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.
