The Most Influential Drummers of All Time

Jami Morgan (Code Orange)

Drummer/singer for the Pittsburg metal outfit Code Orange, the first metal band to come out after 2010 to have a billboard top 100 album, and the first modern metal band from the east to have a metal song on the Billboard Top 10 (Bleeding in the Blur, it was even played on Sports Center). If you like nu-metal crossover stuff, you should check out Jami's drumming style. 

James Beveridge (Portrayal of Guilt)

Beveridge holds down the chaotic-skramz band Portrayal of Guilt. He is another single kick blast beat drummer, and he’s absolutely nuts. Check out Portrayal of Guilt's Audiotree session if you want to witness their pure, raw energy.
