for me it's
NICKO McBrain
Cozy Powell
Tommy Lee
Neil Peart fantastic drummer and lyricist....RUSH...........
Gar Samuelson (rip), joey jordison, Tomas Haake and dave lombardo.

^ great names there chaps.For his all round technical ability,amazing drum fills and blinding speed,I'm going for Slayer's Paul Bostaph.
Alex Bent from Trivium is a force to be reckoned with also.
Lars...of course
Dave Lombardo
Joey Jordison
honorable mentions to -Ian Paice and Bill Ward influences on the 3 i mentioned
Igor Cavalera - Sepultura and others.
First time I saw them live my ears hurt for a week.

I've seen most of those named above but Brann Dailor from Masterdon blew me away more than any of them.
