Name 3 under appreciated pop/rock drummers

Here's one:

Stanton Moore of Galactic.

A tasty roux of Gumbo-Funk, can rock like Bohnam and Moon, and the finesse of a great jazz drummer.

bobby elliott, hollies--supposedly all the other 60s brit bands sent their drummers to study him. listen to the classic hollies records--he's one swingin' cat
mitch mitchell, jimi hendrix--really wild, with real jazz chops; a perfect match for jimi. hendrix's later stuff with buddy miles was static and lumbering by comparison.
mick avory, kinks--sorta the poor man's charlie watts--steady, minimalist un-flashy. i'm always surprised at how good the kinks records sounded--well produced, impeccably arranged, uncluttered

If they were all that under appreciated we wouldn't be able to name them, would we? LOL.

No,that would make them unknown.

Graham Lear and Mark Craney both played with Gino Vannelli (different albums). Both went on to play with a litany of great rock and jazz artists. Both wonderful fusion drummers. Check out Lear's work on "Storm at Sunup" and Craney on "Brother to Brother". I believe if Gino did not have the Italian sex symbol persona (and hairy chest), his music would be more appreciated. Great voice, songwriting/arrangements performed with incredible musicians.

Aynsley Dunbar was the drummer on some of my favorite Frank Zappa albums, went on to play with an impressive list of rock greats. Always thought his contribution to FZs music was fantastic.
