(    ) Represent the acts in which I find said drummer my 'favourite'. If I don't like the music, I'm not going to listen to a record just to hear him play. I'm much more of a guitar-orientated person anyway.

I like them all for entirely different reasons, be it technical chops or a great feel for the music. I must say I think 'feel' is the most important thing that a drummer should have. Gavin Harrisson is kind of a God in this respect, because he's the most tasteful technical drummer I've ever heard. This guy is just.. insane.

In order:

John Bonham (Led Zeppelin)
Nick Mason (Pink Floyd) - Most underrated drummer on this list -> See 'Live in Pompeii' for proof.
Gavin Harrisson (Porcupine Tree, OSI)
Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment)
Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle, (Spice Girls :lol) )
Steve Jordan (John Mayer)
Steve Gadd (Peter Gabriel, Eric Clapton, and loads of other stuff)
Ringo Starr (The Beatles)
Thomas Haake (Meshuggah)
Dino Campanella (dredg)
Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures)

Not a big drum guy, but the two who have stood out through my musical journey for the past 30-some years have been:

Keith Moon
Mike Portnoy

On a personal level, perhaps my favorite musician is a local drummer named Jon Bolton (not currently serving as National Security Advisor). He's been playing the local circuit at least since I've been 21 (that's 20+ years for those of you scoring at home, or even those who are alone). I cannot speak to how talented of a drummer he is, but he is the most damn entertaining musician I've ever seen, and a cool guy as I have spoken with him a couple times.

As a drummer, there's just so many great ones. I guess I have a few that's been very important to me in my playing but also for just being great drummers

The legends:

Dave Weckl (Hands down my favourite drummer ever and the drummer that's made the biggest impact on my playing)
Vinnie Colaiuta
Joe Morello
Buddy Rich


Other drummers that influenced me one way or the other:

Nicko McBrain
Thomas Haake
Virgil Donati
Sebastian Lanser
Marco Minnemann
Todd Sucherman
Benny Greb
Per Lindvall
Cliff Almond

I can go on and on, soooo many great drummers other there today.

I read that quick as "MAX Portnoy" and thought "good for him!" and then "MIKE Weinberg" and thought "how nice of Zydar to put the kid that lives down the block on his list!".

My drumming Mount Rushmore:
Bonham
Peart
Portnoy
Collins

There are other drummers I like - Bruford, Tim Alexander, Stephen Perkins, Ringo, Ian Mosley, Jaimoe/Butch, Mickey/Bill - but those are the four that I will sometimes put on a song JUST to hear them.

That space between the first and the others is intended. Phil really is my absolute favourite drummer.

Favorite drummers are:

Mike Portnoy (so many great, memorable fills, beats, probably favorite to listen to)
Neil Peart (The professor, 'nuff said)
Gavin Harrison (like a machine, always "on", very unique)
Thomas Lang (not in many great bands, but what a beast)
Marco Minnemann (The ultimate "pro" always plays awesome without overplaying)
Keith Moon (unique, when he was on, HE WAS ON!, Live at Leeds is an awesome example of this)
Brian Downey (underrated, had a great "swing" feel)
Danny Carey (solid, love his sound on all albums and live stuff)
