I've seen most of them and by far the two that stand out are Neil Peart of Rush and Ceasar Z. of Golden Earring. For non-rock I would say it's a no brainer with Buddy Rich.
.....and the really neat thing about Kenny is he could play it all....classical, rock, jazz, country, pop, etc.. He holds a degree in classical music. Was Mellencamps long time drummer. Will never forget it.
Kenny Arinoff ( "the bald guy" ) referred to above. Saw him front row at a drum clinic. Never heard such force, power, yet with sublime delicacy. There were drummers in the audience, namely, Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick. Carlos' jaw was on the floor in awe.... Regards....
