John Bonham gets my vote 'cause I'll always have a soft spot for Zeppelin and they were all exceptional musicians, but my favorite has to be Tomas Haake of Meshuggah. Lots of bands try math metal but nobody really gets it right, and even though the time signatures aren't as crazy as they used to be, Tomas has turned unusual grooves into usual grooves and that makes him a drummer with character.
