I chose "they're both great",even though Peart is the reason I started playing drums,Portnoy blows me away.My three favorite drummers are Peart,Portnoy and Danny Carey.Very hard to choose a favorite.

both of the are great musicians. personally i beliveve that both of them have a great technique but i would choose peart because besides his technique he was also great in writing lyrics.

we each pay a fabulous price for our visions of paradise, but a spirit with a vision is a dream with a mission..........

I voted Peart.

Mike Portnoy is quite remarkable though.

I'm not a Rush fan, but Peart is a very very good drummer.

they are both ridiculously good, but Peart is better imo, more varied

Carl Palmer is my favorite, he seems like he doesn't have an ego nearly as big as anyone in prog, despite his enormous talent.

Peart is a legend.

Portnoy is a soon-to-be-legend...

I'm a drummer myself and can only repeat myself: If you want to hear some great drumming, then listen to this man, who as of lately plays in St. Peter's houseband:

Pierre august 1999

Unsurpassed. R.I.P.

John Densmore????

He wasn't that great, he just happened to be in the Doors. Like Paul MaCartney was the best bass player in the world for many.......because he was in The Beatles

Densmore done an adequate job and was better than Ringo Starr, I guess, but as 60's rock drummers go, he wasn't a patch on Ginger Baker, Keith Moon, Carl Palmer, Mitch Mitchell etc etc

Portnoy & Peart are both in a different class altogether.

Arsillus said it best above.

Peart is among the gods, Portnoy is a god in waiting.

Peart is the reason I love prog music - no one will ever convince me otherwise that he is the greatest of this generation.

The more that things change, the more they stay the same.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Keith Moon!

(But from Mike and Neal it's certainly Portnoy!)

I vote for peart probably one of the greatest worldwide, definetly my favourite and after all a magnificent personality.

Portnoy is one of the best new drummers without doubt but not that great yet.

My favorite is probably Bill Cobham, but out of these two, Peart without hesitation. Portnoy isn't original enough, his beat although very fast, are always kind of boring.

Peart. He is very vaired, uses lots of preccusion to great effect.

Pert as in Neil Peart? Rush's Neil Peart?? How exactly do these two compare? They have nothing in common.. Neil Peart has an excellent ear for music and can play his arse off without you even noticing.. nothing of a show off, very nice beat.

Mike Portnoy has a .. "bag of tricks". That's it... a "Bag of Tricks" taken from Stone's stick control and another couple of books, turned into repeating patterns.

I choose the drummer over the bag of tricks.

You don't play drums do you? Because anyone who plays drums, even as a hobby and listens to progressive rock just a tiny wee bit, would've known what O BATERISTA is! It was even nominated for a grammy and even though it's supposed to be a Rush instrumental piece of music, it's more like Peart competing with Gadd's talent... it's the one time when you leave your drumsticks aside and start listening instead of trying to follow.

Oh and by the way, Portnoys' solos are patterns he has learnt by heart and it just happened that he played the exact same solo in two different lives, some years apart! I even have it on video
