I tripped across this thread again and realized that no one has yet mentioned Winston Grennan. It can be fairly (though not conclusively) argued that Grennan invented reggae. He is pretty much universally credited with the "one drop" beat - bass drum on the third - that forms the basis of the genre. He played with everyone from Count Basie to Paul Simon - not mention my man, Kid Creole.

I haven't seen Budgie from Siouxsie and the Banshees mentioned. That guy can kick some serious ass with two sticks. Talk about underrated style, sophistication and dead on precision, let alone his ability to make his playing sound like a trio of drummers. Absolutely amazing percussionist. Check him out. If you've ever been to a Banshees show, you know what I'm talking about.
