Drum Gods: Homage to the Great Rock 'n Roll Drummers
In our opinion here at Exposure Online Magazine, drummers do not get the recognition they deserve. Everyone knows about all the great singers and guitarists in the rock world but you rarely hear about the guys pounding the skins at the back of the stage. They are the great unknown musicians. But without them what would a band do? Without a beat lying down the foundation of their music they would be lost.

We will try to correct this injustice by featuring a series of articles in the magazine on the drummers we believe are deserving of high praise. These are the guys who young musicians taking up drumming for the first time found their inspiration. These are the guys that can take over a stage and make fans go nuts. These are Exposure Online Magazine's DRUM GODS!!

How better to start off this series than with the drummer of a band that takes the art to the extreme. Slipknot has drums up the ying-yang and Joey Jordison leads this motley crew of masked percussionists.

Jordison has been drumming since he was three years old. Arguably the greatest speed drummer in metal history, Jordison burns calories like no other when playing live on a Slipknot concert tour. Not only does he hit the skins like few others, he also plays lead guitar (in The Murderdolls) and is an amateur artist (he drew the symbols for Slipknot's logos).
