Wicked World (jazzy Sabbath)

War Pigs (darker jazzy Sabbath)

Also I just found a guy called Billy Ward looking for Black Sabbath's drummer:

Modern Drummer vest

Mitch Mitchell with Jimi Hendrix was pretty jazzy too, wasn't he? I'm most familiar with jazz drummers on a rock level, sorry.

BTW: I agree with your sentiment of Jazz drumming; it's what has inspired me to try being a drummer and take note of good drumming.
If we're talking about jazz-inspired drummers in rock Robert Wyatt is another good choice.

Albeit, I don't know, I still feel the pale in comparison to their Jazz counterparts, or Jimmy Carl Black, Art Tripp, or any of the percussionists to work with Zappa and/or Beefheart.

When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
Al Pacino = God
