My vote will be a controversial one probably. Gonna go for Collins, Hes certainly not technically the best but he is very creative on those early Genesis albums and plays with such fluidity allowing seamless transitions of sections and time sigs. Love it. I hope
PS i hope lars doesnt get any votes

I miss Gavin Harrison on this list. Although not "great", per se, I am constantly amazed by him. I'll vote for Bruford, though, as he is an incredible musician whose drum parts never cease to boggle my mind

The ones that involve drummers that play more than 4/4.

I love Nick Mason's subtle drumming. To me i felt Phil Collin's drumming shined on Selling England, he's so delicate at times, especially his drumming in Firfth of Fifth.

In combining heavy attacks with subtle jazzy softness, uncreatively Bruford. In heavy creativity with subtle creativity, Keith Moon. 

But, if we're talking about ALL TIMES...none of them would be here if it weren't for Gene Krupa, the man who brought the drum kit into the world it lives in today.
