Warby is amazing. Of the drummers listed, I'll have to go for Portnoy as he is amazing as well. However, I think I would have gone for Warby by a slight margin if he had been listed. I am sure there are manying varying opinions, but I think Warby is hard to top.

Very true, i had totally forgot about ed warbyhe is brillant but IMO not as good as Portnoy

Mark Zonder. On tour in 95 Fates Warning blew the main band (DT) out of the water as far as precision is concerned.

My favourite drummer in the prog metal genre is Mike Portnoy, although Mark Zonder is equally astonishing.
