Didn't realise it till I read it on Wiki , that Jurgen was the German Neil Peart as he also wrote lyrics for the albums. Incredible drummer.

Impossible to choose between Burchard, Jaki and Mani...but I voted for the former.
Another German drummer who often gets overlooked, even within the band, is Peter Leopold. That guy had the most unique sound ever. |

Jaki by a country mile......Jurgen is another fav of mine starting with his time with Scorpions and my fav album Fly To the Rainbow, excellent drumming on that album, then later on with Eloy....I think he was also part of Dawn Patrol with Uli Jon Roth.
Another (to me) excellent German drummer not on the list is Wolfgang Dziony, another Scorpions drummer played on first Scorpions album Lonesome Crow.

Jaki by several lengths. Mani Neumeier second. No Klaus Dinger? He'd be my third choice. Peter Leopold would be my fourth. I think there are two schools of German drummers-ones who are technically brilliant a la Peart and Bruford, and ones where the eal strength is in their ability to play insanely well while 'in the pudding' and shift with the cosmos like the four guys above do very well.
