Name three of yours the most favourite drummers


I nominate the following

1. Mark Nauseef
2. Ginger Baker(yeah, the erly one!)
3. Jackie Liebezeit
128x128marakanetz
To name a few who seem to have not been mentioned so far: Mike Clark (check out his solo album!), Steve Smith (yes from Journey but check out his Vital Information and Vital Tech Tones recordings), Stewart Copeland, Dennis Chambers, the drummer (names escape me...I am getting old or something) for The Poets of Rhythm (he can really funk!)
Larry Mullen Jr. (very underrated), Phil Collins, and John Fishman (also very underrated)...
Buddy Rich, Neil Pert & Keith Moon. I know it's a boring answer, but I could listen to them all day! Of course, Ginger Baker, Bill Bruford and too many more to mention are also great!

Interesting that the Latin percussionists are not heavily mentioned yet (e.g., Tito Puente, Alex Acuria, Bobby Sanabria) or heavy metal drummers (e.g., Jimmy Degrasso, Mickky Dee, Charlie Benante). I'd love to get some opinions on percussionists in those genres!
