Sick Drummer Magazine – Favorite Drumming Albums of 2020

We are pleased to release the Sick Drummer Magazine Favorite Drumming Albums of 2020! Our team has gone back and forth over a few different lists and have decided on these records. They are NOT in any particular order of most to least favorite, but a list alphabetized by the drummer’s first name. Our team considered creativity, groove, originality, musicality, finesse, speed, technicality, and several other factors when compiling our list. We apologize in advance to those we may not have heard… or overlooked. It’s been a crazy year.

Let’s all show our appreciation for these outstanding performances by these outstanding drummers. With the shitstorm 2020 has been for all of us, and the music industry, in particular, we are honored and excited to have these records to listen to and learn from. Please share the links to your favorites, and if you are able, purchase some records and/or merchandise from these artists. Every little bit helps.

Thanks to all these Sick Drummers for giving us such amazing works to enjoy, learn from, and share.
