London: Joey Jordison who is famous for simultaneously playing two bass drums, has been voted the best drummer in the last 25 years in a UK poll.

Jordison plays with masked metal band Slipknot. Jordison was competing with Nirvana and Foo Fighters` Dave Grohl and Phil Collins in the poll conducted by UK magazine Rhythm. The 35-year-old said he was "at a loss for words". "This is beyond unbelievable. Something like this reminds me every day why I continue to do this," the BBC quoted him as saying. Second on the poll, which drew 100,000 votes, was Mike Portnoy of US prog-metal band Dream Theater and third spot was Gavin Harrison of Hemel Hempstead rockers Porcupine Tree.
