Budgie is God!
 
Oops sorry not here (Or likely to be!)
 
So Phil Collins or Barriemore Barlow or Mitch Mitchel or Pierre Moerlin (Where he?)
 
Um Damn it Phil Collins it is!  (I've been here before)

I voted Bonham but on reflection no drummer has given me more rewarding listening pleasure than Phil Collins!!!

Phil Collins is my favourite drummer, partly because Genesis have made some of my favourite prog rock of all time, and Collins contribution was a massive part of why Genesis worked so well.

However!! My vote goes to Buudy Rich, who I judge on technique and pure raw skill. Speaking as someone who plays - or at least trys to the play the drums - I've yet to see/hear a solo that blows me away quite like this one. With just four drums, and about four cymbals, I think Rich wipes the floor with most of my prog heroes.

Check it!

Two of the three best in my opinion, are not here:
 
1.- Phil Ehart (Kansas): One of the most technical and capable drummers ever, a virtuoso and incredibly underrated.
 
2.- Christian Vander (Vander): One of the most unique drummers ever.
 
3.- Bill Bruford and Neil ´Peart from the list.
 
BTW: Ringo Starr?

Buddy Rich, easily, but with Krupa and a couple other jazz drummers close behind.  Then the mighty B's.  (Bruford, Bozzio, Baker)

I went to see Buddy with a guy who played drums in a couple local groups back in the mid '80's.  The very first thing he noticed was how simple Buddy's kit was, but when we left he was quite impressed.
