What's wrong with you people? I'm the first one to mention this...
 
 
Another group not mentioned yet is Art Zoyd. They are mostly drumless and when they did add percussion sounds it was mostly electronic and programmed.

ELP - From The Beginning
Kayak - Nothingness


incredibly hard to think of prog tracks without drums that are not by electronic artists or Mike Oldfield. I first tried about 5 Kayak tracks that all start without drums but the drums come in later. The one above is very nice though and passes the test.Tongue

Some of the songs mentioned in the OP I like and hadn't actually noticed that they didn't have drums. However, Histoire sans Paroles, from Harmonium, comes to mind. One of my very favourite songs, and as a matter of fact this whole gorgeous album is notable for not having drums.

Some Ulver stuff, particularly Shadows of the Sun and the newest, Messe I.X-VI.X has little to no drums on it.

Hard to believe "Modern" is as heavy as it is without the benefit of drums.  I almost forgot that they were absent.


Whoa... I thought it did! Shocked Haha.  Should have thought of Lie though, excellent song

I know! I always said the same thing. It's literally the most driving song I've ever heard without drums. I once had a dream where I listened to it and there were drums in the song. I had to re-listen to the track just to make sure I wasn't mistaken this whole time.

All of Harmonium's Si On Avait... comes to mind. Such a gorgeous album, without a single drum track. 
I consider drone metal to be progressive...

Apart from the electronic stuff, "Rubber Star" by Secret Oyster only uses a bit of soft mallet cymbals to provide color, but the song is otherwise drumless.  One of the most prettiest songs this side of the Yangtze River.
