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.

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!

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.

I vote Bruford.

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

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.
