1. Danny Carey (Tool)

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)

Hmm, perhaps I'm biased because I just ranted about him in another thread, but what of Blake Richardson from BTBAM?

As for my list, I can't say I know many drummers off hand aside from the ones at the top of this list. Danny Carey is definitely up there for me. When it comes to instruments in a traditional band, I am partial to the bass.
