Name three of yours the most favourite drummers

How about Hal Blaine? He's played on gazillions of top selling hit songs. I'd be willing to wager there's at least one recording in everybody's collection that features his excellent and tasteful playing.
He's the master at playing exactly what the song requires and nothing more. He doesn't get into the egotistic gyrating that interests only other drummers, instead he finds the proper groove, propels the song forward and places a tasty fill where it works best. While he certainly is an excellent technician, he is without a doubt the most musical drummer ever to play on records, having provided the push that made many songs so memorable.

There are even drummers mentioned in this thread whose parts on their records were actually played by Hal.

I wouldn't think of calling Buddy a great musician, let alone the "best" drummer. While he was a great technician, he wouldn't play any arrangement that didn't feature him as a "soloist", even when he didn't have a drum solo in the song.
Drummers like Hal Blaine and Bernard Purdie were team players, playing parts that would place the "song" as the top priority, not their egos. Buddy never did that kind of thing, as it just wasn't in his personality.
And speaking of personality, ask any player who ever shared the stage with Buddy (or worked for him) exactly what they thought of him.
