I have one In Cahoots album and it's great!  I should have bought some when I saw Hatfield and the North as they were selling In Cahoots and Equipe'Out albums.  I bought Hatwise Choice and got it signed by Miller and Sinclair though.

Sinclair might possibly be the loveliest man ever.  He's brilliant!

Phil Collins is the loveliest man ever, but Sinclair is close

Anyhow, back on track... favourite Canterbury drummers?

It's difficult but my list would contain:

Wyatt
Marshall
Pyle

I love all three for different reasons.  They all have completely different styles yet all three are distinctive and utterly brilliant in every way.  I'm currently listening to Marshall in 1969 with Graham Collier Sextet and before he joined Nucleus and Soft Machine.  Amazing stuff!

Marshall - jazzy, tight and uses the whole kit; his solos are some of the best I've ever heard... but Hiseman beats him just in those stakes
Wyatt - not sure how to describe his style; he played drums with his hands a lot though and I personally love that sound
Pyle - the drummers drummer; could play any style but is well known for his outrageous yet tight avant-garde style

Any others to add?

Those are the only three I know, unless you want to count Cutler.

Oh crap... Cutler!

I would count Cutler.

Well you have the drummer of Caravan, whose name escapes me and is currently ill, unfortunately.  You also had Howard, Wyatt's replacement in Soft Machine, before Marshall joined.

That's the one, cheers!  I was too lazy to look it up.

Oh and don't forget Moerlen of Gong and Clive Brooks of Egg.

John Marshall never fails for me though, it has to be said.  I've yet to hear a terrible performance from him.  Wyatt had his uninspired moments yet to me, still sounded fantastic.

How could I forget Moerlen?  My brain is fried.

Moerlen, Pyle, Wyatt, and Cutler are all equally awesome to me.

Yes, I once looked that name up and well... I was a bit disturbed.  Be careful, is all I can say.

He also performed on Nicholas Greenwood's Cold Cuts, as well as with Khan, of course.

I always think of Clive Brooks as Basil Dowling, his Arzachel pseudonym. I can't un-think it.
