Name three of yours the most favourite drummers

still missing:

dave mattucks - (understandable, he's always overshadowed by richard thompson's guitar playing)

jean yves tola (sp?) - the uber-quirky drummer from 16 horsepower.

anton fier - the "almost as quirky" drummer for the late, lamented feelies.

Has anyone mentioned Mountain's Corky Laing? He's also worth thinking about.

I tripped across this thread again and realized that no one has yet mentioned Winston Grennan. It can be fairly (though not conclusively) argued that Grennan invented reggae. He is pretty much universally credited with the "one drop" beat - bass drum on the third - that forms the basis of the genre. He played with everyone from Count Basie to Paul Simon - not mention my man, Kid Creole.
