Xiekitchen has some hot drummers, but consider Manu Katche, Terry Bozzio, Trilok Gurtu, Phil Collins, Ginger Baker has done some interesting stuff, Steve Gadd is "in the pocket" - the list goes on.
I've always found it hard to quantify questions as such, believing that you can't really compare a great jazz drummer to a great rock drummer, just can't be done. You can only say their either good or not. I don't think that Tony Williams could drum good punk like Topper Heading of the Clash. None of them can play the tabla like Zakir Hussain.
