If you answer the post literally, my choice for best keyboardist who is also a fine drummer is:

Jan Hammer

Listen especially to Jeff Beck , There and Back, Track 1:  "Star Cycle."  That is Hammer on the drums doing quite a fine job!

Otherwise Tomas Bodin - Gavin Harrison look pretty decent too.

Thankfully a synthesizer can only be a Cinthia Size A , nothing more! A mellotron is a mellowtron and an organ , oops , different names for that LOL Censored

nice list.. in fact damn near exactly what I would put.. you nailed the drummers.. and were pretty close on the keyboardists... two I would change

not a fan of the group.. but give the man his due.

that Ratridge dude from Soft Machine LOL in the 3 spot..

as much as love Leone...  would take Toni Pagliuca from Orme. Bigger body of work.. and his work on Felona e Sorona is just as impressive as YS.. just obviously a different flavor.
