Arejay Hale from Halestorm wins this award competin with other Drumers. I just know Halestorm from a couple of months and I think is one of my favorites!
Hey guys thanks for all the positive comments 😂😂😂 hahahaaaaaa! Sigh* oh well, haters gonna hate but in my opinion this should be the award for best fans a guy in a band could ever ask for 😉 I love you guys and thank you for making this crazy kid's dream come true!!🤘
Arejay is by far one of the best drummer's ive seen in a while, he fucking kicks ass!!!! Got to see halestorm at Rock on the Range, They was awesome, Love Arejay!
have you ever seen his drum solo live? It's amazing! It doesn't matter how the drums look like, the talent matters.. I'm sure every one who was nominated would have deserved winning this thing but obviously the majority voted for Arejay.. so congrats!!
This is pretty interesting. I see the date on this is from 2013. So looking back on this to where Arejay and Halestorm is today he positively deserved to win this award. Halestorm if i am not mistaking won a grammy and just kicks major ass. They are what is needed in music today. I love Rush and Peart but again this if from 2013 and Peart has since retired. Things change and you have to make way for new bands and drummers. Arejay has come along way and from the videos i have watched he was bad ass when he first hit the scene so no reason to hate or be pissed that the other drummers didn't win. First off i don't like drumming competitions for this exact reason. Second: People don't seem to get that its not about how fast you can play rudiments and beats etc. Its 2 things. Having well written songs and a solid band and what parts you come up with to serve the song. It has nothing to do with burning everything you play. Thats why Arejay and Halestorm is where they are. They are a great band with great songs and an awesome show.
its a good thing that he won. i don't like the fact that he won but, guys like neil peart will always be there. if the best keep winning, guys like arejay would never get the chance.
I agree Im a die hard Rush fan and a Die hard Neil fan but you cant put people like Arejay in (even though he is an amazing drummer) a poll with Neil with out causing trouble
I could see arjey, Neil, or gene getting this. I guess arjey got it cause he's youngest and newest. Neil pearls already or plenty of awards. They can't keep spitting out the same names.
Agreed, But all the other guys had albums out within the last year of this award show. And I'd say at least two of these dudes deserve over them.. I went and checked out a solo by this dude.. He's like a poor metal version of Mitch Mitchell. Which... Is still good in my book lol. I just don't think he should have beat those other guys.
Ohhhh... Is it decided by fan votes or by a panel of experts??.. Either way... When that guy beats out Gene Hoglan and Neil Pert. I don't want to live on this planet anymore...
This award was votes by fans and not by best drummer. Hale storm has a large fan base currently, meaning more votes for him. However I am a drummer and if this was a award for actually best drummer Neil would have one on a huge scale.
seriously....Gene or Neil should of definitely won, the rest of the other drummers listed (except for maybe the dude from gojira) dont deserve to be placed on the same list as them
You deserve it, Arejay. I so appreciate your modesty and gratitude, and the fact you acknowledged the other drummers talent.

This is awesome, he deserves it
This is the show that got me into Halestorm. And i got to say I am glad to have seen them live.
Anyone who thinks he didn't deserve it.. .."Boom city" from live in philly, enough said..
tell me what other drummer can jump/flip his sticks/play with one stick
while drumming and still playing fucking awesomely
Rebecca Rose will hunt
Rebecca Rose Try Adam gray
Try rhetorical question
Arejay kicked Neil Peart, Holy CRAP! :O FUCKING AMAZING \m/
Ivan fuckin moody. Gotta love that guy
Did you know the name of the background song when he go on stage?
Hey does anyone know which song plays in the background when arejay receives the award???
its a good thing that he won. i don't like the fact that he won but, guys like neil peart will always be there. if the best keep winning, guys like arejay would never get the chance.
Who knows the name of song when Arejay Hale takes the award on the stage? please!
3:05 thats what she said
I agree Im a die hard Rush fan and a Die hard Neil fan but you cant put people like Arejay in (even though he is an amazing drummer) a poll with
Neil with out causing trouble
new asking alexandria that hasn't come out yet. new record jams.
pretty sure thats a dillinger escape plan song in the background
I dont know why Neil Peart would be on that list he has won some many other awards but if we talk about skill Neil should have won.
why such a small stage. it looked like everyone was about to bump into each other.
ya, that's true. i would have also chosen mario duplantier
breakdown the walls asking alexandria
I could see arjey, Neil, or gene getting this. I guess arjey got it cause he's youngest and newest. Neil pearls already or plenty of awards. They can't keep spitting out the same names.
they had fucking neil pert and gene hoglan I couldn't decide LOL
Voted for Roy Mayorga anyway. :P
Agreed, But all the other guys had albums out within the last year of this award show. And I'd say at least two of these dudes deserve over them.. I went and checked out a solo by this dude.. He's like a poor metal version of Mitch Mitchell. Which... Is still good in my book lol. I just don't think he should have beat those other guys.
break down the walls by asking alexandria :)
lmao WHAT THE FUUUUUUCK??!! llol
he looks like Layne Staley
Lars wasn't nominated? :(
when arejay go on stage is moving on by asking alexandria as well
you're right they did miscount...bring up Neil Peart!
Drum Kit onstage would have been nice - - - ((\,,/)) ((\,,/))
lou gramm ?
what the phuk am i watching is this a twilight zone episode?
I'll probably get hate for this, but I feel like Joey Jordinson should be mentioned when people talk about the best drummers.
Not for that year.
how the fuck did that happen
delo1960 because he's smart
Ohhhh... Is it decided by fan votes or by a panel of experts??.. Either way... When that guy beats out Gene Hoglan and Neil Pert. I don't want to live on this planet anymore...
neil wins
he's a good rock drummer but years behind billy rymer and gene hogland and neil pert
This award was votes by fans and not by best drummer. Hale storm has a large fan base currently, meaning more votes for him. However I am a drummer and if this was a award for actually best drummer Neil would have one on a huge scale.
neil peart is easily the best drummer.
Gutao Abreu but arejay got smart in here
break down the walls by 1 of my frave bands asking alexandria like if u like asking alexandria
how the hell did arjay hale win best drummer his set looks like a starter kit for a kid
drummer ? only see lzzy?
seriously....Gene or Neil should of definitely won, the rest of the other drummers listed (except for maybe the dude from gojira) dont deserve to be placed on the same list as them
Please, Peart makes Adler look like a clown.
Hell, HOGLAN makes him look like a clown.
this is a joke right? they chose that guy? from all the nominated drummers!?!? wtf?
Neil Peart or Mario Duplantier should have definitely won this. Just sayin
