Ringo Starr.
Aaaagh. Cough.
No - actually I voted for Billy Cobham. I've not heard much of him but from that, he beats the others.

^Voted for Peart- didnt see Colaiuta, sorry.
Virgil tears it up on Plantet X cd's- Derek Sherinian has good taste in choosing technical talent.

Peart here. Can't help myself. The skill in 2112 and HEMISPHERES is amazing. I recorded myself playing along to HEMISPHERES and I sound like a gorilla with drumsticks! lol

How can you have a 'most skilled drummer' poll without the most skilled player on it-Carl Palmer

Oh hell yeah! In fact I've seen him live with John McLaughlin. Dude's
got serious POWER behind the kit. He looks like he could crumple his
snare like tissue paper if he wanted to.
Absolutely sick drummer.
I went with Bozzio, even though I'm a Rush Head.

I'd say some drummers were left out. What about Tim Alexander (Primus), An amazingly skilled drummer! And How about Carl Palmer??? "The" Carl Palmer! C'mon..!!

Oh brother......
Skills....
It seems like everyone's definition of being skilled is beating the damn skin like some here probably beat their 
MY personal definition of a completely skilled drummer is being to play in ANY situation and applying those skills to meet the demands of the music the drummer is playing to....
Today's drummers have lost the skill of using the brushes, and no the brushes are not only play in Be-bop situations, they can be played in R&B, Bluegrass, Country, Swing, and the drummers that get over that foolish stigmatism, the more better rounded the drummer will be.... Oh and for those who say what does the four sub-genres of music I mentioned have to do with progressive rock? Let's just say Steve Howe would never have been the great guitarist he is had he followed the road of many of his peers and steered strictly towards The Blues.... Another gripe for another time....
As far as the drummers mentioned, all but Carey are brilliant overall percussionists which is another lost art in most drummers today, but my favorite of overall SKILLED percussionists is Phil Collins followed by Bill Bruford (who might be the more dexturous) then Terry Bozzio (whose Drumkit might seem gimmicky, but he could give many of his peers a run for their money...
