Although I was never a fan of their music, Neil Pert has to be number one. John Bohnam second and an unlisted so far. Jimmy "the rev" Sullivan. He was a child drumming prodigy who's life was way too short.

Carl Palmer

Louie Bellson

Even tho I was a little young in his hey day, I still remeber Gene Krupa and in my opinion was the greatest of all.

There was even a movie about his life.

He was the first drummer inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame

I am surprised that no one has mentioned Ginger Baker.
