[GT49er]

Leaving aside jazz, which I don't know enough about (although I understand Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich were quite good), my choices would be:
Keith Moon
Ian Paice
Aynsley Dunbar
Will Birch
Evelyn Glennie

 

[ozzygull]

Phil Collins and before anyone laughs and says the drum solo in “in the air tonight” is not complicated, try listening to some early Genesis or Brand X and then reassess.

 

[half time scores]

Yoyoka Soma is pretty good for an 8 year old.

Bill Bruford managed not to be sacked by Robert Fripp from King Crimson over the course of some 30 years, also played with Yes and Genesis as well as having a significant Solo career, think he has a fair chance of being up there?

 

[Miximate]

Cozy Powell. Dance with the Devil one of the first records I ever bought

 

[BN9 BHA]

 

[Seagull kimchi]

Robert Wyatt

 

[perseus]

Most recorded drummer of all time
