You missed a subtle but important difference. Mani's pots and plates are moving around all the time. The pots and plates of your drummer don't.. |

I always rate him as one of the best prog drummers because he can play with a smoothness and feeling for tempo while also giving it some serious whelly when he needs to. I can only really enjoy drummers who go for it and into that category goes Peart along with Carl Palmer (ELP) and Nicko McBrain (Iron Maiden). There is also that amazing drummer Masuhiro Guto (Gerard) who probably smokes the lot of them! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVGM1Rw33no
Anyway I voted option B.

I admire Peart's talent but not his style-there's something very mechanical about the way he drums that I find extremely off-putting.

I know what you say, i think the same of Palmer, is like if they memorize the movements, but you dont see them "grooving" like virgil donatti |

I rate him in my top five, and in all honesty could not rate any drummer any higher than that. When you get up to that level of skill--and his skill is widely acknowledged and beyond any reasonable dispute--then finer points of decision are matters of personal preference. And I do not believe that greatness can be determined by mere preference.
If the options had been "my favourite drummer of all time" rather then "the greatest drummer of all time," then I might have chosen that one. |

Incredibly good. In my top 5? There's plenty of competition for those slots. I love the guy though.

I guess it would be futile for me to say that Peart has been improvising significantly during the drum solo on the latest Rush tour.
That said, Gavin Harrison claims to improvise on every track he plays live... |

Neil's a great drummer...but he's certainly not the best. He used to be my favorite, but other drummers like Bill Bruford and Carl Palmer have captured my attention more, especially when I started drumming and taking percussion courses myself.
