Following the uDiscover top 25, I was amazed to see some unfamiliar names up there with Portnoy, Peart etc. Who is your favourite drummer from this RIO-heavy list?

Chris Cutler for sure. Pierre Moerlen is also a fantastic drummer.

Definitely Chris Cutler from this list. Lots of great drummers, but Cutler is a cut above the rest, in my opinion.

By the way, in reference to another post on the forum (Dylan and Shadows), Chris Cutler started off in a Shadow’s cover band, or so I was told.....

Moerlen was a phantastic and very special drummer. Died far too young.

Threw a vote to Kerman. He's really, really good. Check out Ahvak.

Vander and Moerlen are tied for second place, for me. If Cutler were not in this poll, I honestly don’t know that I could make a decision on who to vote for without flipping a coin. 😄

Went with Daniel Denis. He isn't necesarrily better, technicaly speaking, than the rest of all those great drummers, but I like his style - very prominent and evocative. He is a great part of Univers Zero unique atmosphere. He provides not only rhythmic base for UZ extremaly complex tracks, he also illustrates them in a way.

Cutler just over Vander, but all of them are truly spectacular.

Not sure if Vander is the absolute best, but he's the most interesting drummer to watch that I've ever seen!
