I chose "they're both great",even though Peart is the reason I started playing drums,Portnoy blows me away.My three favorite drummers are Peart,Portnoy and Danny Carey.Very hard to choose a favorite.

both of the are great musicians. personally i beliveve that both of them have a great technique but i would choose peart because besides his technique he was also great in writing lyrics.

we each pay a fabulous price for our visions of paradise, but a spirit with a vision is a dream with a mission..........

Peart is peerless.

I voted Peart.

Mike Portnoy is quite remarkable though.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I'm not a Rush fan, but Peart is a very very good drummer.

they are both ridiculously good, but Peart is better imo, more varied

Carl Palmer is my favorite, he seems like he doesn't have an ego nearly as big as anyone in prog, despite his enormous talent.

I'm a drummer myself and can only repeat myself: If you want to hear some great drumming, then listen to this man, who as of lately plays in St. Peter's houseband:

Pierre august 1999

Unsurpassed. R.I.P.

John Densmore????

He wasn't that great, he just happened to be in the Doors. Like Paul MaCartney was the best bass player in the world for many.......because he was in The Beatles

Densmore done an adequate job and was better than Ringo Starr, I guess, but as 60's rock drummers go, he wasn't a patch on Ginger Baker, Keith Moon, Carl Palmer, Mitch Mitchell etc etc

Portnoy & Peart are both in a different class altogether.
