Roach, you missed one of my favorites, Ed Shaughnessy, most known for his time with the Tonight Show Band, back in the day.... one of the truest greats...
People seem to have overlooked Latina sensation Sheila E. of "Prince" fame.
and yes, Neil Pert rocks! His innovation, along with Geddy Lee, in bringing "odd" time meters to Rock music leaves others often in the dust.
Lest you all think I am too old, let's not forget Cindy Blackman, She's performed with a list of Jazz, Funk and Rock greats long as your arm, recently Lenny Kravitz...
Lastly, and by no means least, is Allan White, from "YES"
Hope that gives some of you skins lovers a few names to look into more! for me, well, I'm a guitarist... <grin> I'll go back to teaching the bass player his part. (Kidding, c'mon)
