Joey Jordison is a famous musician who started become well known for his drumming with the increasing popularity of his primary band "Slipknot". He is primarily known for his drumming talents in the band "Slipknot" and being the guitarist and backing vocals for the band "Murderdolls".
Although everyone calls him over rated and not a good drummer, this is very untrue. He is not the best drummer in the world, but he is one of the best. His drumming style is comprised of many different original and unique techniques. He is most well noted for his use of 2's and 4's over bassdrum triplets that he uses in a lot to most of the bands songs. As well, he incorporates many other drumming techniques and does not only focus on one certain kind.
Jordison is often criticized by metal fans that listen to death metal and feel that if you don't use blast beats in every song you must not be a good drummer. Some of these drummers could be George Kollias, Derek Roddy, or any other death metal drummer.
To sum it up, Jordison is a very popular and GOOD drummer that is often criticized by people who know less about drumming that think speed is the only thing that matters in drumming. And although he is not the best, he is an extremely good well rounded drummer.

Mediocre-at-best drummer for NU METAL band Slipknot, who, despite not having any particularly exceptional talent, is heralded as "the fastest drummer ever" by Slipknot's legions of cretinous fans.
I mean, compared to other Nu Metal drummers, he's pretty good, but considering the Nu Metal genre as a whole, that isn't saying much.
I mean, seriously, what the fuck? Fastest drummer EVER? I don't think so.
For all those who remain unconvinced, check out Cryptopsy's None So Vile album. While it's almost guaranteed that nearly every run-of-the-mill Mallcore/Nu Metal kid will lack the capacity to appreciate cryptopsy's excellence, just focus on the drumming. If that doesn't eliminate this absurd conception that Joey Jordison is even close to ranking amongst the world's fastest drummers, then I don't think anything will.

Just go on youtube and search "Flo Mounier Rehearsing Phobophile." I would link directly to it but this asshole website won't let me.
So, there you have it. A rehearsal take from Phobophile, one of the songs on the aforementioned Cryptopsy album, None So Vile.
If, when compared against Joey Jordisons drumming, you still think that Joey's faster, then there's something wrong with you.
As an amusing side-note, not so long ago I heard a couple of Slipknot fans talking about how Joey was, in fact, the fastest drummer in the world... I just chuckled.
