Oh C'mon. Mike Portnoy is better simply because he has more variation than Danny. Danny is a great drummer, but I wish he'd do more than just boring polyrhythmns.

I love Portnoy,he is a phenomonal drummer and there is so much variety in his whole body of work.But I am going with Carey,I am just mesmerized by his drum work.

I think they're both great, and they both have their strengths and weaknesses. However, I vote for Mr. Portnoy, as I prefer Dream Theater to Tool ANY DAY!

Danny just simply because he doesnt sound the same on every record although Portnoy is more able. oh yeah and because Danny has a library of Occult books

Carey's sound is distinct yet reserved and mostly predictable, while Portnoy's sound is brash and technical, but not very distinct.  I vote for Vinnie Colaiuta.

Prefer the toolman to the theatrical one
"Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.”

"No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present."
