Bob Siebenberg vs Phil Collins (drummer poll)

these are drummers that got included in both bands third album and also become fundamental to each bands groove and drive, Bob Siebenberg with his steady but playfull style and Phil with his vulcanic yet icy aproach on the kit, warm yet temperate, Bob is a very creative drummer, one of the most creative drummers in rock IMO, very innovative, playfull groovs, fills and sound.

Phil probably prooved more that he could swing a 9/8 in Genesis then Bob could in Supertramp who rearly played anything other then 4/4 and 6/8, but i can't hear Phil give the same steady yet droning  beat to Crime of the Century (title track) as Bob could or the varied grooves in Hide in Your Shell.

both drummers are unique for their style and sound and emediatly recogniceable,

I think Phil would prob have sounded amasing on Crime of the Century  (all freaking album)

Bob Siebenberg !

Collins by a wide margin!!! Siebenberg was always steady, but uninspired IMO.

Bob Siebenberg would readily admit Collins as the superior drummer.

Collins is one of the best drummers in prog---can't confuse his corny love songs with his drumming.

Oh, sh!t, everything the people above me said.

Mr. Phil.

Phil's a great drummer. Bob not so much.

Well dude, I realize it's all subjective, and Supertramp's music didn't really require that much rhythmic prowess, but his drumming really wasn't that impressive - it just sounds so stale and lacks so much character. It's like he's keeping time more than anything.
