Not on the list, not even Prog really, but Sheila E can drum up a storm.

He didn't do many flashy things, but always held a solid groove.

Jake's the obvious choice for me, but nice to see Billy Ficca here. Television is a fantastic band due in part to his fantastic drumming.

The right guys are in the lead. Ward is brilliant, Moerlen was probably the best in the world and Jaki is extraterrestial and magic. He'll probably make my computer break down from the distance if I don't vote for him.

The two guys with more votes (Liebezeit and Moerlen) are the ones who deserve it most, and arguably two of the most skilled drummers ever, but Wilson is SO underrated...

Not hated by me, but I do am very curious why exactly mason.
He didn't do much on composing, didn't drum very notably fast/virtuous and not too special to me.
Wait, that's not a valid argument: drumming fast with PF. That's nearly impossible

Well, he did some pretty good drum work on Piper and live he put a bit more oomph. Listen to the Meddle version of "Echoes" and the one from Live At Pompeii, for an example.

John French is good; he's in my Top Ten American Classic Rock drummers. I also like Guy Evans.
He looks at this world and wants it all... so he strikes, like Thunderball!

^^Wow Clap! Thanks for those links.
I've a copy of Steig Aus and heard a couple of Embryo's songs on the web.
I'm not that familiar with Guru Guru, think I heard UFO once.
 
Need more albums from these bands in my collection Embarrassed

Voted Jaki.

good choices. Mani Neumeier of Guru Guru is very underrated, as well as Christian Burchard of Embryo.

just listen to Mani Neumeier here:


or Christian Burchard here:

I know I voted for Jaki but I'd still like to mention the one and only John French. While he may not be the most technically gifted drummer out there he still played on Trout Mask Replica. In many ways he reminds me of Amon Düül ll drummer Peter Leopold in that he plays some of the most awkward rhythms and breaks known to man. He does things that shouldn't work yet do.

speaking of Nick Mason: gas anyone heard his "Fictitious Sports" album? it sounds in parts like the lost Pink Floyd album, although it has some tracks that are faster than any Pink Floyd track ever. here an example from that album that is not so Floydish:

Voted for Wilson. Mason is an ordinary drummer but a great writer and observer of people.
