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. |

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

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! ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

| Ok, the "no doubt" in your post made me wonder. |

Vander, although Moerlen comes a close second. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

Two of my faves. Can't really say I enjoy one more than the other here, but I enjoy more albums featuring Vander than Moerlen.

I was actually thinking about them when I made this poll - Moerlen and Vander are two of their favourite drummers. |

| Both are masters , hence hard to slice the apple but I give a nod to Moerlen more in memoriam as he is no longer with us . |

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. -------------   |

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. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

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

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... ------------- ... E N E L B U N K E R... |
