But who's best, Moore or Portnoy? There's only one way to find out…watch the clip below. The video, which was shot at the Drummer's Festival in Belgium, shows Portnoy take to the tubs during Moore's set, with the former even throwing in a few of the latter's tricks - the former Dream Theater man must have picked up a few things when the two drummers met last year.
