Mason, because cats and dogs know he is Pink Floyd drummer, while I had to google to find out that B.J. Wilson played in Procol Harum.

Nick Mason, but I don't listen to either bands for the drumming.

This. I voted for Mason, though, for I like Floyd more.

Mason was a brilliant member of Floyd for his ideas and ability to mediate between the warring factions and keep the band (more or less) together and recording for so long. Read his book on Floyd - it's brilliant, very funny and outlines the tensions that ran through Floyd almost from the start.
But he wasn't a great drummer by his own admission. Indeed, they had to engage session drummers to play complex rhythms he couldn't play.
BJ Wilson was a very interesting drummer - all action and very capable. So as a drummer, he gets my vote.

Nick sounded great with the Floyd (esp paired with Roger), but BJ Wilson is such a superlative drummer, that this was an easy choice for me. Wilson!

He wasn't really tempted in most cases... all these guys (the ex-Paramounts) were from the same neck of the woods (Southend On Sea) as he was....

Mason's a fine drummer and timekeeper, but he's not a patch on the magnificent Wilson who was not only the perfect drummer for Procol but he made every great tune that much greater. That's a big part of what every drummer is obligated to do.

Correct. I remember hearing Robert Plant mention this in an interview. They couldn't get him, so they approached John Bonham and the rest, as they say, is history.

I've seen them both, more than once. My vote goes to Barrie Wilson.
