My best drummers list is very long, but since we are in the jazz forum, I could probably condense it to maybe 3 pages. Ahaha anyway here are a few: Roy Haynes, Max Roach, Al Foster, Tony Williams, Buddy Rich, Elvin Jones, Elvin Jones, Elvin Jones, Louie Bellson. I mean there are lots more of course. Oh and Buddy Rich again. And Buddy Rich forever.
Steve Gadd isn't it? What about Bozzio, you think he's 5 star? Oh yeah Chad Wackerman :2thumbsup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYBhDPt0Zew"]Terry Bozzio & Chad Wackerman - YouTube

Yeah Bozzio is deff my favorite. In that vein, Thomas Lang as well. Also Todd Sucherman, who played with Styx and Brian Wilson (two pretty different artists), and Jojo Mayer (his early stuff is very Bozzio-like in the thematicism).
