Have any of you guys seen Yoshiki ? (XJapan) - not suggesting he's the best drummer of all time, but he's certainly the fastest and most energetic drummer ever - like Animal from the Muppets!
Check him out on You Tube...

My vote for all round greatest drummer has to go to Carl - he combines all the particular skills of the other drummers together.

Talking about drummers who can totally compliment the music (like Collins) a totally under-rated drummer in this respect is Richard Coughlan (Caravan)
Without Prog - where would wise men be...?

If you just know his material from Yes, this doesn't surprise me.

I'm really surprised by the difference of votes between Neil Peart and Bill Bruford to the restShocked. Of course both of them are great but I think Carl Palmer, Ian Paice or Andy Ward (not listed) are, at least, at the same level...even at a higher level for me.

The best HAS to be Billy Cobham.  Just listen to any of his solo LP's, or McCoy Tyner's "Fly With The Wind", and you'll know.

If the criteria is Speed, Timing, Syncopation, Chops -- it doesn't matter, he's got it all. 
 
He's a sick MFer.

Elvin Jones or Max Roach, naturally
 
But in this poll, I chose not the most skilled, but the most inspired Moon The Loon.

keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,

Gary,
It's Jeffrey Hammond.
It's is also Barry Barlow, John Evans, and Martin (no Lancelot) Barre. 
Those were stage names Ian encourage them to adopt while, oddly enough, keeping his own name intact.

And my avi is lifted from the Linwell Theatre Programme accompanying the A Passion Play album.
It is indeed a photograph of Jeffrey Hammond posing as Max Quad, the actor performing the role of Ronnie Pilgrim in "the play."

That's cool.  I think it's interesting that you like Bruford and have the Yes, "Relayer" album pictured.  I admit, I have Relayer too.  I enjoy that album a ton!
 
Something tells me that Sound Chaser was Alan White's way of 'getting even' with Bruford.  I'm not a huge Alan White fan at all, but he goes absolutely NUTS on this album.  Dare I say it?  He even stands up Neil Peart with some of that stuff.  It's like he is telling Bruford "F you!", I can drum too.

Exactly. I think White's work is better than Brufford's one on "Tales From Topographic Oceans" and on "Relayer". But after this brilliant era, he espouses a more 'conventional' playing. But what an exhibition on, for example, "Ritual - Nous sommes du soleil" !!!!!
