12.06.12 | Can't really judge. My knowledge of paradiddles and rhythm is lacking and I'm not properly educated in the area of percussion to make such a claim. Both are great, but to my ears Danny Carey, But you should listen to Toe and be blown away sometime. |
DamnVanne
12.06.12 | It's almost meaningless to put one above the other, because both of them kick so much ass. I've been listening to both for several years now and I don't even view them as playing the same style. Portnoy has some killer dynamics in his own right, and Danny Carey makes ridiculous grooves feel like just another metal beat (in a good way). I can't put one over the other, because when listening to either one I think, "there is almost no one who could play this, and even fewer who could conceive it".

DamnVanne
12.06.12 | but the answer to your question is Phil Collins |

12.06.12 | another wonderful poll!!!!!! |
elephantREVOLUTION
12.06.12 | i would pick carey but their styles are pretty different so it's hard to compare |
KINGSTATICTHETHIRD
12.06.12 | is this a joke?
carey fucking destroys portnoy. all portnoy can do is jerk off to tom/kick fills
|
FearThyEvil9
12.06.12 | carey by a mile |
MiniatureHorse
12.06.12 | Carey for sure. Ugh, Portnoy. He acted like such a dick in his drum battle with Billy Rymer. |
demigod93
12.06.12 | i haven't listened to much DT and am a bit biased towards Tool, so I'm gonna have to go with Carey. |
YoYoMancuso
12.06.12 | carey because portnoy overplays too much and cares more about flash and style than timing and precision |
tarkus
12.06.12 | carey cos cooler and better and still these lists are fucking stupid |
DamnVanne
12.06.12 | but he is REALLY fucking good at flash and style |
demigod93
12.06.12 | yeah Portnoy is definitely a great drummer, Carey's just better |
undertakerpt
12.06.12 | Portnoy is awesome, but his singing sucks, so Carey it is |
DamnVanne
12.06.12 | Portnoy is beyond awful at singing and especially at growling. |
demigod93
12.06.12 | I didn't even know he sang on anything. |
ibringyoufire
12.06.12 | Carey is a goddamn champion. |
DamnVanne
12.06.12 | Listen to 'A Nightmare to Remember'. The part starting near 11:30 (after 3 minutes of guitar and keyboard solos) is Portnoy. Be prepared, it's bad bad bad.

12.06.12 | sorry keyboard got jaammed |
undertakerpt
12.06.12 | But then again Portnoy has drummed on more LP's than Carey, meaning more drums, meaning quantity not quality. Portnoy wins |

12.06.12 | ok now im seriously pissed, i returning this stupid dell keyboard right now! |
undertakerpt
12.06.12 | But then again, Portnoy smoked and jesus hates smokers. Carey wins |
gwynbleidd
12.06.12 | Carey by a million light years. |
undertakerpt
12.06.12 | But then again, Carey smiles a lot in interviews, meaning he could be gay. Portnoy wins |
undertakerpt
12.06.12 | But then again, Portnoy is smaller than Carey meaning Carey would physically challenge him, Carey wins |
undertakerpt
12.06.12 | But then again watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LemwuSVj0Ak
Portnoy wins |
eleventhsun
12.06.12 | Carey wins by a long shot. He actually plays complex and interesting patterns. Portnoy is pretty much rolls and wank. |
DamnVanne
12.06.12 | The suck and gay tracks are completely off |
chambered49
12.06.12 | well dream theater is fucking awful soooooooooooo
carey |
NightmareCinema16
12.06.12 | I don't really care who's better. Honestly, it's more about the band itself, not any specific member. |
LloydNewgreen
12.06.12 | I used to think Portnoy was the best a few years ago but came to my senses and realised that he's not actually that super awesome fantastic so Carey. |
dawija1017
12.06.12 | danny carey....simply because he took a more creative and deeper approach to learning the drums than mike's traditional path. |
ZoidbergQuestion
12.06.12 | drew carey vs mike portnoy |
MichaelSnoxall
12.06.12 | Danny Carey by far. Carey's all about the sound and body of the music he's making. Portnoy's just like "lol I hit things fast"
|
demigod93
12.06.12 | i hate when people compare Portnoy to Peart, such an insult |
NightmareCinema16
12.07.12 | lack of accomplishment, I say. |
Inferis
01.17.13 | Carey. Considering one of Portnoy's fans, Blake Richardson, is already miles ahead of him. No one can touch Danny Carey. |
gwynbleidd
01.17.13 | Billy Rymer also beat the shit out of him(Portnoy) in a drum duel a few months ago |
