This is a very debated area.
Firstly not all drummers around the world are rated as not all put themselves out there and arent as publically noted so harder to be rated and some drummers although in their songs it sounds it fast it might not be and opposite way. However it also concerns wether hands or feet as they are both hard skills to master.
If you were looking for hands you'd be looking at punk and some metal groups:
For Example
Travis Barker - Blink 182
David Grohl - Nirvana
However if its feet you are interested in this is a completely different category. There are single foot and double foot peddlers and cannot be put into the same category.
For example single foot the standout would be:
Keith Moon - The Who
However double kick standouts include:
Thomas Lang - Solo artist
Joey Jordison - Slipknot
Lars Ulrich - Metallica
However if your looking for an overall performer on the drum kit in speed todays top three in order would coincide as such:
1. Joey Jordison - Murderdolls and Slipknot
2. "Moose" - Bullet for My Valentine
3. Inferno - Behemoth
4. Mike Mangini-Dream Theater
5. Mike Portnoy-Ex Dream Theater
Although these may not be the correct order these are todays fastest considered drummers.
