Greatest Rock Drummers


Given the subject line many names come to mind such as  Ginger Baker, Keith Moon, Phil Collins and Carl Palmer but, is Neil Peart the greatest rock drummer of all time?

Currently listening to Stewart Copeland's drumming on Outlandos D'Amour, so, yeah, Stewart Copeland. 

You could talk about the fact that he is a scientist of rhythm, or his absolute discipline and precision, but there is a uniqueness to his drumming that is hard to describe without missing the mark wide. Its drive, an absolutely coupled connection between each strike of the snare, the rests played around unbelievable syncopated fills. 

Bias filter, I actually don't like the Police very much as a band, but I listen to them  as some great artists who accompanied Stewart Copeland on drums.
