Who is the most ridiculous, extravagent, "pretentious" over the top drummer ever?
(Not necessarily best, though possibly)

Obviously Portnoy. I think he needed to cut back on the new album and he did, but I'd like it if he revamped his style or drum sound a bit.

If you mean it in a good way then Zach Hill. He's a madman!

Portnoy plays drums annoyingly.

For pretentiousness, gotta go with Narada Michael Walden, followed by his predecessor with Mahavishnu, Billy Cobham. For over-the-topitude, I nominate Mothers-era Terry Bozzio -- the sum'bitch just never lets up!

You know, I love Mike's drumming, but I would like to see him experiment a bit more, try something new, take a risk...

I'd consider Brann Dailor of Mastodon to be a little "ridiculous" and "over the top", but I like it. He's one of my favorite drummers.

^^^^ I agree about Brann Dailor. Another ridiculously busy drummer is
Furio Chirico of "Arti e Mestieri" and "the Trip" (among others).

Anybody heard Marco Minnemann play? I think he fits the ridiculously over the top description.

Well, Animal did have the guts to take on Buddy Rich.

Uh, his name is Animal? Guys, if we're going to discuss serious musicians, let's use the proper handles, shall we?

One of my favorites as well. Mastodon seem to use drums as both a rhythm and a lead instrument. I enjoy it. A lot.

Portnoy doesn't know when to shut up. He has very little reserve. His overplaying can be ridiculous.

For those of you who didn't say useless things concerning Portnoy, which has nothing to do with the topic by the way, thanks for your responses!
I'm going to check out the guys mentioned here that I really don't know much about, such as "Zach Hill." I don't even remember where I know that name from.
