My personal opinion:

1. Cozy Powell
2. Ginger Baker
3. Ringo Starr
4. Ian Paice
5. Phil Collins

In no particular order.

Dave Grohl - Nirvana/Foo Fighters
Randy Castillo - Ozzy
Phil Selway - Radiohead
Phil Taylor - Motorhead

Larry Mullen Jr. - U2
Danny Carey - Tool
Scott Travis - Pink Floyd
Martin Lopez - Opeth

Nicko McBrain - Iron Maiden
Ringo Starr - Beatles
Dave Lombardo - Slayer
Ian Paice - White Snake
John Bonham - Led Zeppelin
Neil Peart - Rush

There are so many that I just couldn't stop.

I determined that everyone says that the Rev is the best drummer EVER fom A7X!!!

In random order:

Hammer: Kult ov Azazel
Brent Williams: Atrocious Abnormality/Bloodsoaked
David Swanson: Kommandant
Tony Laureno: live/studio drummer
Gene Hoglan: Dethklok, Testament, Strapping Young Lad, Old Man's Child, Death
Shannon Lucas: The Black Dahlia Murder
Chris Warhead: Abazagorath
Jess Margera: CKY
Hellhammer: Immortal, Dimmu Borgir
Frost: 1349, Ov Hell, Satyricon, Gorgoroth (studio)


ummm have to think of more

Anthony V Lopez: Satan's Host

- Terry Bozzio (Frank Zappa, Fantomas, etc)
- Danny Carey (Tool, Pigmy Love Circus)
- Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Fantomas)
- Tim Alexander (Primus, Laundry, Puscifer)

Surprised I haven't seen Terry Bozzio mentioned yet. He's the best drummer in the world, as far as I'm concerned. I've seen two of his drum clinics. I play drums myself.

Matt Greiner (August Burns Red)
Jordan Mancino (As I Lay Dying)

Mike Smith: Suffocation
Nicholas Barker: Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Testament (live)
