Idol bands are receiving more and more love and attention by the day, thanks to the amplified global interest in Korean music. Now, just like any K-Pop group, bands also have different positions for members. One such position is that of the drummer. Over the years, idol drummers have enjoyed great popularity, not only for their talent but also for how incredibly cool they look doing what they do best. There's just something about drummers that is so hypnotizing that you can't help but swoon left and right.
