Fave drummers of all time

I'm not a huge fan of making lists of favourite musicians, as there are bound to be better musicians in whatever I haven't heard of yet but, mainly, it's not exactly something I spend a lot of time thinking about.

I'll just (perhaps predictably) give Pete Thomas of the Attractions a shout though. As I say, I'm sure there are plenty better than him out there, but the man's really knows how to pound out a great rhythm, and he's such a versatile player too.
 
Where to start...

In no particular order:

Steve Smith
Jojo Mayer
Danny Carey
John Bonham
Jimmy Charaberlin
That guy from Porcupine Tree
Dave Weckl
Steve Gadd
Johnny Rabb
Buddy Rich

I like a lot. Travis Barker = Crap
 
well one of my top3 favs goes to Carl Palmer

Carl Palmer played in Emerson Lake and Palmer and played some really hard stuff

i always admired his speed and complexity, and he got me into prog rock
 
Well it is the 'Favourite Drummers' thread, so someone else's tastes might differ.
 
Mitch Mitchell is quite amazing and vastly underrated, well he's esteemed pretty high by those that looked beyond Jimi's guitar work. Don't get me started on Noel Redding.
