Jean Yves Tola from 16 Horsepower. Not for technique, per se. But, IMHO, few drummers define the sound of their band the way Tola does. This is a particularly difficult trick in this circumstance, since the band's lead singer, David Eugene Edwards, is such a powerful and distinctive presence.

Winston Grennan from Kid Creole. A (THE, if you believe Wikipedia) definitive one-drop player.

Wilfredo Reyes Jr and Taku Hirano. Lindsey Buckingham's drummers. Very different styles, but both are great players IMHO.

Memories!

I saw Little Feat in Central Park NYC in the '70s and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Special Bonus: the opening act was a band called Seatrain and Lowell George sat in on guitar for their whole show. An unbelievable night of music
