gotta go with Alan White lo mejor. i know some people will hate me for this, but i find Bill Bruford annoying. how can he take a perfectly good drum set and make it sound like a 99 dollar walmart rollback? favourite BB song? King Crimson Trio (Bill is credited with "admirable restraint)

My FAVORITE drummer is Lee Harris formerly of Talk Talk or maybe Danny
Carey of Tool. As for who the BEST drummer is, I have no idea.

Bill Bruford 
But what Terry Bozzio did is fantastic: his album "Drawing The Circle" consists of just percussion, and it's great!

I voted Carl Palmer, because while Bruford has incredible nuance and
balance, they are DRUMS. It's nice to just hear the raw poer of a
skilled virtuoso just thrashing mercilessly on them.
I always think of Cobham as more of a jazz drummer than a rock or prog drummer.

Prog is the new punk, becuase kids who shop at Hot Topic don't know Bill Bruford is God.

Billy Cobham and Steve Gadd are not "progressive" drummers but jazz drummers. Phil Collins and Barriemore Barlow are not there ??? One of my favourite drummers is not a prog drummer : the late Jeff Porcaro.

Bruford, Peart and Portnoy aren't bad either.

You're right but I think that some people are prejudiced against Collins' drumming because of the direction he steered Genesis.
This is unfair, because if you take it in isolation his drumming is second to none.
Genesis did however become crap.

Steve Gadd may be strictly jazz but Bily Cobham started and is best known for Mahavishnu Orchestra who are in the archives and many people do feel are prog. Even though he does play jazz also I have never heard a strictly jazz drummer hit the skins as hard as he does so I disagree with you on that one. However I do agree with you about Phil Collins and Barry Barlow and I am adding Phil Erhart also.

tip, Billy Cobham can play anything that all the other
drummers in the poll can play, none of the other
drummers can play what Billy Cobham can play.
the rest is just a chasing after the wind.

And you know this as a fact DB?
Thought not.
I reckon there is stuff Peart has recorded that no-one but Peart can even figure out, nevermind play.

No, actually I think I would have voted for BC. I like all those drummers up there and others have named (including Neil Pert  ) and PE too but I saw BC at a drum clinic with the late Louie Belson and I saw him do things that were just crazy. First of all he gets on his huge kit and plays just like a machine then he gets on Belson's standard jazz kit and it was like a toy for him! Then goes back to his kit and plays some rock beats with such power I haven't heard even some metal drumers achive. Kind of like seeing Stanley Clarke playing stand bass up then picking up an electric bass. His hand spread is just amazing. Stanley could probably bar chord his bass with no problem.

Once, He tried to sing Can't hurry Love and Randy Said "Rough Dawg Rough", Paula said "you did your best you big hunk of meat but there are others better. BTW how about coming over to my hotel and singing that for me in private?" Simon said "That is the worst God awful sh*t I have ever heard. You thought about singing for Genesis?"
