Inspired by the Favorite Guitarists Thread,....which I know most of us are (well I'm a bassist who plays a little geetar),....and while we all aren't drummers,....I'm sure there are big names who we feel are absolutely tasty on their instrument.
So who are your favorite drummers (no drummer jokes please).
For me,....Stewart Copeland tops the list but other dudes that consistently put me in a state of awe and make me want to get behind the kit and be like them.
Billy Martin
Stanton Moore
Jojo Meyer
Thomas Haake

Not sure who else. I don't have as many drummers names on tap as I do guitarists.

Zach Hill is more one of my favorite musicians who is a drummer than my favorite drummer, but when's not just freaking the fuck out and doing more abstract stuff he can still come up with some sweet grooves.
Richard Mazzotta of mewithoutYou is also one of the best rock drummers I've heard.
Blanking on others, will return....

I like the Lopez live group more than Volta, but yeah, I'm in love with that guy.

I like the group too, some sweet jams on You're Welcome, which I think was recorded when those videos were shot.
