There is only one 'musical drummer'........STOMU YAMASHTA.
No joke. I mean, if 'ol Stomu hadn't played on every CD in my collection, I'd be sitting in silence right now.

Aren't ALL drummers musical?
Definitely not. As a drummer for nearly 30 years, I'd say there are very few who qualify as such. A musical drummer plays compositionally, carrying a tune of their own, even when playing solo. Not many, even the phenomenal drummers in the top-100 list, are capable of being more than timekeepers and technicians.

For musicality, you can begin with anyone who ever played for Zappa...Bozzio, Wackerman, Colaiuta.

Others:
Dennis Chambers
David Garibaldi
John French
Dennis Chambers
Danny Frankel
Pierre Favre
Omar Hakim (Not in the top-100? Top-25, IMO)
Manu Katche
Simon Phillips
Mark Brzezicki
Oh yeah, Dennis Chambers. Let's not forget him. :-)
