The “king” of that list by decree is the multitalented Bill Bruford.  I’m listening now "Cloud About Mercury" (1986) – David Torn, Mark Isham, Tony Levin & Bill …  Amazing album.

You forgot Missing Persons

Terry Bozzio is a fine drummer,one I have a ton of respect and admiration for.

Each drummer listed is there for slightly differant reason . Some Rock some play syncopated Jazz others play tuned percusion ..its a mixed bag this poll

All great drummers ! but as a drummer which I am  I selected the drummers which influenced me the over the past 30 years of playing drums ... I wanted to keep this list short and simple

Brufford, I know I don't need to list his reasons either.

What we need is awareness we cant get careless
Mental self defensive fitness
Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be

Since Collins isn't here, I voted Bruford, who is amazing as well.

I went with Bill Bruford because I love his work in later day King Crimson
(though I think Peart is as good as a drummer.)
TY you articulated well what I wanted to say .. Phil Collins is a good drummer .. but the guys I mentioned in the Poll I consider talent wise to be drum freaks. Theres  lots of other good drummers I didn`t mention, in the end you can`t please everyone   my only small regret was not including Jethro Tulls drummer Barriemore Barlow as I think he may have got a few votes (its hard to get these poll things perfect)

I think you're both crazy.   Have you ever heard any Brand X? Phil Collins is amazing.

( I think alot of people don't realize just how good he was with Genesis because he's mixed super quiet. If you pay close attention to his drumming, you will be amazed.)
