Mike Portnoy is a drummer that shouldn't be overlooked when talking about great drummers. You may or may not be a fan of Dream Theater, but you can't deny his drumming skills. If you're not into Dream Theater, there are other ways to hear his drumming skills. Try the band Liquid Tension Experiment. It's all instrumental songs with Portnoy, Petrucci, and Rudess of Dream Theater, plus Tony Levin on bass.
In Dream Theater, every member is extremely talented. Love them or hate them, no other band in the world comes close when you're talking about talent. Just watch their live dvds.
