Robert Wyatt's idiosyncratic drumming was to be heard as Soft Machine evolved from a psychedelic to one of earliest European jazz rock bands - some times said to be a cross of Ringo Starr and Elvin Jones's playing!

I love Bruford, but as far as fusion goes, Billy Cobham has the greatest style.

Mm... Can't believe I forgot Tony Williams and Dennis Chambers...

As for that guy that said Phil Collins has nothing on Cobham Gadd or Weckl... I agree...

Nonetheless, I prefer Collins over Weckl... even though I voted for Gadd... He's the best.

Collins is still a brilliant drummer though... Listen to Unorthodox Behavior and Moroccan Roll before you judge him.

Cobham gets it by a hair, though I prefer Bruford as a drummer, Billy is ferocious on his kit.

Ooo, Lenny White or Billy Cobham...

Cobham is a beast, but White is so fun and has a lot going at once. I'd have to say White because he's falling behind.

Sasquamo, are you a drummer? I'm asking, because it is said that only drummers like Weckl. Not that I believe this (if only because I'm no drummer and I like Weckl's playing), but I'm just curious.

Now that would surprise me. At least as far as BB is concerned. Which albums do you recommend that Weckl plays on?

Bruford and Cobham are equally amazing...
I love Collins' work in Brand X even more though. I think he is terribly underrated. He dosen't shine in Genesis the way he does in Brand X. Collins is truely a spectacular drummer.
But with all due respect... It's gotta be Steve God... I mean Gadd.... he conquers all... I vote for him Embarrassed
Also, I recommend you guys listen to Martin Valihora, Hiromi Uehara's Drummer. VERY talented young drummer. Check out Hirmoi's stuff on youtube, if you dont own her CDs...... Magnificent drumming...
 
Yeah, I can't vote for just one.  You are SO right about Bruford (who, because of his vast abilities in prog and jazz-rock, would probably have to be first), Cobham (spectacular), Collins (definitely right! - his playing on 'Moroccan Roll'...), Gadd (all his playing with Al DiMeola and that appearance on the Steely Dan title for Aja - wow!).  I would have to add Bobby Columby from BS&T (especially that first 1968 album!), and William Kennedy with Yellowjackets.  Thanks for the head's up about Valihora - will have to check out the youtube uploads!

Billy Cobham...brilliant drummer.

But Dennis Chambers almost beats him out in my book,the man is an amazing drummer.

Steve Gadd without a doubt.  Such a brilliant drummer, subtly perfect in nearly every way.

When someone says jazz fusion...I think Billy Cobham. I love hos work ith early Mahavishnu, and have just got hold of his (1st?) solo album, "Spectrum". Brilliant.
