[Yautja]

The man is a LEGEND, congratz son

Rhythm Magazine out of the UK took a poll of its readers for the 50 greatest drummers of all time. As Mike said here:
"When I saw the October 2009 issue of UK's Rhythm Magazine with the '50 Greatest Drummers of All Time' reader's poll on the cover, I must admit I was curious to open it up and see if I had made the Top 50...
Well, after quickly scanning through the 40's, 30's and 20's and not seeing my name, I was beginning to sadden that perhaps I didn't make the cut.... : (
But then I read on and was surprised to eventually find myself all the way at the top of the list at #5!
Thank you to all the drummers that voted me into such a prestigious poll....
I am truly flattered and honored to be held in such high regard with some of my greatest drumming heroes!
Thanks for all the love, : )

Mike Portnoy"
