best New Wave drummer IMHO was Clem Burke.Pirre Moerlin of French Gong was awesome fusionm drummer.I liked Simon Phillips of Brit art rock fame.Not everybody is going to bea Moon or Bonham but that's why they are Moon and Bohnham.Oh yeah Zappa's main drummer Ed Mann saw him live on "Joe's Grage" tour.Awesome!

Tommy Aldridge has quite a resume. I believe he's listed in the uberlist post previously, however I must mention that I enjoyed his work on Pat Traver's Crash and Burn. Kudos to the engineer on that album as it is some of the cleanest recorded drumming I've heard on a rock album of that era.

I recently saw a couple of performances of the Richard Thompson Trio, his "folk-rock power trio." His drummer, Michael Jerome, who has been with him for quite a while, was truly remarkable.

I always get captured by Richard Coughlan of Caravan fame.
