I'm going to have to give it to Dave Grohl. His work on the skins is simply incredible. Not sure how good he is now since he doesn't play that much but back in the day he was the man. Any thoughts?
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I think Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater or Danny Carey of Tool.

    Dave Lombardo of Slayer is also a great one.

    Tim Alexander of Primus
    Bill Burford of King Crimson (formerly Yes)
    Janet Weiss of Sleater-Kinney
    Neil Peart of Rush
    Matt Cameron of Pearl Jam

    can't go wrong with any of those five folks.

    I can't argue with any of the choices, but as far as rock bands, Danny Carey and Neil Peart take the cake for me.

    Jon Theodore from The Mars Volta. He is absolutely insane. I am normally much more of a guitar person than a drum person, but I couldn't stop watching him drum when I saw them live. Scary good.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    I'm gonna go with Grohl too. Simply because "Songs for the Deaf", never before have I heard drums that literally make the album!
    Which came first,
    the bad idea or me befallen by it?

    In short, the answer is either Buddy Rich or Flo from Cryptopsy. Not even a question. If you aren't saying them it is because you haven't heard them (or just don't like Jazz and death metal drumming)

    Buddy Rich is well dead.

    Shit, you are indeed right. In that case it is unquestionably Flo.

    Brad Wilk of Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave is also a good one.
