Not being as much of a drum aficionado as perhaps I should, this was a challenge for me. The first five were easy, the last five required some digging.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Tony Williams yet. I'd also like mention Lenny White and Billy Hart.
I haven't heard much from Tony, but from Lenny I can only repeat what Friede said about him, he's techincally great but his style(and sound, always found his drum sound insipid) never did much for me.

I'm not as big on Lenny White's drumming as the others I mentioned. That said, I love White's album Venusian Summer.

The first three are more or less fixed; the rest are constantly changing.
Modified Friede's list, but she had quite a lot of good drummers on here already.
