For me this poll is a no-brainer....Bruford is in a league of his own.

Mike Giles by a wide margin. Bruford is great, but Giles blows my mind. It's a shame he played on so few albums.

Yeah, the way this poll is going now is exactly what I was thinking. Bruford, then Giles. I'd put Andy McCullough after them.

I totally agree. Bill Bruford is one of my favourite drummers. (Or probably my favourite drummer.)

Andy McCullough, great free drummer. I dislike a lot of Brufords drums for a reason I don't know myself. Just isn't my style.

Oh come on this is too easy: Bill Bruford for a couple reasons. One he's pretty much the best drummer ever (well ok maybe not the best, but top 10 no doubt), and two he has contributed more to King Crimson than any other drummer in the band.
My second pick would have been Pat Mastelotto. I love his drumming on The Power To Believe, and I believe he did a great job working with KC.

Would you like some Bailey's?

Bill just shines regardless of who he plays with, so he definitely get's my vote. I must say though, that hearing what Ian Wallace did late in his career with the Crimson Jazz Trio, this man was an amazing rhythm player as well. So sad that he's no longer with us.

Bruford is the obvious choice, partly because of how much work he actually did for the band, but also coz hes just so awesome. I have high hopes for Garrison though, but hard to vote for him when he hasn't really done anything yet.

Probably because he's well known also to non KC fans.

Bill Bruford is a main candidate to win in most of the polls concerning the drumming, I suppose.

Shame Pat Mastellotto didn't get any votes. He's my second pick. And he's probably more in line with the "King Crimson ideaology" than Bruford was. But Bruford gets my vote anyway for being basically the best drummer ever.
