Thread: Are these the Top 10 modern day 'Prog Drummers'?

    Are these the Top 10 modern day 'Prog Drummers'?

    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?

    ^ Hardly.

    But it's the teamrock/'Prog Mag', so what's to expect.

    I believe it's a poll so not a 'Teamrock/prog mag journalist's personal opinion!

    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.

    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.

    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...

    Exactly.
    And why make a top-anything if the top isn't as high as the generation before.

    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.

    NO
    Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

    Minneman is great, but Ågren is the prime rock drummer in the world now. Even Yoshida, Lombardo, Zach Hill, Glenn Kotche and Dave Kerman admire the guy, and those cats are insanely fantastic drummers.
