashi... a composer, pianist, drummer, band leader and music producer who puts his life on stake for the sake of his music. He put his passion, aggression, soul and emotions utterly into every piece of music he plays.
No other artist is as brave as him, putting his music beyond his own limit, with the music itself, undoubtedly breathtaking, deep, beautiful, as dark as a devil’s sin and as serene as an angel’s heart.
He injured his own neck and wrist during the drumplay, and yet didn’t stop him on playing like a beast once he’s seated behind the set.”
“Yoshiki...
the genius drummer & pianist from Japan
u should listen & watch his skill”
“Never heard Yoshiki Hayashi? OMG you should listen, and watch his show or concert with his band X Japan. His drum skill is kicking ass! So far I haven’t know who can beat his speed, skill and stamina behind that drum sets. HE DESERVES TO BE NUMBER ONE!”

“The Greatest Ever! He Is God On The Drums!”
“NEIL IS THE BEST!”
“This poll is accurate and fun. Neil is the master of rhythm, percussion, beat, and, yes, timbre. When they make "The Neil Peart Story" movie, Tom Hanks gets the lead.”

“Most of his songs look simple but they all are impossible to replicate. He’s just the all time best in the all time best band - Led Zeppelin”
“he’s a genius just listen to moby dick!”
“John Bonham is the greatest drummer in history period. he is better than neil pert because although neil pert is fast an everything, bonham has timing an never misses a beat. its like listening to a metronome doing a drum solo. listen to moby dick, the high hat is moving up and down the whole song, and is never out of beat. he is the greatest, and should be ahead of pert

“He rocks. Plain, and simple. Each song of Dir en Grey has a beat that just brings it so much life. Shinya is amazing.”
“Being the precussion master for a metal band, you would expect just heavy banging, but Shinya takes a different road by displaying his amazing talent in ways making every song wonderfully unique.”
“Shinya is a god when it comes to the drums. He is better than any american drummer I have heard and he can drum even if he is a twig.”

“The guy is SICK! Have you seen how fast of a drummer he is? I think he is easily one of the best drummers in history... I personally think he is better than Travis Barker and John Bonham, and possibly Neil Peart.”
“he have very fast feet and hands”
“HELLO? have you seen how fast his hands and his feet move?! its all about the wrist... He rocks!”

“Metallica is the greatest rock Band
because they have the greatest Drummer
!”
“Lars rarely gets his due amount of credit I think mostly because of the napster controversy, but if you over look it, you will see he’s just a great drummer”
“. . . ahhh Lars is a classic. . . he hits every snare and cymbal (and theres a lot of them) perfectly and really hard. . . his drums sound awesome. . love the double bass drum kick on the song ’One’. . .”

Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan (Avenged Sevenfold)
“The Rev Is my idol I am also a drummer and I love him. I think he deserves to be higher. He is a double bass drum God!”
“everyone else has nothing on him. he is the greatest drummer since Bonham of Led Zepplin”
“The Rev is the best modern day drummer. He is like Jesus, but in the form of a drummer. Unlike other heavy metal drummers, he doesn’t jus do the same double bass beat over and over again. He uses his hands and feet to make the song insane. Listen to Darkness Surrounding, the drum solo is incredible, and he is changing the beat constantly, thats what makes him great. I am a huge Avenged Sevenfold fan, and have all of their albums, and I am drummer myself, and the Rev is my idol. He should deffenitly be ahead of Joey Jordinson, and half the people on this list.”
