I'll take John Dolmayan over Neil Peart any day.

I can understand you thinking Neil Peart is over the top, but I really don't think Danny Carey is... don't mistake chops for showing off. His parts are quite technical, but also very fitting... he has excellent feel. And I didn't have to endure any sort of drum solo when I saw Tool live.
