In any genre, who are your faves? I was listening to The Police yesterday and forgot how great a drummer Stewart Copeland is which led me to think about this. My top five, in no order are:

Neal Peart - Rush
Carter Beauford - DMB
Dave A. - the Pearl Jam
Stewart Copeland - The Police
Tim Alexander - Primus

    I'm gonna throw out an underrated drummer, Eric Slick from the Adrian Belew Power Trio and now Dr. Dog. Dude can fucking play.
