Ginger Baker
John Bonham
Ed Cassidy - Spirit. I met him at an airport waiting for the same plane and thought I died and went to heaven. Had a really nice chat.
Zakir Hussain pretty much dusts everyone else, lol. I'd like to see any westerner play the tablas at that level. Even among other highly skilled Indian drummers this guy is a legend.
Of course this thread doesn't seem to be talking about non-western drumming, so for that my list is a hodgepodge of musical styles:
-Bill Ward
-Terry Bozzio
-Bill Kreutzmann (not generally flashy, but the guy can swing.)
-Carmine Appice
- Tomas Hakke (even though I hate djent, still gotta give him props.)
- Neil Peart
- Bill Bruford
And, to me, the king:
Billy Cobham!
Check him out on this song. Sheer perfection, imho.
