 Topic: King Crimson's Best Drummer?

Bruford of course. I think that Gavin Harisson shouldn't be included (yet).

Bruford had killer chops, but Giles fit in with the band better. Maybe it's just because there's all ready a little too much Bruford in my prog diet: Second's Out/CTTE/One of Kind.

Bill Bruford - loved his work with Yes and King Crimson, though Michael Giles is tied with Bruford when it comes to King Crimson.

Bill Bruford. Jazzy style, but he's the best for KC by far.

Bruford's drumming on One More Red Nightmare is one of the best there is.

My vote swings towards Bruford because of that gigantic shift he took from the 70s to the 80s. The immediate embrace of the new vocabulary rooted in electronics, non-western percussion and minimalism was stunning.

Sometimes you have to agree with Walter. For similar reasons, Fripp is an amazing guitarist and his approach to music wonderful.

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

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

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?

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

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

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.
