Name three of yours the most favourite drummers

I don't have three favorite drummers.

I will say this though ... I saw Lynard Skynard some 30 years ago with 2 drummers doing solos and passing sticks through the air, not missing a beat and thought that was cool. I saw Diana Krall live in Montreal on Bravo channel and thought that the Peter Erskine performance was the most at-home, in his element drummer I had ever witnessed. I enjoyed watching Steve Gadd perform in "One Trick Pony" - his perfomance on 'Aja' - well...I wish I could have seen it. Dan Gottlieb at a Pat Metheny Group show in 1979. "Futureman" from Bela Fleck - the best non-drummer I had ever witnessed. All performances I shall remember - not necessarily the best. Oh yeah, the guy from Filter that went on to Smashing Pumpkins - honorable mention.

Elvin Jones, the late Art Blakey and Tony Williams

Joey Kramer,Kenny Aronoff,Neil Peart.

A few worth mentioning who are easy to overlook, unfortunately. Al Jackson Jr (from Booker T & the MGs), James Cobb (Miles Davis-Kind of Blue), Mike Clark (Headhunters), Scott Amendola

Try Brian Blade, and a not very well known drummer with shockingly good technique, Jojo Mayer, who started doing some very interesting live drum and bass music in the 90s in NYC(I hate synthesized music, and love watching Jojo play, so don't let this scare you away if you are like me). Check out the videos on youtube of Mayer playing at the 2005 Drummer World Show.
