Hey, I have resurrected this poll because I had a look at the other one running on "best prog drummer" and I find really intriguing differences between the results on both of them.
Any ideas as to which may be the reason for such differences?

what about the supremely talented JON THEODORE of The Mars Volta. The guy is a legend and young too!

Do you think Bruford's personality figures largely in his popularity?

The Bruford/White drum duet on the 'Union tour' was simply amazing!  For some reason they didn't do it at all the 'union' shows. I saw them twice on that tour but they omitted it at the second show

Dream Theater are one of the best prog bands cause they have Mike Portnoy. The same could be said for Transatlantic, Liquid Tension Experiment and Neal Morse's solo efforts. This does not mean that the other musicians in these bands are crap or anything, but he is majestic.
Cheers

Thank you Moogtron III for mentioning Michael Giles (and if anyone else did, thank you, too). I've only heard him on two albums (first 2 Crimson) but that's enough to tell me he's the greatest, not to mention his attire is dashing. I refuse to vote in this poll until you put his name up there.

How about you add someone good to your choices. Then I'll cast my vote.

Now there's a drummer who's been around! Not a question of who's he played for, but who hasn't he played for!

Good point. While I say Billy is way up the ladder on prog and jazz, when it comes to all around rock 'n roll drumming, I would say Keith was the most influential. He pretty much started it all. Where would Neil and Alex Van Halen and many others be without him.

Did somebody mention Michael Giles already?
If not, then I will. Very underestimated drummer. Take his drumming on the 1st Crimso album, the way he comes in on "neuro surgeons scream for more", the way he opens "In The Court..." (the track). Also great on Anthony Phillips' Sides.

There are some fine drummers up there (Bozzio is spectacular), but if I
had to chose one drummer to kill them all off, it would be Tom Corn.
Just a specimen behind the kit.

I voted for Jason Rullo because he is the drummer of Symphony X and I like them more than any of the other bands with those drummers. But, I really like Bobby Jarz of Spastic Ink's drums, I really like how he uses the cymbals.

Dream Theater is one of my favorite bands, but Rush is one of my
favorite bands too. I saw Rush live, and I'd have to say Neil
Peart is the best.
