Collins for me... im a drummer myself some of the stuff he did on the early genesis albums was really tasteful, imaginative, slick and creative. Not my fave drummer of all time, for me that goes to Martin Lopez of ex-Opeth fame for his lovely latin influenced metal

Maitland is still very good though. On the Coma Divine live disc, he delivers a great performance.


What has he been doing since he left PT?

Oh, and it seems there were two other Peter Erskine voters, yay Tongue

I voted for Maitland, He is such a monster on "Coma Divine". I understand people who state that Gavin is the most gifted chef in the kitchen, but that doesn´t change the fact that these two guys overall are as far from each other as garlic and chocolate. Meaning that I for one relate more to the stumbling roaring toms of Maitland, than the sheer precision and complexity of Gavin. Gavin is also one of my top guys, but it is the "feel" that takes it this time...

Phil Collins and Jaki Liebezeit could just as well have been my choice. Phil is pure brilliance, and I don´t think ANYBODY could have put down the same sort of overpowering drumming, that he did for "Unorthodox Behaviour", and I would have to say exactly the same for Jaki on "Ege Bamyasi", but that´s an altogether different kind of animalLOL Jaki runs with the title for most original playing style....

I'm gonna have to refrain from voting since the two I'd choose from (Bill Bruford or Gavin Harrison) are (presumably mistakenly) absent from this list.

Yeah, Bill Bruford should totally be in the list! I vote for the LEGEND - Steve Gadd.

...It's a good thing the poll was asking for a 'favorite' instead of the 'best', which would have been harder to pick in this list. But Jaki Liebezeit gets my nod here for his minimal but profound technique.

I went for Steve Gadd too...he's just played on so many of my favourite records.

Keith Carlock is amazing too.

Phil Collins is a great drummer. I like Bill Bruford too. And I quite like Nick Mason, even if he isn't the most technically skilled.

However, I would have voted John Weathers (Gentle Giant), if given a choice.

I love a lot of names here....Tim Alexander in particular was a tempting choice, as was Chris Maitland.
 
I'll vote for Brann Dailor though. I like to think of him as the modern day Kieth Moon. Never a dull moment with that guy! And, as the latest Mastodon album proved, he also has some serious groove when restrained a bit
