Well, since Arcturus is on this page, I would have to say Hellhammer (Jan Axel von Blomberg). Not because other are worse, but he could easily be the best.

ZONDERīS STYLE IS MORE VARIED AND FLEXIBLE

PORTNOY TENDS TO BE MORE IMPRESSIVE JUST FOR THE IMPRESSION

I VOTE FOR MARK.

NO MORE ROLLS PLEASE IīVE HEARD ENOUGH.

Mike Portnoy, whithout a doubt. I also enjoy Rockenfield's style.

Paul Craddick from Enchant. His drumming on "A Blueprint Of The World" is just amazing. And I used to like Mike Portnoy's style before "Train Of Thought"

I think Neil Peart should be on here. Even though Rush overall isn't prog metal (or close to it), they invented the genre with 2112.

since Fantomas is considered progmetal, I would definitely say Dave Lombardo.  Actually, I'm going to risk sounding a bit ignorant and say he's the best drummer

Portnoy is just ridiculuos! He's the best in my opinion not just because he's fast with complex polyrhythms, etc. But he is musical encyclopedia, that guy plays off the bass, guitar, keys, even vocals... he hardly ever repeats drum parts and is always adding some creative flavor that no one else could ever think of. Just listen to "The Dance of Eternity" - what a monster! If a had to choose a second, I'd say Scott Rockenfield... his performance on Operation: Mindcrime is excellent.

Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can

The poll should really include Martin Lopez from opeth and danny carey from tool  (my two favorite drummers!) cause they are both classified as prog metal on this site.

I have no clue who any of them are... but I'm voting for Craddick because I like his name.
