Ringo is the most famous drummer. Moon, Bonham, Paice, Peart, Barker, even Charlie Watts, don't come anywhere close.

Gotta go with Bill Bruford, if you really think about it, the guy that did more different works and explored the prog music and played with the best groups in the world was Bruford, although I would've gone with Neil Peart, only for his technical abilities.
For Bruford, that music from Spandau Ballet Gold is apropriate for him, eheh

This is taken from Wikipedia: Portnoy has won 22 awards from Modern Drummermagazine, including "Best Up & Coming Talent" (one time), "Best Clinician" (two times), "Best Educational Video/DVD" (two times), "Best recorded performance" (5 times) and "Best Progressive Rock Drummer" (for 12 consecutive years), and is also the youngest person (at 37 years of age) to be inducted into their Rock Drummer Hall of Fame.

So, my vote goes for him. He builds up on great prog traditions and then he switches next gear and goes forward. Just listen to Systematic Chaos and you will know. Clap

Most important: tie between Carl Palmer and Bill Bruford. Palmer pioneered effects in drumkits (influencing drummers like Bruford and Peart, to name but a very few) and Bruford mapped all kinds of sonic territory
 
Best: Neil Peart, the only man who should be allowed to have a drum solo longer than two minutes

definitely untrue. listen to solos of Moerlen, Vander or Neumeier (which can all be found on YouTube)

They're good, but Peart's ever-evolving solo way better IMO

Sorry, but you can't have heard too many drummers.

But in a way that's good - you're at the start of a very fascinating journey of discovery

Why is it so objectional to people that Peart could possibly be someones favorite drummer. Since when did this become a polarizing issue.

^ Equality, please read what I wrote. I object to the notion of Peart having a monopoly on good drum solos and not to anyone's liking his playing.

exactly. I have nothing against people liking Peart, but people who go "Peart, Peart, Peart" all the time are like a record with a stuck needle. there are a lot of intelligent drum solos out there

I'd choose Moerlen over Peart anytime, hands down. Not because one is BETTER (how would you measure that, by the way? Beats per second?), but because his drum playing is a lot more original. Peart's fill-ins are rather ordinary, but you only have to listen to albums like "You", "Shamal" or "Gazeuse" to hear what I mean. Moerlen comes up with some really original stuff there. Things you won't hear from any other drummer.


BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue.

I'm sorry, I initially took your remark to be a little condescending. I wasn't speaking just of you though it seems to be becoming a more prevelant theme.

I've heard a number of drum solos, and most are boring. Technical, challenging, but BORING. Peart's solo is actually fun to listen to, which is extremely rare. I didn't mean he's the only one who can sound good for more than tw minutes, he's just the only one who keeps it interesting.

Fun longer solos aren't rare at all, though they're probably much more common in jazz than in (prog) rock.

Haven't heard a whole lot of extended jazz drum solos. I listen to Buddy rich and gene Krupa, and they tend to do a lot in a very small time frame. Maasterful, those two men are
