Peart is more famous and developed in talent, but Portnoy is better considering the rate he's been growing at and the time he's spent in comparison. Dream Theater is like a modern day Rush, only much less mainstream. Peart may have been spectacular, but Portnoy's fucking insane.

Why? He's influenced a generation of progressive rock drummers and musicians alike by sporting dynamic chops and mastering odd time signatures and rhythms which are now staples in progressive rock and other music. His influences are gods of the most demanding genre of music, jazz, and his music oozes that flexibility and technicality.

I'm also sorry if i offended you because you can at least back yourself up unlike more than half the other people who like i said, jump on his huge ass bandwagon. But there have been other drummers to exactly the same thing, john bonham, buddy rich etc

Buddy Rich is his greatest influence, and John Bonham did venture a bit into that field but he had more creativity and raw adrenaline and power and gusto as well as chops of a God. Also it's no problem, it's my bad for not knowing what you were talking about. I could be wrong because I don't exactly know a whole lot about drumming.

Haha, I started a bandwagon.

No, but seriously, you can't really ask for "real evidence" in a music thread, because it's all a matter of opinion. And you can't prove everyone just listened to Tom Sawyer. Off the top of my head, I can list YYZ, Working Man, The Trees, Limelight, and The Camera Eye.

So Kyle, what does Newgrounds say about your post count? SHUT THE FUCK UPPPPP!

My opinion is being made on a completley biased point of view but Danny Carey. Best. Drummer. Ever.

Moonie is a sexual fuck who's destructive lifestyle should really be a school subject and adopted by most of us.

Also Dave Lovering is pretty good in a simple kind of way.

Lars Ulrich is the greatest drummer of all time.People criticize him too much, because he holds so much of his drumming technique back.You gotta be crazy to disagree.

Neil Peart of Rush and Rick Allen of Def Leppard. Rush's drummer is insane and Allen is crazy good for only having one arm.

Bill Stevenson from the Descendents. He's amazing. He has amazing endurance, which you can definately tell in the song "Suburban Home". Personally I think punk drumming is the best thing ever.
