I am prety sure that the most of you guys have never heard Mark Zonder's playing.
He is as technicaly skilled as Portnoy and he has more distinct sound.

Bleh. Bad list. You forgot, as many mentioned:
Martin Lopez (Opeth)
Johan Langell (Pain of Salvation)
Tomas Haake (Meshuggah)
Danny Carey (Tool)
Hellhammer (Arcturus)
Gene Hoglan (Death)
My favorite to listen to is Ark's drummer, but Portnoy is the best.

Is Tool considered Prog Metal? Danny Cary is a fantastic drummer.

come on people, have you seen Mark Zonder on stage?
I agree that Portnoy is extremely good (at least) but Mark is more "essential"
how does that sound?

I've never liked Dream Theater that much, but you must respect Mike Portnoy. He is just so great.

I absolutely love PORTNOY! But i also think Jason Rullo of Symphony X and Danny Carey of Tool should be on there.
