some others

Jon Theodore (not as much experience...but way more creative with a signature style)

Jimmy Chamberlin (a lot of experience and talent)

Steve Gadd (Legend/...no other comments)

I just don't know about Jimmy Chamberlin.
But I heard he had that new stuff out so maybe he changed.

Piano and before you get all uppity, I meant you can go be meg white, not that any one can be great at them.

Hey no man, forget all these drummers.
Meg White is the best drummer in the world.
Her style is so unique and inspiring.
Smacking her sticks for 5 minutes brings tears to my eyes.

I did. Jon Theodore (The Mars Volta) is a very diverse drummer. He combines free-jazz with prog rock. Matching Omar Rodriguez-Lopez’s fusoid-psychedelic guitar riffs with a manic intensity that fuels his take no prisoners drumming.

No, I'm not pregnant or female.
But in general, (other than Meg White) most good drummers don't get enough credit because they are shadowed by the lead guitars and the vocals.
It's probably harder to keep four people in a band together than it is to go off and do your own seperate lead part.

He's doing a side project with Jack Johnson and Kirk Hammett

I'd say drummer in Nirvana and QOTSA, I probably prefer the Foos, and he is a good vocalist and guitarist, but he was a far better drummer.
