I couldn't name just one. I'm a pretty lousy drummer myself but there's quite a few drummers that are really great and simply play amazing: Dave Weckl, Jeff Porcaro, Neil Peart.
It also depends on what you're into. I don't like drummers who are technically very skilled but kill a song by playing too many notes (Mike Portnoy, Jimmy Chamberlain). Others are really good at playing solo's (Terry Bozzio) and others are great at playing grooves (David Garibaldi, Vinny Colauita).
Some are great rock drummers (Danny Carey, Stewart Copeland) and then there are some awesome jazz drummers (Antonio Sanchez, Brian Blade, Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez). And there are many legends like Buddy Rich, Max Roach, Art Blakey, John Bonham.
All these drummers are great and worth checking out. And the list just goes on and on
