The entirety of Roy Harper's Stormcock album
The many drum-less acoustic songs by Jethro Tull
And Peter Gabriel III (Melt) for having no cymbals whatsoever
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Peter Hammill's Modern seems like the best example of a real heavy prog rock song with no drumming.

Otherwise I mostly listen to acoustic blues these days, so I can't really suggest much.

Not prog but one of my favourite albums of 2012 was Bat For Lashes - The Haunted Man. I don't think there are drums on any tracks , mostly it's Natasha Khan beautifully singing with a delicate electronic backdrop. Its divine!

Not considered prog...(maybe Prog-Goth) but two This Mortal Coil albums ("It'll End in Tears" & "Filligree and Shadow") are full of wonderful drummerless proggoth numbers like "The Jeweler", "Holocaust", "I Must Have Been Blind", "Tarantula", "Velvet Belly", etc...
