I voted Neil Peart but Bonham and Moon are also amazing.
Other than the drummers proposed, Jeff Porcaro and Simon Phillips are also in my top 10 drummers.

I'm guessing that you're a Toto fan.

yes. But Jeff was great also as a session drummer for Benny Mardones, Peter Frampton, Steely Dan, Eric Clapton, Los Lobotomys and a thousand others.

Correct, but Jeff Pocaro was the one who originally had the best credentials.

Has anyone considered Zach Hill? He is definitively in my top 5 for favorite drummers.

I'll say Moon on the poll. What's my username?
I also like Andy Parker of UFO.
Vinnie and Carmine Appice
Tico Torres
The late, great, Eric Carr
Just to name a few.

For choices on this poll, I voted for Neil Peart, with John Bonham
as a close second pick. As other posters have noted, Bill Bruford
and Terry Bozzio would have been good choices on the list as well.

I would also add Tommy Aldridge (his drumming with the Pat Travers
Band, especially the live album, is awesome)!

Mike Portnoy, especially post-TA with Morse. And, yes, Phil Collins in Genesis back in the day and killer with Brand X. Also, can't forget Terry Bozio.

P.S. The five in the survey aint so bad either. ;-)
