| Oh C'mon. Mike Portnoy is better simply because he has more variation than Danny. Danny is a great drummer, but I wish he'd do more than just boring polyrhythmns. |

| I think they're both great, and they both have their strengths and weaknesses. However, I vote for Mr. Portnoy, as I prefer Dream Theater to Tool ANY DAY! |

Danny just simply because he doesnt sound the same on every record
although Portnoy is more able. oh yeah and because Danny has a library
of Occult books |

| Carey's sound is distinct yet reserved and mostly predictable, while Portnoy's sound is brash and technical, but not very distinct. I vote for Vinnie Colaiuta. |

Danny Carey. His style is more distinctive and I can easily imagine him play Portnoy's drum parts without any trouble. While I'm sure Portnoy can play Carey's drum parts, I don't really think he'd be comfortable with them. But as some people here vote for Vinnie Colaiuta and Terry Bozzio, I vote for Larry Wright. http://www.drummerworld.com/wishlistdrummers/Larry_Wright.html - http://www.drummerworld.com/wishlistdrummers/Larry_Wright.ht ml

Portnoy is pretty damn good, to put it mildly! ------------- "...misty halos made visible by the spectral illumination of moonshine." |

Just because he plays about a thousand rythms in one song doesn't mean he is better. I can't think any Portnoy's part that can beat "O baterista" or the YYZ solo. I prefer him from Dany though. |
