^ I saw Lee Michaels with Frosty at the Palm Springs Pop Festival in 1968. It was just the two of them on stage with no other musicians. During a drum solo Frosty threw away his sticks and finished the solo (including cymbals) with the backs of his hands.

Lee Kerslake. Didn't he do well. Probably should've drummed for Sabbath (near the end).

I was just thinking of Kerslake. He and [bassist] Bob Daisley were both shafted by The Thing of Evil, aka Sh*r*n Osbourne, who removed their credits from Diary of a Madman. Tommy Aldridge and Rudy Sarzo got the credit, and appeared in the band pic.

Some of the drummers in this thread are not forotten, even if they are remembered for the wrong reasons.
I read somewhere that Clive Brooks (Egg and then the Mighty Groundhogs) became a drum technician for Nick Mason. I think he also set up a drum school, although I do not know if it is still in operation. At least the former was work, but it seems a waste of a talented musician. He had to be pretty darn good to keep up with the partnership of McPhee and Cruickshank.
Jeff Rich of Stretch and Status Quo used to travel around offering talks to young people about drumming, and he was very entertaining as well as informative. I hope he is still doing this.
I''ll add Paul Hammond to the list, although I hope he is not forgotten.

I'm impressed by Ingranaggi della Valle drummer (Shanti Colluci). Shanti sounds like he's influenced by Bill Bruford.

Interesting foursome here. Did you know that: Seraphine was ultimately fired by his band mates after flying to Europe for a gig before immediately taking his wife for some site-seeing and then showing up for the performance without any rest and, as a result, playing rather sloppily to their embarrassment; Barlow was once called the greatest drummer in the world by John Paul Jones (or something to that effect); Evans stuck with VDGG through their late-'70s Van der Graaf period while others in the band abandoned ship and is content nowadays with playing small solo jazz gigs at taverns around his digs in England; and Paice did a one-off backing Paul McCartney (not McCa, for Christ's sake) and Dave Gilmour at the Cavern Club. Just a few thoughts.

Er, ah, I meant John Bonham once called Barriemore Barlow the greatest drummer in the ... . I always get those two mixed up (as I am admittedly mixed up ).

Okay, I was just reminded that the actual quote is that Barlow was called "the greatest rock drummer England ever produced" by Bonham. Sorry.

Guy Evans also played with Mother Gong (on Robot Woman 1 and 2), the British branch of Amon Düül and Echo City, an experimental band that used many self-invented and self-built instruments.

Not to shabby.
