Name three of yours the most favourite drummers

I'd add to previous excellent suggestions Pick Withers, the original drummer of Dire Straits. While he is technically excellent, he also knows when and how to blend into the background, and when to come to the foreground. Just love the drumming on the first 3 dire straits albums.

- Billy Kilson, of the Dave Holland Quintet and has his own group, the guy is a monster of poly-rhythm;
- Jack DeJohnette, he can do so much with so little and has played so many different styles of jazz, it's mind-boggling;
- Neil Peart, what can I say, I'm a long-time fan of Rush.

Zaikesman, the fact NP received an honorary doctorate in recognition of his percussion skills, as well as another in recognition of his writing/lyrics, will probably still leave you unimpressed. In any event, he has a large and loyal following, which says something about his talents. My 2 cents.
