My favorite under-rated drummers (aside from myself), in no particular order. . .
The late Karen Carpenter - a monster. Saw her live in Chicago back in the day. They turned her loose on an extended solo. Amazing.
Don Brewer. Master of the Snare/Tom/Bass triplet lick. And everybody knows the slick opening to We're An American Band.
The late John Panozzo. Some of his fills sound like boxes falling down a flight of stairs, (and Dennis DeYoung's vibrato is so wode you can drive a truck through it), but hey, Styx with John put some great, memorable tunes out there. "Lady", with the Bolero ending? Come on! :-)
Danny Seraphine. Catchy fills. Memorable grooves. His stuff with Chicago was/is creative and it still holds up today.
