Hmm, perhaps I'm biased because I just ranted about him in another thread, but what of Blake Richardson from BTBAM?
As for my list, I can't say I know many drummers off hand aside from the ones at the top of this list. Danny Carey is definitely up there for me. When it comes to instruments in a traditional band, I am partial to the bass.
