Wow...I have sooooo many. A few... John Bonham (of course) Keith Moon (once again...OF COURSE) Nick Mason Sean Kinney Dave Grohl (yes, the Foo Fighters, but as the drummer for Nirvana he was the shit) Pretty much any (real) death metal drummers, but my favorite is Richard Christy Jan Axel Blomberg AKA Hellhammer Dave Lombardo Brad Wilk Lars Ulrich Joey Jordison Mitch Mitchell Dave Krusen Vinnie Paul Matt Cameron Probably some others I can't think of...

at least in rock music DRUMMERS really matter and i personally can't pin point to one i have tons of fav drummers some are for example : Neil Peart , Keith Moon , John Bonham , Nicko Mcbrain
Keith moon and John bonham (duh duh duh) Travis barker (cliche') Buddy Rich(duh) Neil Peart Steve Jocz (listen to 32 ways to die by Sum 41) Tre Cool (Listen to Jesus of Suburbia by Green day, or welcome to paradise) and Dave Grohl (duh) Life's a bitch and I'm just along for the ride.
Yeah and when you listen to enough rock, you start to realize that each drummer has their own specialities. one I can think of off the top of my head is Tre Cool. He has some crazy fast songs and can keep up, and at the same time add little fills, and on top of that sing backup or even lead vocals. He's not the best drummer ever, but he definitley has skill. Life's a bitch and I'm just along for the ride.
