I strongly believe that the rhythm section is the backbone of any great band. Sure vocals and guitars always get noticed first, but really bass and drums are the secret weapon to most great bands. I have picked 10 stand out drummers and this was (like all the other year end choices) very hard to choose because 2025 gave us such a plethora of awesome music. Care to see who made the cut?? Let’s take a look………
10 Standout Drummers:
- Inferno- Behemoth
- Paulina Villareal- The Warning
- Jasmine Day- Unpolished*
- Adrian Erlandsson- The Haunted
- Kyla Foster- The Anti Groupies
- Abe Cunningham- Deftones
- Adam Carson- AFI
- Ryan Sebold- Archeons
- Chris Dovas- Testament
- Akane Hirose- Band-Maid
Much like the other Year End picks, all of these bands have released something this year and definitely go, give their albums a listen. If this is what they’re giving us in 2025 I am very excited to hear what’s in store for 2026!!!!
