Copeland removed. He won the first round..shall we say...not that there will be rounds.

So who now?

Stewart Copeland easily from that list. Take him out of the equation and it becomes a far harder question for me to answer, though. 🤔

Stewart Copeland actually was a drummer in Prog (with Curved Air). and what hardly anyone knows: his band "The Police" was originally named "Strontium 90" and has a Gong connection. in Strontium 90 Sting played rhythm guitar; the bass was played by Mike Howlett of Gong. Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland were the other two members. they played at the Gong festival at the Hippodrome in Paris on May 28th 1977 (where the live album "Gong est Mort - Vive Gong" was recorded)

From the list Copeland for sure. The problem with judging drummers from the 80's is so much of the music was streamlined by producers, song writers or the band it self it seams like drummers didn't really get the chance to showcase their talents the way they could in the 60's & 70's. (At least in pop/ new wave circles)

Yes, true. I probably should have left him off the list. He's probably the mst technically skilled musician out of that lot too. It may be a landslide.

When it comes to best drummers outside of metal / rock / prog, you must head straight to jazz of course.

Art Blakey,  Buddy Rich, Max Roach, Gene Krupa, Billy Cobham, Billy Higgins, ELvin Jones and too many more to list.

Great drummers. But why do so many ignore the OP?

I was hoping there would be jazz drummers here. 

Copeland is the easy choice.

The OP makes it clear that this is not about jazz drummers. That is why there are no jazz drummers there.

I think the problem, as is often the case in polls, is that not enough care is put into the title of the poll. I have seen many polls where the question asked is not answered as intended, but that is because the question is asked in the OP, and the title is ambiguous or misleading.

If the heading said “Pop and Punk Drummers”, rather than “Non prog/metal/hard rock drummers”, then you likely wouldn’t have people going on about jazz drummers. You’d still get some, just because some people here never pay any attention to anything except the poll options, and if they don’t see who or what they want to see, they will post it.

Chances are most of the people who vote other in this poll aren’t voting for an other pop or punk drummer, but an other drummer that isn’t actually an appropriate answer to the question posed.

It is what it is.

Actually, The Police's original line-up had Henry Padovani on guitar, and that predates Strontium 90, which happened later in the Spring of '77. That's when Andy Summers showed up. (The original single of "Fall Out" featured Padovani on guitar.) 

After Strontium 90 (more a project than a band) ceased activity, The Police resumed, but Summers wanted the band to remain a trio. After a couple gigs as a quartet, Sting and Copeland let Padovani go, because they knew Summers was their guy, and he wasn't going to stick around if they were a quartet.

I've no choice but to vote for Stewart Copeland. The guy's only one of the best rock drummers that's ever happened!
