Name 3 under appreciated pop/rock drummers

Since the best rock drummer thread has garnered some interest, this thread could create some diverse and interesting respones. My 3 are as follows...
1-Gil Moore-Triumph-Being Canadian.
2-Jerry Shirley-Humble Pie/Fastway-Didn't sell enough records.
3-Roger Taylor-Queen-Overshadowed in his own band.

...check out Graham Lear when he was with Santana - good choice ...also, Ansley Dunbar as I saw him years ago with Nils Lofgren...another good choice......

Not sure if he is underappreciated but I always thought Ian Paice (Deep Purple) was just amazing.

Ron Wilson from the "Surfari's", whose simple drum exercise became a number two hit in the USA......"Wipeout" was recorded as a "B" side and a throwaway tune and caught on and captured the imagination of everyone who held drumsticks in the 1960's.He died in 1989.Other two? Sandy Nelson would have to be one.Remember there were hits in the 60's centered around the drums before everybody started smoking pot and nobody wanted to hear all that banging.Innocence lost i presume.
