Mark Zonder is Fates Warning's drummer, or at least was.

unfortunately, Billy Cobham, Philly, Carl Palmer and Aierto Moreira are all older than Neil Peart.
besides wasn't Aierto mostly just a percussionist with Weather Report and Miles Davis?
Their actual drummers did stomp some ass.
The next Peart? Hmm...
Zoltan Czarz from The Flower Kings (sort of)
Danny Carey from Tool
Tim Alexander from Primus
Mike Portnoy from DT
I like Nick D'Virgillo (sp?) from Spock's Beard on the Albums before Feel Euphoria
Pat Mastelotto (just kidding)

Another good reason to nominate Portnoy is because like Peart, he has great songwriting ability. We should be evaluating candidates on not only drumming technique (which is still very important), but also other musical abilities such as songwriting, composing, singing, or whatever. Which reminds me, Portnoy isn't to shabby at backup vocals. |
Yea, I agree there. Some of his musical creations like SFAM and SDOIT are some of the finest I've ever heard or seen in Progressive music history!

To say that Neil Peart lacks "an overwhelming amount of technique" is,at best,ridiculous and at worst,an embarrassing thing for you to write.
You hardly know the band,yet sit in judgement like an expert. Check out the band's bio and MP3s before spouting this tripe.
or at least add a " " or a " "

mm yes you can...he is amazing of course i agree to that, but you cant reely compare him to some other drummers in terms of who is better than who. for me peart is one of the best in his style...for ex. chris pennie of DEP play much more ferociously but at the same time just as technical, peart could probably never do some of the stuff he does, and vise versa for someone like john theodore
|
But Chris Pennie of DEP has no melody, I saw DEP and the band as a whole totally, totally SUCKED!

A drummer!
Anyway, Spiral Architect's drummer is really good. I would say the
battle for the next Peart is between Portnoy and Spiral Architect's

if you mean who will be the peart as in same style then portnoy. he is
on the verge of being a pert wanna be but IMO peart is overrated
anyway, the best drummers right now (also IMO) are danny carey, john
theodore, chris pennie, and ben koller

Axel Von Blomberg (Winds, Age of Silence and hundreds of others), Asgeir Mickelson (Borknagar, Lunaris, Spiral Architect), Martin Kneppen also has a nice performance on Asmegin- Hin Vordende sod og Sø. Another great one is Zoltan Csörz (TFK, OPus Atlantica)
