Carlton Barrett- father of the one drop reggae sound. Listen to his raw drumming on this isolated drum track, "Lively up Yourself" from the Natty Dread album. It doesn't feel like he's doing much, but the beat's tight. Good Headphones required.
Brad Wilk
Ben Thatcher
Matt Helders
Moe Tucker.
Bobby Gillespie (when borrowing Moe's style).
Wolfgang Flür.
Klaus Dinger.
Ooh! Forgot about Budgie, good call.
No mention yet of Vinnie Colaiuta or Dave Weckl. Both instantly recognisable and can play anything.
Really surprised not to see these two until the second page!

One of my current fave players is Larnell Lewis:

The story about that session is that he apparently was flown in at the last minute having had the flight only to prepare, and nailed that in one take!

Dave Grohl on "Songs for the Deaf" which is awesome but there have been others.
Ringo, mainly. I believe there have been others.
Clem Burke
Rat Scabies
Brandon Petzborn
Delta Empire ( whoever he is, just because he puts in the "ting" on the cymbal bell ,that I think should be there , in his cover of War Ensemble)
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread 🙏 Easter weekend listening will be great 👍
as a person of a certain age who was set free by punk rock a secret love of:
Greenslade and the drummer Andy McCulloch
Has anyone mentioned Kieth Moon yet?
Another vote for Dave Grohl here.
If you are a fan then this a great bit of TV:

Anyone that doesn't do any kind of F****** drum solo !!
I hate Dave Weckl 😆
I present to you: The worst piece of music ever played
But that Carlton Barrett video, above, is ****ing brilliant and I could listen to it all day 😀
I hate Dave Weckl
I've heard he's not too keen on you either!😉

Agreed, though I think that was from a tutorial DVD rather than being a composition in its own right.
Compare that to his work with Chick Corea and the latter is/was amazing:
Has anyone said John Stanier yet?
Chicken.
Oh MUSIC??, sorry 🙂
Still partial to them though 😀
Can't **** with the porcaro shuffle
Where do YOU stand on the whole Purdue/Bonham/porcaro shuffle debate?
Porcaro for the win. Silky smooth and more ghost notes than a errrrr... haunted house?
Sticking a clave rhythm bass drum pattern is where it gets creative
