I like Joey Jordison myself. I think he's a hard hitting and solid drummer.
As far as Lars is concerned, I don't really see him as being overrated. He's been one of the best drummers in metal for decades now.

If you're speaking on if I think either Joey or Lars are either underrated or overrated, they're both overrated, moreso Joey than Lars. If you want my opinion on Lars, I'll give it. Short of it is, for me, he's always sounded like a sloppy drummer. Yeah, he hits hard. But the the way it sounds when I listen to him play, he just sounds off.
Joey is overrated just for the fact that so many people defend their opinion on him being so great, with how fast he can drum and all the things he can do. I have seen a Slipknot concert, and I agree that Joey is pretty cool to watch play. But I've seen better drummers, and he doesn't deserve every bit of praise he gets. Him being able to drum fast is by no means grounds to regard him as being one of the best drummers of all time.
