Best Rock Drummers

I've seen most of them and by far the two that stand out are Neil Peart of Rush and Ceasar Z. of Golden Earring. For non-rock I would say it's a no brainer with Buddy Rich.

Just listen to him on the Frank Zappa disc "The Grand Wazoo". Technical mastery as well as artistic originality. There are few that are his equal technically, and I would put him in my top five overall.
