Tarkus out of these, even though Led Zeppelin II or Fresh Cream would easily take the cake.

Though I voted for Genesis, mostly because style, I would rather go for any Magma album. Vander fits my drum expectations as nobody else.

This one goes to Phil and SEBTP for his work on Epping Forest, Dancing Out, and especially Cinema Show

If you want an album with great drum performance, put Gong's "You" on the list. The late Pierre Moerlen at his very best, and he always was excellent. Just listening to "Master Builder" will make you go "Wow!".

Please, SEBTP is a masterpiece and the drumming is OK, but it's nothing special... please... in this case Tool's has more impact, or CTTE's,... Neal Morse is not great, Portnoy plays it safe there.... ELP's Tarkus is great, but of these, just drum performance, the one by Zcorz in TFK's Unfold takes the cake.... everything from jazz to blues to rock... with great invention, great patterns, difficult fills, ghost rolls, groove... no comparison... specially with the winner.

I went with Selling England. I really like Phil's early style over the style that seemed to dominate the Genesis sound from about Abacab on. I thought it blended with the music a little better.

Ahhhhhhhh...Im the first one to vote for Lateralus? What Carey does on that album has never been matched, its insane. Just listen to The Grudge, Lateralus or Ticks and leeches and youll be amazed

Finally, someone voted for Unfold the Future! One of the best overall drumming performances I've ever heard.
I'll check Magma's samples and/or put Magma on the personalized radio "Pandora" ... I like good drumming.

No contest on this one, Zoltan Csorz, when he is actually playing everything is absolutely one of the best melodic drummers ever.
I mean Bruford had his ways, but his drumming on CTTE is not really the prime, nor is Palmer's drumming on Tarkus.

I've chosen Lateralus as the best drum performance, but I must add a caveat - I can't say that Collins' playing on SEBTP stands out, but as good as the individual musicians were in Genesis, I found their best songs showed their strength as an ensemble; each played his part well, but instead of trying to outw**k the other, the goal seemed to add to the song, not necessarily to fraw attention to one's self.

Zoltan Csorsz's performance is the one I prefer out of these, as much as I generally love Bruford's style. The reasons have been pointed out by the T above. As far as Danny Carey is concerned, I think his drumming is seriously interesting most of the time, but I'd really like to see him relying a little less on that double bass drum - I think it gets annoying and is unnecessary at times. The rest of the choices I find are examples of excellent drumming indeed.

The drumming on "Lateralus" is the lead instrument quite often,and really stands out above the other choices imo.

You're quite right, in Tool sometimes the drums take the lead role, they're all over...but sometimes that gets on the way of the music... you know, I play drums, but even I like to discern the melody or riffs or whatever under the percussion... Carey is a master but at times he exaggerates with the tom-tom and the bass drums... is his style, little brightness (I mean in terms of percussion, little hi-hat or ride or cymbals in general) and lots of very concise-sounding tom toms and bass drums.... I always prefer the drummers who give me amazing hihat patterns or dazzle me with very un-noticeable intricacies with their left hand on the snare drum... that's why I picked Csorsz ...

I'd say Bruford's the best drummer (of course, of these, I've only heard the three "classic" bands), but the album that impressed me the most was Selling England.
