I have a lot of problems with your list...but my knowledge of 3/4 of them is totally based on the band not the drummer....so i'll keep them to myself arax
1. Buddy Rich 2. Mike Portnoy 3. Neil Peart 4. Tomas Haake (I have just discovered Meshuggah, so he might climb up the list in the weeks to come) 5. John Bonham 6. Gavin Harrison 7. Bryan Mantia 8. Tim Alexander
neil pert is one of the best because of his style it is so simple yet complicated to do unless you understan the rudimentry parts of his playing (sorry im a drumr if you dont understand this then dont worry about it)
