You're probably right about underrated given the musicians he's played with.

Maybe 'unfairly overlooked' then - haven't seen him mentioned that often around here.

Okay, he isn't on the list but I'm going to vote for Brann Dailor from Mastodon, his drumming is so jazzy and complex it's brilliant, really makes Mastodon even more listenable, which is saying something in my opinion.

Just found myself a copy of Aynsley Dunbar's Retaliation's  Remains to be Heard, because of this poll acting as a reminder. And having not heard the album at all since its relaese 37 years  ago(?),  I have to say I don't think I missed anything - as a comparison relevant to the time of original release, Keef Hartley is far more interesting drummer and band leader.

I'm pretty sure most of those names are pretty big.  Ian Paice is under-rated.

I am not sure how underrated he is, but Ginger Baker is one of my favourite all time drummers.

You must have missed the long discussion about Gavin  when Jakko Jakszyk guested on my radio show at the end of January. (Hastings is playing on many of the tracks of Jakko's album The Bruised Romantic Glee Club). One of the show's discussion group e.mailed in wrt the Nolan Sisters - with who Gavin was well acquainted, wrt to being their drummer and .........the revelations came out wrt him being more than just well "acquainted"EmbarrassedCensored

How about Chris Cutler?  His work is incredible with Cow, the Art Bears, some Residents stuff, Aksak Maboul, etc.

Guigou Chenevier of Etron Fou Leloublan is incredible.  The rhythmic patterns that band puts together are so complex it almost sounds like they're failing to play in time with each other.  The rhythm section of that band blows me away!

I came here to post this. I was blown away when I first heard him, and I still wonder why he isn't often mentioned.

Yeah, his style is awesome.  He's so unique because he was self-taught, so he learned a totally different way from other drummers.  Most drummers learn little bits and then learn to put them together: they play from the bottom up.  Cutler learned to break the whole down into little bits: he plays from the top down.  That's why he so effortlessly skims between time signatures and things; he doesn't count the beat, he just feels it.  My favorite example of this is Half Asleep; Half Awake.  If you count the beats, the time signature is changing almost every-other measure.  But if you just heard the drums, you'd never have guessed.

Jerry Marotta. No really, the drums on "I Have the Touch" contribute to the song's major ownage. I love his work with Peter Gabby.
