 Topic: Moerlen vs Vander

Tough one! But I think Moerlen is more skilled and talented. I really love Vander work with MAgma but this time my vote goes for Pierre...

Uhhhh tough one... Although I've been hearing Magma a lot lately, I just have to go with Moerlen, he's the Master(builder)!

Two of my very favourite drummers. Moerlen wins by a whisker because what he does on "You", especially the track "Master Builder", is unsurpassed.
They played together in Magma for a short time but didn't get along.

I absolutely love Vander's distinct style; he mixes the very best elements of classical (the incredble precision), jazz (never plays the same thing twice), and rock (the GROOVE, man!) into one kickass drumming experience.
I think Moerlen is a great drummer, but I don't find him quite as distinctive or talented as Vander.

where's the Baldies when you need them?  |
I was actually thinking about them when I made this poll - Moerlen and Vander are two of their favourite drummers.

Vander, although Moerlen comes a close second.

Vander is very good as well. And Magma is a great band! But Moerlen is just... easily one of the best drummers I've heard so far!

Christain Vander singlehandly invented a new genre in music; he is an innovator and an original creative force besides his great drums technics.
Moerlen is a great drummer!
So who do you think i think the most of?
CHRISTIAN VANDER of course  |

Two French drummers from bands I'm not too crazy about. Superb drummers nevertheless.
Which do you prefer? No "they're equal" option this time, I want you to choose  !
I go for Moerlen, but only just.
