I believe (IMO) it would be easyer for Portnoy to do a Porcupine Three gig as a drummer then it would be for Gavin to do a Dream Theater gig as a drummer, while both are steller drummers, Mike is bit better at variation in dubble bass peddal work, and Gavin has stated that, that is hes least "good" techniquem, though he mangaed it very well for my view, hes dubble pedal work is quite cool.

Harrison is very accomplished.
I like Portnoy on Neal Morse's solo albums best but he can be a bit 'samey' to my ears.

Portnoy is an insane drummer, he is a mix of metal, prog, hard rock and he does it very well. He is Dream Theater in my book.... Gavin is precision, smooth and has a sound that is infectious, I love watching his jazz videos. What I wish is that PT would get back going so I can hear Gavin again....He has been too absent IMO. Gavin is who I pick here...but Portnoy is clearly the hardest working musician of the past 4-5 yrs.

Which super drummer held down the beat better: Harrison from PT or Portnoy from DT and others.
