Out of those listed I would go for Ginger Baker. Cream, Fela Kuti and Hawkwind to name just a few artists he has worked with. Outside of that list:

Dave Lombardo-Not just for his speed but his sheer athleticism on a kit and his work belied a very technical drummer.

Gavin Harrison- He uses all the kit and in unexpected ways too. One of the few drummers that I could probably listen to a solo by.

Bill Ward-Sometimes the simplest rhythms are the best and his sound was as heavy as Bonhams.

I love Ringo too, but he isn't a virtuoso drummer.

I'm so psyched that he's now playing for the Crimson. Can't wait for their new album.

Chick Webb and Max Weinberg should probably get some mention.
