Very tough competition here, I'm not sure whether I ever had such a hard time to rank some of these over others. Nice also that we have some tracks in which the drums really take centre stage, some in which they are virtuous, some in which they are original, some where they are quite straight... thanks for all contributions!

I knew theree of these before, the tracks by Police, Suzanne Vega, and Sting, and I love them all, but I won't vote for them just to make the job easier.

The Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp will pick the first vote. There's just so much life in this, I love how much fun stuff is going on there.

I could easily also vote for the Asteriod Witch but sorry George I just decided nobody gets two of my votes.

Kees has two good candidates there. I'll vote for one of them but which? I'm always attracted to a good energetic live video, but ultimately I love the drumming on the  Mastica track and also the atmosphere, and vote for it... how did that happen, I was pretty clearly on track for von Kampen, but...?

Mila also doesn't give me an easy job - the Anne Paceo track is great but I don't really like the sound of the drums there, I think I'd vote for that if this weren't the drummers poll. The drumming aspect is better on Le Serpent, very well done and contagious this, but there's also The Mad Data Race and A.K....

By the way I love the Steve Moore video even though of course this excels by extra-musical factors, and Carl Palmer is of course a great drummer, but this is on PA, so I have an excuse not to vote for it.

Where was I? Serpent vs. Mad Data Race vs. A.K. But the surgery would probably have to come up with a live video to convince me of this, I can better imagine this to work for me on stage, also once more the drums mix/sound is not quite to my liking.

The Spastic Ink track is really very impressive, but I think at the end I go for Guem & Zaka, that's the swing!

I can only agree with what has already been said. I had a really hard time choosing my favourites. So, I too will have to focus on the lesser-known artists.

I especially fell for the live acts. Both ensembles, the Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp and Sl()agerij van Kampen won me over with their passionate and energetic performances. However, in terms of composition and musical versatility I found the former more convincing overall. But in any other edition, either of the two would have got my vote.

The situation was similar with Ghost Power and Pat Mastelotto's Mastica, whereby the dilemma was even greater. But it is impossible for me to leave the Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp behind. However, I added both Ghost Power and Mastica to my wishlist!

Another of my top favourites is the fabulous Christoph Haberer. What a versatile and talented musician! He played with Trilok Gurtu and Moussa Cissoko among others and here he combines drumming with electronic music. Truly remarkable!

I also appreciated the more classic rock’n’roll drumming of e.g. Spastic Inc or Surgery but I am even more drawn to discover something new, also in terms of musical style.

Therefore, my votes will go to (in random order):

- Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp

- Christoph Haberer

- Mastica

As long as it's not danceable, we're very open to any kind of music... Tongue

^ Hmm, in fact anything with a more or less steady beat is danceable. In this sense my African drum track is even an epitome of dance music. Dance to trance, as it were. lol Btw. I find George's Ghost Power track very danceable, too. This track could easily be part of a 60s or 70s film score, in the style of Blow-Up or similar. Wink

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.
