How about Bill Bruford's fill that is, basically, the melody for the tune Beelzebub?
Or Billy Cobham's fill in the intro to Taurian Matador?

The one I always wait for isn't a huge fill, but always leaves me satisfied, is Phil Collins' dual machine gun rap in 'Squonk' at about 4:18. Of course, that track was a homage to Bonzo, and has countless fills. From Bonzo himself, the last two minutes of Kashmir (after Plant's 'When I'm on my way'), where he demonstrates why he will never have a peer in fillage. Every single fill is an absolute gem. Oh, the one at 7:20, and at 7:33 ... time for a cold shower.

What about CCR's I've Heard It Thru the Grapevine, it has nice long drum solo, even it's not prog music (isn't it ?) or second thing, In Gaga Da Vida, or the name is something like that. By Iron Butterfly.

I'm probably in the minority as per Rush fans, but I think Rush's "Presto" LP has some of the best Neil Peart drum fills. For instance, check out the fills on "War Paint" near the end of the track right before the "Boys and Girls together"-Chorus. Pretty sweet...

First one that came to mind was Peart on Natural Science right before the guitar solo in the middle section.

Ohe yeah, I also really like measure 15 and the undecuplet fills that Terry Bozzio played at the end of The Black Page.

I like the little set ups that Barriemore Barlow did between the verses in the Tull song Hunting Girl.

Bruford's solo on Indiscipline is a killing machine 
Also I'd like to mention:
Danny Carey's "Ticks and Leeches" intro.
Gavin Harrison's "Fear of a Blank Planet" fill just before the heavy riff/solo part.
Mike Portnoy's "Honor Thy Father" intro... I really don't like this song but that intro is amazing.
Jaime Muir and Bill Bruford's crazy percussion/drum moments on Larks' Tongues in Aspic parts I & II

Gavin harrison does some crazy fills here and there, Theres a little part of FOABP's title track that still gets my head banging 
Danney Carreys work on Lateralus, as mentioned, The entire album really.
And Bill Bruford kinda goes without saying really, One More Red Nightmare kills. Brann Dailor can be good, but i often find his constant fills a little boring. Oh and Jon Theodor was decent (Day of the Baphomets is full of amazing drumming moments all round really), until he left... the new guy - Pridgeon, is a bit like Dailor, if they both slowed down and used a few more creative fills instead of just banging as fast as possible theyd be amazing

Tool - Lateralus (might as well mean the whole album)
Marillion - After Me (during the fade out in the end, max your volume)
Fates Warning - One (OMG what an intro)
Savatage - Hounds (right before the second guitar solo)
Rush - 2112 (and the meek shall inherit the earth....and then...wow!!!)
i don't know whether these are called roll or fills or whatever but these are my fave drum parts ever...

There's 2 that 1 can think at the moment from Marillion Misplaced Childhood cd. One is at the beginning of the song Bitter suite, you have to listen careffuly because it's in the background of a guitar solo. Another one is the beginning of the song Waterhole (expresso bongo)

These two are great.

I like Joseph Crabtree's fill In The Pilgram of Argus by Wishbone Ash Not sure if it's really technical or anything it just sounds really good.

If we're ignoring Phil Collins' immense knack for superb fills because I can't choose just one, Guy Evans' fills on Cat's Eye/Yellow Fever, Gog and Pilgrims rank among my favourites. There's one great one on Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso's misere alla storia (if I'm thinking of the right track... think I am), and Keith Moon on Baba O'Riley pulls out some stunning ones.

I think you haven't really paid attention. Bonzo is wrecking this thread., not Bruford.
