Patrik Hultin (Burst) : I looooove his style.

Jaska Raaidlkajfakljff ( children of bodom) : great style, fast without being cocky
Martin Lopez ( ex-Opeth) : wonderfull technique!
Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) : he has a beastly kit
Adrian Erlandson? (cradle of filth) : powerfull, fast, good stage presence
Ginger Fish (Marilyn Manson): interesting kit, meaning he's creative, good technique pretty insane on stage.

can't really think of any others.

 

[Matt]

^I agree with mendez for opeth. I love his kit tone, but he left, right?

and the bal-sagoth drummer is very good too.

 

[Mr. Moore]

Flo Mounier in Cryptopsy - one of the fastest I've ever heard.

Jan Axel von Blomberg in Mayhem, Arcturus, etc. - a chameleon drummer. I particularly like his stick work on The Sham Mirrors and Chimera.

David Gray in Akercocke - Great drummer AND a great lyricist.

Davide Piovesan in Ephel Duath - even more jazz-ingrained than Atheist or Cynic. Very inventive.

Pat Mastelotto in King Crimson - I love that he's not afraid to incorporate programmed drums into his playing, and quite extensively, at that.

Dave !! - Slayer Lombardo absolutely OWNS in the lightning fazst fills department
Mark Zonder - former Fates Warning. Technical wizard with style to match. Extremely underrated.
Andreas Lill - Vanden Plas Andy wouldn't have made my list except for the latest VP release. He absolutely blew me away on that one.
Kirk Arrington - former Metal Church "Blessing in Disguise" might be the best "drum" release I can think of. Great, great playing in this one. Not the technical wizardry some possess, but style that sets above anyone else.
Stian Kristoffersen - Pagans Mind. This guy is as good of a drummer there is today. He is unbelievable in style and technical ability.
Vinnie Paul - Pantera. Great doublle kicker. Still enjoy his old Pantera work.
Phil Rudd - former AC/DC pure "in the pocket player, but a master at timing and metre. Tougher to play than he sounds due to his perfection.
Michael Cartellone - Lynyrd Skynyrd (former Damned Yankees etc.) I saw Skynyrd a few years back and they aren't typically the style of band that makes you think to yourself... "Wow !! their drummer kicks ass !!" Indeed it happened though. The guy is a mchine, and put in his own unique touches all throughout the huge Skynyrd setlist. He is a powerhouse.
