Best Drummer

Out of those listed I would go for Ginger Baker. Cream, Fela Kuti and Hawkwind to name just a few artists he has worked with. Outside of that list:

Dave Lombardo-Not just for his speed but his sheer athleticism on a kit and his work belied a very technical drummer.

Gavin Harrison- He uses all the kit and in unexpected ways too. One of the few drummers that I could probably listen to a solo by.

Bill Ward-Sometimes the simplest rhythms are the best and his sound was as heavy as Bonhams.

I love Ringo too, but he isn't a virtuoso drummer.

Keith Moon followed by Neil Peart.

I'm so psyched that he's now playing for the Crimson. Can't wait for their new album.

Chick Webb and Max Weinberg should probably get some mention.
