I'm ignoring jazz/session drummers, because they're in a completely different category and incomparable.

1. Danny Carey (Tool)
2. Martin Lopez (Opeth)
3. Neil Peart (Rush)
4. Bill Bruford (King Crimson, Yes etc.)
5. Gene Hoglan (Dark Angel, Death, SYL, Testament etc...)
6. Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree)
7. Tim Alexander (Primus)
8. Stewart Copeland (Sting and the Police)
9. Jimmy Chamberlin (Smashing Pumpkins)
10. Tomas Haake (Meshuggah)


Even though I said I'm ignoring jazz/session drummers... I feel the need to say this. Vinnie Colaiuta is possibly the greatest drummer known to man. I saw Herbie Han**** with Colaiuta and even as a non-drummer I was practically exploding in my pants. That guy is so skilled, yet so tasteful. He has the perfect fills and doesn't overplay at all... He is amazing.
