B J Wilson - Page wanted him for Zeppelin before Plant introduced Bonham which says a lot.

Nick Mason was to Pink Floyd as Ringo was to the Beatles.  The right drummer for them.  But B.J. was remarkable and he gets my vote.  The video posted above tells you all you need to know.

I don't think that in either of these bands the drummer was the person of interest.
Gary Brooker was (and always will be in P.H), and in P.F depends your point of view... Wink
For me was R.Waters...
But as their drumming skills I think Mr.Wilson was a far better drummer than Mr.Mason...
So I'll vote for him. Smile

Right.
Mason is not an excellent drummer but Pink Floyd music would have been certainly different without him.
Sometimes, average musicians may give more soul to music ...
That is why I think that Dream Theater musicians are too good !!

My vote for Mason

You haven't made enough posts yet. Off the top of my head I think you need to post a minimum of 10 times before you can vote in polls but I may be wrong, it could be more!
