Personally I don't care for King DIamond. Just can't stand his voice. That weak and whiny high pitch! I'm sure that drummer is very good but its not always about how fast someone can play and double base or some long solo in the middle of the show. Dave Holland was a very good solid drummer for Priest during their prime years. I liked the sound of his drums, his playing and he did just enough without overpowering everything else.
And J.d. Dianomd, it just come down to a matter of opinion about Dave Holland and Ian Hill. You say Ian Hill is good but not top ten worthy or as good as Steve Harris. Thats your opinion and I respect that but I'm sure some people will disagree.
I'll keep Dave Holland on my list.

Listen to the songs DRUMMING though.
Now go listen to old school King Diamond.
Tell me who's a better drummer.
Mickey Dee or Dave Holland. Dave didn't even drum with his wrists. He drummed with his arms. HUGE mistake as a drummer. Basically the best drum fill he could DO was at the first of Riding on the Wind.
We all know Ram It Down was like 80% drum machine. So don't even SAY he did Hard As Iron haha.
