Playing a three-hour Rush show is like running a marathon while solving equations.

None of these drummers listed are my favorites. For me, I just couldn't vote for one so it's a toss-up between Phil Collins, Bill Bruford, Carl Palmer, Chester Thompson, Alan White, and Ian Mosley. By the way, I hope the inclusion of Lars Ulrich on your list is just a joke. If not, then I pity your tastes in drummers.

I keep voting other in these things, so I went with Danny Carey.

Still: Phil Collins, Christian Burchard, Mani Neumeier, Jaki Liebezeit, Ivan Fedotov, Ian Paice, Tony Williams, Christian Vander and the list literally goes on and on and on and on............

I'm not a big Rush fan, but Neil Peart is a fabulous drummer, so I vote for him.

Other. Andy Ward. I know, weird pick, but the precision in his complex, ever-changing drumming for The Snow Goose blows me away every time.

Nice and original choice. Andy's quite a good drummer indeed.
