Not being as much of a drum aficionado as perhaps I should, this was a challenge for me. The first five were easy, the last five required some digging.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Tony Williams yet.  I'd also like mention Lenny White and Billy Hart.

You're right, Tony Williams is a great drummer indeed, and Lenny White is one of my favourite, his drumming on the RTF albums is simply perfect!!!

Funny I flipped a coin between Powell and Panozzo.....thought it was appropriate since both are gone due to alcohol.

I haven't heard much from Tony, but from Lenny I can only repeat what Friede said about him, he's techincally great but his style(and sound, always found his drum sound insipid) never did much for me.

I'm not as big on Lenny White's drumming as the others I mentioned.  That said, I love White's album Venusian Summer.

Alphonse Mouzon is one really worth mentioning I think.

9. Chris Cutler (Henry Cow)
10. Pip Pyle (Hatfield and the North, National Health, Soft Heap, many other projects)

The first three are more or less fixed; the rest are constantly changing.

Modified Friede's list, but she had quite a lot of good drummers on here already.

I can't make a better list than this.

No mention of Haake? Kollias? Hoglan? Carl-Michael (back when he could walk)? A bit more obscure, but Tomás Corn?

I'm partial to metal drummers.
