I can really give a shit about the bulk of the Who catalogue but Live at Leeds is a monster (not that reissue with the Tommy bullshit) closely followed by Who's Next.

Bobby Jarzombek (Spastic Ink, Halford, Riot)
Nobody can touch Bobby, IMO. Insane chops, great feel, impeccable timing. He is the god of drumming.
Sean Reinert (Cynic, Death, Aghora, Gordian Knot)
One of the first, if not THE first, to mix jazz drumming into metal. Was a long time favorite until I heard Bobby.
Tim Alexander (Primus, Attention Deficit, Oxygene8)
I never fully appreciated him until I heard Attention Deficit. I'm paying attention now.
Brann Dailor (Mastodon, Lethargy, Today is the Day)
Just a monster. He's all over the kit, yet it all works together somehow. The dude must sweat gallons during a show, he nevers stops moving.
Asgeir Mickelson (Spiral Architect, lots of black metal bands)
Easily the best thing to come out of the Norwegian BM scene. Hellhammer Schmellhammer. Asgeir is so much better. All Hellhammer has is speed; Asgeir has it all.
Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Testament, Grip Inc.)
Definitely one of the best metal drummers around. He may not have the jazz timing that some of my other favorites do, but for thrash, look no further.
Neil Peart (Rush)
From my understanding, he was the first to use 32nd notes in drumming. Of course, I was like 14 when I heard that, so it probably isn't true. Still, he's a legend you have to respect.
Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson, Gordian Knot)
I don't think he's quite as good as some people make him out, but he's definitely worthy of his legend status.
Alex Arellano (Power of Omens)
He does some very unqiue things with his drums. It's all in the timing, too. Gotta respect him, even if it is a bit much for the music.
I wish I knew the names, but the following bands have insane drummers, too:
The Mars Volta
Ephel Duath
Nebelnest
Sotos

If a hundred drummers (including Carey) all lined up and played the exact same rhythm, I could probably pick which one is Carey. Plus he is just a joy to watch, it's like a religious experience, or something. I dunno how to explain it, it just rules.J. said:
Drummers mentioned that rule: Nick Barker, Bill Burford, Brann Dailor.

Yeah, Keith Moon for sure...The Who live (from back in the day) > any other band live
The dude from Drudkh - I suppose he's the same guy in Hate Forest?
Nick Menza
Nico McBrain
You can't say Neal Peart and not mention John Bonham
Igor Cavalera - it's the tribal shit
Proscriptor - HOLY MOTHER OF GOAT!!
Those who can't do, teach. And those who can't teach, teach gym.

I totally appreciate that dude now, after years of hating him. I kept telling my friend "FUCK RINGO!" and he played me a bunch of obscure Beatles songs where the dude just wails. So yeah, now he can go back to fighting with Pete Townshend for Ugliest Big Nosed Fucker in The Land.JayKeeley said:

after Buddy Rich, of course.

May favourites are already mentioned (especially by the beloved morrissey fanboy above) so i will just say:
RANDY "THRASHER" FOXE
of Manilla Road
the guy played the (really technical sometimes) drums of M.R. AND keyboards at the same time in live shows.
im saying the truth

Off the top of my head, Max Weinberg was cited by the PlayboyPop and Jazz Music Poll (1985) and the Rolling Stone Critics Poll (1986) as Best Drummer, Weinberg has performed or recorded with some of contemporary musics biggest names including Sting, Paul McCartney, Peter Gabriel, Barbra Streisand, Ringo Starr, Natalie Merchant, Pete Townshend of the Who and Meatloaf. Weinbergs performances on the classic rock albums Born in the U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and Bat Out of Hell by Meatloaf earned him the distinction of having played on the first and second largest selling albums in rock history.
Yep. Max on Max was one of the funniest thing Conan did, it was during a bit on new cable channels, and that was the name of one. It was Max Weinberg humping Max Weinberg 24 hours a day, just as creepy as it was hilarious.
