brufford is more important, but Peart had more influence in almost any rock drummer post-Rush.

Since Bruford and Peart get mentioned a lot, it would be good to point out one big difference between the two. Peart is from the school of thought that what ever you play on the albums is exactly what you have to play live. It's a very robotic mentality. Bruford on the other hand, comes from the school of improvisation, that says it's not only good, but healthy, to alter things live. The free-form flexibility of Bruford's approach is a lot more interesting and expressive, not only for the musician himself/herself, but for the listener too.
I still say that much of Peart's appeal comes from his lyrics writing, instead of pure drumming.

In my opinion, Neil Peart... Since the 80's I'm hearing many drummers that have the style of Peart, more than Palmer, Bruford (more jazzy I think) or Collins... You listed John Bonham but I think that Keith Moon (The Who) is more important than him as a drummer...

Most influential could be Bruford, Collins, Palmer or Peart, all have a lot of followers and fans.
Best: Phil Ehart and after him Manu Katche.

True Ivan, but most progressive rock drummers of nowadays are directly in debted to Bill Bruford as for Peart and Collins were seriously influenced by Bill.

Tough choice, but I went for Bruford other than him it would have been Carl
Palmer.

OK...perhaps I forgot one or two. These were the ones I listened to the most back in the late 70's. There were other none Prog drummers, but due to this website focus, I omitted them. |
What's everyone's view on the influencers drummers of today? I hear much fast playing (rolls and double bass stuff) in Modern/Extreme rock as well as Metal. Fast doesn't translate to Prog of course, but for the bands of today, do the Prog drummers of old have influence? I'm sure Danny Carey of Tool had some influence from the masters and I bet Crimson had a huge impact on his style, not to mention the band as a whole. More info, I heard on a radio interview with the band Seven Mary Three that the drummer used to be a huge Peart fan, but he plays nothing like Peart as you can tell by hearing their music.
