I guess times have moved on and it's expected that the old guard of Bruford, Bozzio, Peart, Palmer etc etc etc no longer appear in modern polls but are these the current cream of the crop?

i guess...insofar as sophisticated rock/metal music is concerned...
^ Hardly.
But it's the teamrock/'Prog Mag', so what's to expect.

Of course it's a poll! With this specific readership at play! A readership whose horizon of interest and preference fits the overall concept and limitation of a promoted profile! Again: what to expect?
They aren't "bad" drummers or "bad" bands, but the given sortiment does not represent the spectrum of progressive rock music out there. Anyway, good luck to them.

I don't listen to any of those bands.

Axenrot is an ANIMAL! So effing good...though I think Harrison should have tied him. #4? Me thinks not....and Mangini is way better than the band he's in now, it doesn't do him justice.
Snubbed again.

Marco Minnemann yes, and how about Mike Portnoy, he's only 49
What a dumb list.
Carl Palmer still plays like he is 17, even though he's an old geezer. Stupid and uneducated list IMO.
Day dawns dark...it now numbers infinity.
This has nothing to do with Prog magazine or Team Rock. We simply reported the poll findings to our "specific readership... whose horizon of interest and preference fits the overall concept and limitation of a promoted profile!". But thanks for thinking of us again...
But hey, no Christian Vander either.
I'm not lazy. I just work so fast I'm always done.
Morgan Agren? heh. I cant believe I even looked at it in the first place.
For me the two most glaring omissions are Morgan Agren (who should probably be #1 overall) and Marco Minnemann. Oh, well...it is what it is.
