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

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!

Simon Philips is another drummer that should definitely get a lot more nominations.

As far as rock is concerned I think Neil Peart is the best. Der Trommler from R30 is INCREDIBLE

Jazz drumming needs more technical ability tho and buddy rich is best ever.

Bonham is an incredible drummer and is right behind peart. Moby Dick is a great solo and he was perfect for Zeppelins sound.

Kieth moon is technically way overrated but he did invent the "lead drummer"

Neil Peart is light years ahead of Bonham and so is Mike Portnoy.

Nick Mason! Surely no other drummer can make a song as good as "I'm A Mineralist"!

Out of the 3, I'd go with Peart. But Billy Cobham is tops with me. His ability to go from left to right handed drumming is incredible. I don't know too many drummers that can do that.

Perhaps the choice is simply too low... I know many excellent drummers (Andy Ward from the 1st Camel would be my favourite -- though it doesn't mean he's the best of all...), and all from the list seem a little bit too... unfamiliar. Who are they?

Well, I'll choose Neil Peart for Prog Drummer.. He is a legend technically and expressively..

I love MIke portnoy's Concept in structuring his drum part of songs... I can feel more emotion than Neil, just that he didn't reach the technical ability, so which is quite sad...

Phil Collins, I pretty think he is quite overrated.. I dun see he is that good in my OPINION.. lol

For other drummer wise, I like Buddy Rich, Steve Smith, Nathenial Townsley, Dennis Chamber, Tony Royster JR and of course, CARTER BEAUFORD! =)

KEITH MOON :D

That bit where he comes in on 'Won't get fooled again' ..

Though I admit, Bonzo is a cool drummer too.

And Rick Wright.

But it's still Keith Moon for me :)

Peart, all the way.
