Gave Vander another vote, though Tony Williams would have got it were he on the list.  Other faves include Giulio Capiozzo of Area, Jaki Liebezeit, Pierre Moerlen, Mani Neumeier, the drummer for the explosive Disaster Area, and the explosive drummers from Spinal Tap.

Palmer sadly never developed beyond 1973's Brain Salad Surgery album and by the eighties was stuck in an AOR rut. Nevertheless still a hero for me and I've seen him play with Asia ,ELP and solo and is always a great showman and always great value in the live arena.</span>


Well, in the present, I have the feeling Palmer is a much more solid drummer on Asia than Alan White is on Yes. And Bruford is retired, so he must be more solid than him too.

Palmer has always been rock solid but that was never really his' thing'. Didn't know Bruford was retired. White was never quite in the same league as Palmer, Collins, Hiseman, Peart or Bruford but nevertheless a very good drummer. In fact I prefer his drumming on Talk more than Palmers on Black Moon. Yes most recent release and Asia most recent release would be about a draw drumming wise ( a nil nil draw)Smile


Yeah, but there have been some nice drumming from Palmer on the recent Asia live albums, while I felt somewhat underwhelmed by White's work on the last Yes live album. However, I haven't heard that White, Levin, Torn album, so that might give some different light on White's drumming nowdays.

I don't know, White's playing is pretty darn flashy on Sound Chaser Wink

His playing on the first Crimso album is superb. imo, credit must be given to the engineer who recorded his drums. I think this is one of the first albums where each part of a drum kit (snare, bass, high hat, tom toms, cymbals) was mic'ed separately creating a new standard for listening to the drums.
 
Judging by the sound I think Collin's drums were mic'ed and recorded that way as well on Selling England by the Pound. I don't think they were done that way on any other Genesis with PG album, but, I'm just going by my ears.

Favourite from these is Martin Lopez.

The best?  That would be Mr Carl Palmer.

Another one for Bruford, but Olsson is a close second.

Voted Vander.  As others have mentioned, I'm very fond of Moerlen, Neümeier, Liebezeit, Cutler, Wyatt, Cobham.

Bruford and Vander would be a logical choice, but I want to give a vote to Andy Ward.
Of the non-listed here, I'd say Clive Brooks (Arzachel - Egg )

Michael Giles have probably the best cymbal work in rock/music ingeneral, and cymbal work is the signatur for any drummer, and is the element which realy distinguish a great drumer from a good drumner
