Of the names on the list I voted for Portnoy.There are so many good prog metal drummers that you didn't include on your list I am not even going to list them all.But where is Danny Carey?????

yeah!
 And, better still is Virgil Donati. He's GOD.
 Bobby Jarzombek and the other guys guesting on Spastic Ink's "Ink Compatible" are there as well...
 I'm not that impressed by Portnoy's technical skills, obviously, but I like his playing style outside Dream Theater (just as I like all DT members better when they're into their side projects..)

I'd have to go in this order:

Danny Carey (he really should be up here!)
Portnoy
Rockenfield (no, he doesn't have blistering chops, but he's got _great feel_

FEEL, people!

You are missing many Drummers, but I'd say MP.

I chose Portnoy ... mainly for his amazing efforts for Transatlantic and Neal Morse.
