In addition to many mentioned, how about Jimmy Carl Black? his tribal sounding drums in the Mothers of Invention was cool...also Dale Crover of the Melvins

Thanks Ken!That album was so magical.I really need to check out the post-FishMarillion.I've heard some stuff here and there and like what I've heard.I recently Discovered a band called Riverside(they are a must) that really got started from their love of Marillion,and that has inspired me to start making some Marillion purchases,as well as Fish's solo work.

I played in a band in the early 1980's that the Bellamy Brothers drummer sat in with. Usually, we all left the stage for the drummers solo, but when he started, I could clearly hear the melody of the song in his solo. I stopped dead i my tracks to listen to this amazing display of musicianship! Nothing flashy, just music.

Clive Bunker is hugely underrated. His playing on Stand Up was a real eye opener for me - up there with Ginger Baker and Mitch Mitchell.

David Garibaldi & Steve Gadd are two that I'd dream to play
A set with.

Who played drums on the first King Crimson record?

wishbass · « **Reply #28 on:** May 08, 2012, 06:51:14 PM »

Wasn't it Michael Giles?I think that's right

From Wiki,Giles orchestrated much of the compositional structure of the first Crimson album In the Court of the Crimson King,[1] and his ability to weave challenging yet seamless tempo changes and subtle melodic deviations into a piece is not only evident in the compositions, but also in his highly elaborate and skilled drumming. He was most notably the first rock drummer to use more than one bass drum, so that he could play faster beats using those drums.
