Everyone has listed some great drummers in terms of pure technique and speed, but for drummers who just get in the groove (and stay there) how about the great Al Jackson who played on so much of the Stax material (Otis Redding being my favorite). Even though I am no great fan of the Stones, I would say Charlie Watts is a great groove drummer, and finally probably a jazz drummer like Art Blakey.
Name three of yours the most favourite drummers
I nominate the following
1. Mark Nauseef
2. Ginger Baker(yeah, the erly one!)
3. Jackie Liebezeit
