Bruford and Phil Ehart from Kansas, both are the best IMO.

Hello,

The best is Guy Evans (Van der Graaf Generator)  but he's not in the list

So my vote goes for Phil Collins

Peart and Portnoy...no questions asked.....a drum battle between these 2 would be earth-shattering!

Some greats there, no doubt, but it'll always be Mr and Mrs Brudford's son William, for me.Big smile

Next Palmer, then Peart.

  Would it be possible to add more names to the list? If so, I'd like to give my vote to Virgil Donati, if not, then it will go to Peart/Bozzio/Portnoy, they can be very different to each other, but I like them equally...

I find it really odd that a poll could be put forward regarding a ''Best Drummer''.No such thing as a best drummer,every fan of their best loved band are going to vote for that drummer,it's inevitable.However each drummer has his own individulal style of playing,tricks,exemplary timing etc.Some drummers may pull off an energetic 30 min drum solo live,where as another drummer of a simular band may not entertain drum solo's,in either instance this does'nt make any drummer better than another.
