You too, huh? Technicality, skill, speed...OMFG! But, he has another trait that I feel is missing from modern drumming...emotion. He's aggressive when needed and sensitive when occasioned.

I don't agree. I find Peart very agressive... He can learn alot from Bruford in terms of emotion.

I vote Bruford.
Portnoy is the best techinicaly, even more than Peart. Nothing can compare though with the polyrhythmic genius of Bruford.

Hello to everyone, my first post on this forum and i started from this topic, maybe the reason is i am watching R30 now . I voted for Peart. For all his work he did through 30 years.Inspiration for many drummers, and who has so many responses from audience through the show - mean AIR DRUMMING.

Give Peart another 20 years of drumming evolution to listen to as he is growing up...how much better and more innovative could he be??? He gets my vote!

I'd probably go with either Vinnie Colaiuta or Steve Gadd, both have done amazingly consistent work. But from the list, I'll go with Peart.

Yep, that's what I'm talking about. 
He jumped up onstage with Dream Theater at a show I saw and shared the kit with Portnoy during the encore... they did the entire 2112 Suite. I think I may have permanently lost some brain functionality that night.

Terrible to have overlooked Barriemore Barlow indeed! Just listen to his entire activity but mostly to his solo in Busting Out - really something to have your jaw dropped low!
I love Peart's drumming, but in terms of versatility and dexterity he seems to be outdone by Bruford - the latter's jobs with Yes, KC are incredible but even more so are for me his feats of his own band at the end of 70s. Just listen to Beelzebub and find it second to none! Still, I'm pretty disappointed with his performance in KC's three siebling albums Discipline, Beat, and Three of a Perfect Pair - way-way-way under his own level, however hard did I try to unbury complexity, finesse etc. from his drumming.
So, it's Bruford. Another huge bravo for S. Copland and Dennis Chambers and the Hatfield and the North's Pip Pyle.

How can you have a 'most skilled drummer' poll without the most skilled player on it-Carl Palmer |
Easy. Palmer is nowhere near any of the guys on that poll. |
Ever listened to:
-The Barbarian
-Tank
-Jerusalem
-Toccata
-Karn Evil 9: 2nd Impression
-The Enemy God Dances With The Black Spirits
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????
From the list: Bill Bruford

BTW I like it how Portnoy has more votes than Bozzio, Colaiuta, Chambers and Carey . Guys, I love Portnoy myself, but have you ever listened to those other drummers? They blow him away; it's as simple as that. Portnoy would admit this himself, and hardly just out of courtesy  .

Now, who could have seen that coming
But did Moerlen blow Tony Williams away? (another shameless plug for Mark Mondesir)

I remember hearing somewhere that he was in Guiness for being the worlds fastest drummer.
