I am somewhat shocked here to learn that Pierre Moerlen is gone... He made his best contribution under Pierre Moerlen's Gong, in musical terms I've always perceived him like a brother to Bill Bruford. So sad.

I love what Carmine Appice did on "Break song" by Vanilla Fudge, also Alan Schwartzberg with Mountain on "Twin Peaks". Not "stricktly" prog by this site, but it is to me. Not designed to impress, but solid and very enjoyable stuff.

John Marshall on "Seven" by Soft Machine deserves a mention and Jerzy Piotrowski on "Pamiec" by SBB where he developed unique riffs, never heard before and since....

Chester Thompson is a fave, so is Dennis Chambers. I won't go into Cobham, Baker, Mouzon here - we all know of them. Do we...?

Can't get over Pierre Moerlen, have to go and put something on in his memory now.

Bill Bruford on the Great Deceiver off the Great Deceiver 4 CD live 1973 1974. The crims had just became a 3 piece after Cross quit. I think Bruford holds the piece together quite well with just a crazy guitar player and loud bassist. Also Steve Smith on the first Vital Information album as well as Barimore Barlow`s solo on bursting out.

I forgot Phil Ehart (Kansas) on the "Two for the Show" live album, particularly in the song "Journey from Mariabronn". Great album and song!

I wouldn't say all of these are technically brilliant (although
most of the prog ones are) but they all feature ace drumming.

King Crimson - I Talk to the Wind, Starless
ELP - Toccata, Food for your Soul
Yes - Heart of the Sunrise, South Side of the Sky
Focus - Anonymous II
Colosseum - Valentyne Suite, The Time Machine
Greenslade - Drum Folk
The Nice - Brandenburger
Bodast - Nether Street

Non-prog:
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Fire
Led Zeppelin - When the Levee Breaks
Rainbow - Stargazer, A Light in the Black
Cozy Powell - Dance with the Devil
Deep Purple - Burn
Golden Earring - Radar Love
Keith West - On a Saturday

No Vinnie Colaiuta or Terry Bozzio? I am shocked and appalled, people.

Just check out anything by Frank Zappa. He always had incredible drummers (the two listed above being my favorites).

The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe.

Zappa's song "Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?" has incredible drumming on the album Roxy & Elsewhere. Don't know the drummer but it may be Aynsley Dunbar, he played with Zappa a lot round the 71-74 era.

We can't leave out Tool whether you like 'em or not. I volunteer:

1) Ticks and Leeches    2) The Grudge    3) Third Eye    4) Merkaba (live on "Salival")    5) Reflection

And Neil Peart...

1) YYZ (also see live on "Exit...Stage Left")   2) La Villa Strangiato    3) Cygnus X-1 Book 1 (look up the drum fill on 8:27 and try and stop your mouth falling open in awe)    4) O'Baterista (live on Rush in Rio)   5) "Didacts and Narpets" sub-section from The Fountain of Lamenth

I can do 5 each realistically for several more drummers but i'm very tired...

I gotta throw Jon Theodore in this.  I have a strong feeling that 20 years from now he'll be listed among the Progressive Rock drumming greats.

 

Drunkship of Lanterns

Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt

Enuch Provocatour

and that's just three.  I still haven't heard a  TMV song where he isn't in top form (IMO).

seriously, anyone not mentioning ticks and leeches by tool, needs to download the song and listen to the drums.

I dont like the song very much and im a huge tool fan, their angriest song, and dont like what any of the other instruments do, structure is weak compared to their later stuff, but the drums are mind boggling and very unique.
