Bill Ward (everyone all together now,duh,like we didn't expect that)
Armando Acosta(not too well known and underrated drummer for Saint Vitus,nobody sounds like A.A.,primitive sounding,yet skilled
John (Wolf) Covington,I was fortunate to have attended several Solitude shows and Wolf always blew me away.
Tim Tomaselli ,drummer for Place Of Skulls,the man is a living inspiration and a cool guy
I also witnessed the skill of Ted Kirkpatrick,the man played a drum solo to classical accompaniment,amazing!

Ted Kirkpatrick of course,a HUGE influence on me

Dan "Loord" Foord from Sikth

and Daniel Erlandsson from Arch Enemy, I just really like the way he plays

There are a ton more, but those are probably my favorites

...so true....................Aside from Genesis and his solo stuff Collins was great in his fusion group Brand X as well...........

I think Tico Torres is a very underrated drummer. He lays down a great beat.

Personal favourite is Bill Kreutzmann from the Grateful Dead. Great Jazz feel.

Neil Peart
Bill Ward
Nicko McBrain
John Bonham
Dave Lombardo
Gene Hoglan
Stuart Copeland
Jayson Sherlock
Ted Kirkpatrick
Derek Roddy
Mike Smith

There are a few jazz drummers that I really dig too, but I'm assuming we're sticking to rock/metal territory here...

I totally forgot Scott Rockenfield.

Nick Menza. That man knows how to rock out a song.

Gar Samuelson a close second.

I'm a Megadeth fanboy, can you tell?

I keep forgetting a lot of good players...these two are also favorites, though I prefer Gar Samuelson over Menza. Both are great though.

Great choices, there. Both are awesome.

On a diffrent musical spectrum, I also forgot to mention Ginger Baker and Mitch Mitchell in my first post. Amazing drummers with high energy and an ability to really make you *feel* the grooves they laid down.

Nah, that would be keyboardists, contemplating how Rick Wakeman would change the light bulb.

It doesn't take any drummers to change a light bulb. We have machines that can do it.

Actually, that joke goes:

How many bass players does it take to change a lightbulb?

None. The keyboardist can do it with his left hand. Cool
