 Topic: Bruford or Peart?
Posted: November 24 2006 at 23:45 |

I would have to go with Bill Bruford. Everytime I listen carefully to his drumming, I am absolutely blown away. Peart is awesome too, but I don't think he's quite at the same level.
Please don't post something about how you prefer some other drummer; I know you like Portnoy, keep it to yourself.

A silly poll between the master and pupil.
Bruford will walk this poll!

If you prefer his drumming, that's fine. But the question "who is the superior drummer" is unrelated to "who is the superior lyricist."

Peart is a particularly pert, practiced pounder, it's perfectly apparent. 
But Bill Bruford has a broader range, and has been bravely breaching the borders from the start -- he is instantly recognizable, and a true prog pioneer. 
If you don't vote for brother Bill, you're either a too-young metal kid, an idiot, or both! 
It's like choosing the guy from the Flower Kings over Hackett or Howe -- duhhhhh! 
Yes & Crimson blazed a trail -- Rush followed (as best they could).

who is the superior drummer!Come on guys, is this a joke? A question like that in progarchives? There are 15-20 drummers that we can say they are the best in the world.Each of them has its unique style so its simply a matter of taste then.

Although I like both, I prefer Peart's musical sense over Bruford, I find Peart more complementary to the music he's playing.

peart is great for his lyrics and his attempt at perfection.
bruford is great because he's done so much and had so much influence.
both are great but Rush is my favorite band and peart is behind so my vote goes to peart.

Quite hard to choose, but Peart wins. Incomparable perfection.

Hey, I didn't know Michael Richards was on Prog Archives! You were great on Seinfeld, but need to polish your stand-up act a bit. 
Anyway, I voted for Peart.

That's opinion presented as logic and pretty poor logic to boot.
Bach and Mozart blazed a trail - - Beethoven followed (as best he could)
Orville and Wilbur blazed a trail - - Reginald Mitchell followed ( as best he could)
The hare blazed a trail - - the tortoise followed (as best he could)
duhhhhh!
as for Bruford "having a broader range" ..... discuss please Professor...

Bruford is the better of the two. More technical skill, and a more prolific and influential musician.

That may be true, but just for once it would be nice for someone to demonstrate how "he has more technical skill" and is "more influential." otherwise it just reads like lazy rhetoric.
Opinion offered as fact....
