If your going to include jazz fusion drummers such as Billy Cobham, then Lenny White (Return to forever) and Alphonse Mouzon (Eleventh House) should be included. Both combined technique and spirituality.

I was going to say Phil Collins when I just thought of Christian Vander (Magma). So, I guess it's Christian Vander for me !

What really ticks me off about Phil is how he's forgotten what a great drummer he is. Brand X was I think his best moment strictly as a drummer. When I picked-up Unorthodox Behaviour in '76, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I wasn't paying much attention to Genesis since Peter left and focusing more on fusion and that album just knocked my socks off. I didn't think Phil had it in him.

Checkout Curt Cress on early Passport, especially Cross Collateral. He's right up there with 'em.

From that lot, Neil Peart

With Bill Bruford a close second and Carl Palmer a very close third

However, most of the time I'd rather listern to Phil Collins than any of them..
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Pierre august 1999

When it comes to drumming this is the man to beat. Period.
