Yeah, the way this poll is going now is exactly what I was thinking. Bruford, then Giles. I'd put Andy McCullough after them.

I totally agree. Bill Bruford is one of my favourite drummers. (Or probably my favourite drummer.)

Mike Giles by a wide margin. Bruford is great, but Giles blows my mind. It's a shame he played on so few albums.

For me this poll is a no-brainer....Bruford is in a league of his own.

Not surprised that Bill would run away with this one. He fit in better with KC than he did with Yes and he fit in well.

Honestly, very few people in the world are in the same class as Mr. Bruford.

M. Giles is the best due to the genre of the music played at the beginning of the band.
B.Bruford is great too.

The answer would be sound maybe " Who is/was King Crimson's best drummer, except Bill Brufford? The poll would be more objective.
Who else will win if not the best drummer and the greatest goodie in the world?

Bruford is the best drummer in rock bar none so must be the best ever in Crimson - it's a done deal

Yeah, I think so too. I think Michael Giles is one of the best drummers around. Listen to the imaginative drumming on KC's first. Totally original and mindblowing.
He plays great on Ant Phillips' Sides as well, but that aside.
