Barlow for sure.
Bunker and Perry close behind.

I was just thinking about this same subject.
Barlow, without question. Phenomenal. Clive Bunker. Dave Mattacks.

Barriemore or Clive. Between the two, you have Tull's greatest albums from their golden age (Bunker from This Was to Aqualung, Barlow from Thick as a Brick to Stormwatch). I chose Barriemore on the strength of his playing on Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play. Phenomenal drumming. The rest of the drummers are non-entities, as far as I'm concerned, except for Dave Mattacks, but his best playing was with Fairport Convention, not Tull.

Barriemore Barlowe by far. His work on the Bursting Out live album is top notch, as well as all the studio albums from 1971-1979.

Clive had a really tasteful drumming style but Barlow is just great in all aspects.

I choose Bunker just for his solo on the DVD, Jethro Tull - Nothing is easy: Isle of Wight '70
killer drum solo :-) and for the rest also, not to be missed by any fan. P.S.: love Barlow too :-) Edited by Run Home Slow - October 26 2011 at 19:46 |

I vote for
Barriemore Barlow as he drums on my two favourite Tull albums ‘’Thick As A
Brick’’ and ‘’Songs From The Wood’’ and I think he is also their best drummer
on a technical level. |
