Peart may be twice Portnoy's age, but Peart could hand Portnoy his ass, on a silver platter! lol

cobham is the best drummer of all time. Cobham was doing what carey was doing over 30 years ago. I think some of u need to listen to more old music ;). How about Barlow? He was an excellent drummer. These guys have 30-40 years of great experience. Carey should not be mentioned in the upper bracket yet.

Barlow rocks 
I only think bruford became a great drummer in the late 70s. When he was playing for UK. Before that he was just a good drummer.

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

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

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 .

Easy. Palmer is nowhere near any of the guys on that poll. |
Ever listened to:

-Tank
-Jerusalem
-Toccata
-Karn Evil 9: 2nd Impression
-The Enemy God Dances With The Black Spirits
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????
From the list: Bill Bruford

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.

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.
