Isn't the question about "percussionist" and not "drummer"? This should include tuned percussion too, of course, and when it comes to that the band to beat are Gong with three excellent tuned percussionists: The Moerlen brothers (Pierre and Benoit) and Mireille Bauer. I discovered Gong in the collection of Friede and Jean (they recommended them to me because I was looking for music with flute in it, and I am a great fan of Didier Malherbe). The percussion orgies of Gong during the Pierre Moerlen era are simply incredible.

Gabriel and Collins are the best drummers from the UK.
Peart and Bruford are the best US drummer.

Peart is the best multi percussionist in history.

Peart, Bruford, Palmer. Probably most influential for Prog. Peart and Bonham probably most influential for rock in general.

as my sister (USAGirl) already mentioned, no-one beats Gong when it comes down to percussion, and that's a fact. the Moerlen brothers and Mireille Bauer are (or in the case of Pierre Moerlen sadly were Unhappy) the top of the crop on ANY percussion instrument, tuned or untuned. and Pierre Moerlen is definitely my favorite drummer too. no-one else has such highly original ideas for fill-ins as he, and his polyrhythms are incredible. both Pierre Moerlen and Mireille Bauer received the Premier Prix du Percussion of the university of Strasbourg, Moerlen in 1972, Bauer in 1974, and that's an honor which is not dealt out often (the university of Strasbourg has a very high reputation for educating percussionists)
