I'm surprised by the number of people who have said that Lars Ulrich is a "great" drummer. He is definitely... a drummer, but nothing special really. Of course, you could put a quadruple amputee behind the drum set for MetallicA and I would still listen to it.

My personal favorite drummer is Vinnie Paul. (Formerly of Pantera/Damageplan) He's one of the few metal drummers I've listened to that plays with insane speed and technicality, rather than just playing fast and heavy.

I'm guessing you're a fan of drummers, generally.

Dennis Chambers is fantastic.

Also, there as an amazing video of Tony Royster Jr on Kazaa.
All drummers should see this video. The kid drumming is 12 years old. It will TOTALLY freak you out!
It's about 21 MB.

It's also on YouTube:

for flat out cool to watch, Gene Kupra. see the old video of Benny Goodman doing sing, sing, sing and watch Gene going crazy on the drums.

I completely agree. He's my my long time favourite and I can't see anyone coming close to him when it comes to pure swing drumming.
#1 for rock would be John Bonham and for all around jazz etc. I like Tommy Igoe.
