1) Neil Peart (RUSH)
2) Virgil Donati (solo and now with Planet X, the most incredible drummer i've ever heard on double bass)
3) Jim Keltner (probably the best studio drummer in the world)
I also have great respect for guys like Danny Carey (TOOL), Phil Collins, Simon Philips, Terry Bozzio, Josh Frese, Mark Brezecki (sp?), Manu Katche and many others.
