    That's impossible to answer. Best completely self-taught modern rock drummer, easy: Jose Pasillas.

    Steve Shelley - Sonic Youth
    Sam Fogarino - Interpol
    Justin Peroff - Broken Social Scene
    Josh Garza - the Secret Machines
    Howard Bilerman - Arcade Fire

    ...I admit to be "classic rock" ignorant, so all the drumming virtuosos (Bonham, Moon, Peart etc etc) mentioned in this thread are meaningless to me

    I just watched the Rush 30th Aniversary DVD... and Neil Peart is unreal. It doesn't even look like he is trying, and he is pulling off amazing drum lines, his technique is nearly perfect, he is so efficient. Also, whoever said Terry Bozzio, he's gotta be up there too.
    I was taught a month ago to bide my time and take it slow, but then I learned just yesterday to rush and never waste a day. Now I'm convinced the whole day long that all I've learned is always wrong. Things are true that I forget, but no one taught that to me yet

    yes he does hit those drums like they owe him money.
    my fave grohl track would have to be 'a song for the dead' - QOTSA.

    Oh yeah, this song is fucking amazing. My favorite 'Drum' record.

    My vote goes to Jimmy Chamberlin, based entirely on the song Silverfuck, oh and Jellybelly - both performances are AMAZING

    Bill Bruford (King Crimson in the 70s, check out the album Red, he was a big influence on my next choice)
    Danny Carey
    Jimmy Chamberlain
    Flo Mournier

    These are my favourites, not necessarily because of their technical prowess but because not many drummers can play in such a way that you can actually tell that it's them, but these guys definitely do. therefore, they rule.
