I dont' know about 2-5, but #1 is easy.

Keith Moon- The Who

the obvious identity
Brain Mantia
Tatsuya Yoshida of Ruins
Dale Crover/Coady Willis both currently simultaneously drumming in The Melvins
Tim Alexander of Primus
Pete Thomas of Elvis Costello & The Attractions

With the exception of Tatsuya, who plays drums aggressively as a lead instrument, all of these guys have absurd amounts of technical skill, but they know restraint. They know when to stop flailing around and take a back seat to support the band by kicking a groove and filling out the song (while still employing masterful finesse and technique) instead of just making things more busy without contributing.

I was going to say "If Neil Peart isn't on someone's list, they don't listen to drumming" but I just did anyway. >=(

Jason Rullo - Symphony X (just an allround awesome drummer)
Neil Peart - Rush (THE PROFESSOR)
Albert Bouchard - Blue Öyster Cult (seriously underrated)
Vinnie Colaiuta - Megadeth (he was there only for The System Has failed, but did an amazing job)
Lars Ulrich - Metallica (well... he WAS good...)

He was the greatest drummer in history. Period.

If you don't agree, then listen to 'Love, Reign o'er Me' and then tell me that he sucks.

My list:
1. Keith Moon (The Who)
2. Lars Ulrich (Metallica)
3. Dom Howard (Muse)
4. Phil Selway (Radiohead)
5. Bill Bruford (Seriously, there are WAY too many bands to list here)

I give you that there are better Jazz drummers out there, but other than that it's hard to top Keith.

You've all failed me as drummers. Only two references to Colaiuta, one to his work with megadeth. Come on....alright...lemme break it down for you...

1. Colaiuta
2. Gadd
3. Purdy
4. Weckl
5. Jarzombek

I pick Jarzombek because I know him a bit, and I know that he writes everything he does down and he can re-do everything he's ever drummed perfectly.

The mark of a good drummer isn't when they can play one style very well, anyone can do that. It's the drummer that can pick up any style and make it sound like he's been playing it all his life. Why is Lars Ulrich even on the list of any of you, even in his hay days?

Kurt Vonnegut.
Greg Saunier.

The way he can make just a three-piece drum set sound so epic is awesome.
