I have to concur with Friede. as one reviewer of "You" remarked, the track "Master Builder" most probably contains the best drumming ever by anyone

presumably Rush -Moving Pictures was ommitted to give the others a chance?
 
Also I would have included King Crimson - Red which features Bruford at the top of his game IMO.

I would like to add to my personal vote that it was hearing Moerlen play on "Master Builder" what inspired me to pick up the sticks myself. And I think I am a decent drummer myself now. Nay, no false modesty; I know I'm good Wink. Nevertheless what Moerlen does on "Master Builder" is simply out of this world, and I have never heard anything like that again, not even from Moerlen, who is my personal drum God.

Tool gets my vote here, but I'm very fond of Phil Collins' drumming aswell.

Of those listed I have to say Bruford's performance is best because it so perfectly fit the atmosphere of the entire album "close to the edge" without him ever stepping out into the forefront.  It's why, when he left, many of us Yes fans in that day feared that it signalled the end of anything good coming from the band.  He was that vital to their sound.  Portnoy's exemplary work on "One" also rates an honorable mention but I suspect many proggers haven't heard his incredible performance on that great CD.

Hard poll - three of my favourite drummers here, Peelip, Bruford and Zoltan.

However, going on the albums, I have to say Unfold The Future. Very diverse and at times intense. Excellent performance from Zoltan Csorsz here. Clap

I'll go for Lateralus.
