I don't think they're the elite, I think if you're looking for the very
best then in terms of prog - although POeart will come highly rated -
Bruford's the main man. Of the three, I voted for Keith Moon, greatly
under-rated as a drummer, then Bonham, then Neil Peart who is clearly a
bloody good drummer, but I find it hard to warm to him.
Hey two out of three in your poll are sadly deceased, hopefully this doesn't worry Neil if he's reading this!

Watch the drum solo at the end of the Knebworth video of Mike Oldfield.

Neil Peart.
Gotta say I'm not really a fan of any of them though. Portnoy blows them all away in my opinion.

From the three on offer, it has to be Peart, but my favourites will always be Collins and Bruford.

Peart. I saw a couple of his solos and I was amazed. Although Portnoy is the best in my opinion

the playing of moon is unlike anything i have ever heard. just the pure power and randomness. bonham is amazing also. he is lightning fast with the footpedel and mobydick live is just makes you say wow. and pearrt is a genious too. He is very technical. they are all good but i think pert is over al better.

Out of those 3 pretty easy decision. Although Zeppelin was always my favorite band, I pick the legendary Neil Peart. My second favorite drummer is actually Stuart Copeland.

Copeland is among my favorites as well.

NEIL! NEIL! NEIL!
and what is all this talk of portnoi? what he plays is good, sure, and it realy goes with dream theater, but he makes it sound a lot harder than it is by having a LOT of drums. add to that the fact he cant play any rudiments at all (his own admission in modern drummer mag) a question about drums and NO MENTION of Billy Cobham!? FOR SHAME!
Ps. for all the DT fans give this guy a listen. he is a great drummer. one of the greatest.

Keith moon. He is easily the most powerful drummer on the list. He has an amazing talent of hitting the drums in a seemingly random pattern yet keeping the beat. He perpetually sounds like he's showing off, fitting in perfectly with the Who's incredably excessive sound.
It's close, though. John bonham is pretty beastly.
I don't get much out of Neil Peart's drumming.

Bonzo was underrated - I prefer Peart
