Buddy is just simply too good to be on this list.

Do you think Bruford's personality figures largely in his popularity?

what about the supremely talented JON THEODORE of The Mars Volta. The guy is a legend and young too!

Hey, I have resurrected this poll because I had a look at the other one running on "best prog drummer" and I find really intriguing differences between the results on both of them.
Any ideas as to which may be the reason for such differences?

When it comes to drumming this is the man to beat. Period.

Mani Neumeier of Guru Guru deserves a special mention, because he is the inventor of the "Mani-Tom", a tom that can be in- and deflated with air via a hose that is blown into during play. There are some very good examples of the use of it on the live album of Guru Guru (which I highly recommend, by the way).

Quite a list to choose from. Have to go with Neil Peart.
Buddy Rich? Neil had to start from somewhere! What a legend!

The more that things change, the more they stay the same.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

That's your opinion,I grew up with a father who played drums,3 older brothers that played drums,am a drummer myself,and was exposed to both of them quite a bit while growing up.I think they were both equally good.

Check my avatar and you'll know who gets my vote.,
altough i love every drummer listed. But it's kind of
unfair because i we talk about drummers (and not
prog-drummers) there a whole bunch left out (Vinnie
Colaiuta, Carter Beauford, Horacio "El Negro"
Hernandez, Mike Mangini, Virgil Donati, among
many, many others).

Neil Peart, Mike Portney, Bill Bufford and of course Carl Palmer...... but "The Professor", Neil Peart gets my vote hands down.
