Off the top of my head: Neil Peart, Ginger Baker, Phil Collins, Levon Helm, John Bonham, Dave Grohl, Bill Ward, Ringo, and Tony Thompson.

As a drummer, gotta love a drum thread. This is always so hard to pick...I like different drummers, for different reasons...but some favorites:

* Adam Deitch: Great groove/feel, fun solo ideas, in demand session player.



* Trilock Gurtu: A one man movie soundtrack. Amazing percussionist/drummer. The craziest thing about Trilock though is he only uses two limbs-just his hands. Discovering his playing early in my career changed everything I knew about drums. When you leave Dave Weckl speechless, you've done something right.



* Chris Dave: Fresh, creative, funky, etc. Pushing the limits on 'groove playing'. Here he is with the amazing Pino P on bass.



* Vinnie Colaiuta: What's to say...one of the best 'chops guy' going. Recorded for everyone, from Sting, Frank Zappa, Faith Hill to Megadeath.



* Dave Weckl: Chops legend. Love this solo by him; funky, fun, scary.

 
Sean reinert is my favorite, because he is one of the most complete drummers i've heard.

Here he is in his earlier metal days playing with death:



and here he is playing a prog/jazz fusion style with gordian knot:

Akira is a beast. Met him years ago at a recording studio, super cool dude. Good thing I speak zero Japanese.
 
Keith Moon easily followed by John Bonham

Bonham is still one of my all time favorite R&R drummers...so rock solid, creative, funky, etc.
