that's a good start. However, having just done one of these not to long ago I don't feel like either looking up my previous list, nor do I feel like thinking up a new one

I can't really say my top since, being a drummer myself, I shut out a lot of drummers who aren't my type, but I think my personal list would have to be topped by: Mark Heron, Steve Judd, and Gavin Harrison, in terms of influence on my drumming.

Same top three for me then Phil Collins and Jon Hiseman which is all very typically seventies orientated so just for the hell of it I'll make a top five post-1980 list as well:

1 Gavin Harrison

2 Mike Portnoy

3 Nicko McBrain

4 Andy Edwards

5 Zoltan Csorz
