rocks on the double kick like no ones business
 
Bill Bruford - Yes, King Crimson, Earthworks, Genesis (live) every progressive rock artist of the 70s, every jazzy act linked to prog rock since then - this guy is the best in the business - can do anything, is always tasteful, original and intelligent, composer, producer, bandleader, keyboards, tuned drums, the lot..

Chris Slade - The Firm, Gary Moore, David Gilmour, lots of sessions - best rock drummer nobody's heard of

Cozy Powell - Jeff Beck, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Emerson, Lake and Powell, own group - RIP

Ginger Baker - Cream, Hawkwind, PIL, Baker Bruce and Moore - probably the first truly great rock drummer

Michael Giles - original King Crimson drummer - phenomenal taste

Roger taylor - I'm not a Queen fan, but he's superb

Keith Moon - mental, but the ultimate rock drummer showman

Nick Mason - the least virtuoso of all of them here, yet great at what he does

Phil Collins- his solo music is a bore, but he is an amazing drummer

Terry Bozio - UK, Jeff Beck - a musician's musician
 
Bill Bruford - Yes, King Crimson, Earthworks, Genesis (live) every progressive rock artist of the 70s, every jazzy act linked to prog rock since then - this guy is the best in the business - can do anything, is always tasteful, original and intelligent, composer, producer, bandleader, keyboards, tuned drums, the lot..
