You should have gone with an other choice, because I would probably have voted for either Vinnie Coliauta, Steve Gadd, or Chester Thompson. From the choices here, my top 5 is:

The first 3 drummers in the poll are my heroes. Gotta go with The Professor on this one,with Carey and Portnoy close behind. -------------  |

| I voted for Bill Bruford but we're getting into the subjective "best" = "favourite" thing. Carl Palmer should really be on here, so should Alan White for completeness. If Billy Cobham was here I might just have gone for him... |

Since this is a Progressive rock site I will ONLY stick with the progressive rock drummers....
Of the Golden Age Prog drummers the Acrophobe of them all is Bill Bruford. 2. Phil Collins-Was truly amazing during the Seventies.... 3. Guy Evans-His jazzy chops could match Bill on a good day, but so severly underated by many even on this site... 4. Andy Ward-One of the main reason Camel's music became more complex... 5. John Weathers-Probably the truest percussionist of them all, severely talented and the grossly underated Ray Shulman on bass, that rythym section could match or better any of their peers even on a off day...

... they're all good, BUT Bruford rocks my socks. So he gets my vote...this time. There seem to be a lot of polls like these so maybe I'll vote for someone else next time. Isn't likely though. |

I hurt me deeply not to pick Moon or Bruford, but I had to go with Danny Carey. Seeing him play live just gives me a chub.

Vinnie Coliauta Gads, why is he not in the list? Now if you would have asked best songwriter that is a drummer, that would have to be Neil Peart!

If only drummers and musicians were allowed to vote in this poll, i.e. people who no what they are talking about and not people voting just because a drummer happens to be in their favourite band, the results would read something like this:
From the list, Peart would be well down the pecking order! |

Obviously not a drummer or musician! |
