MKV, I like your choices. I couldn't possibly name all my favorite drummers in one sitting. It depends on who I am listening to and what kind of mood I'm in. But for me it's the classics that withstand the test of time, Drummers such as:

Elvin Jones
Tony Williams
Art Blakey
Mitch Mitchell
Mickey Roker
Tony Williams
Harvey Mason
John Bonham
Buddy Rich
Billy Cobham

Ginger Baker
Jojo Mayer
Vinnie (The man, the legend)

It goes on and on...
 
John Bonham
Jon Theodore
Travis Barker
Buddy Rich
Virgil Donati
Gene Krupa
Neil Peart
 
To be honest...every drummer has inspired me...


i mean you learn most things from the drum-stars but once you notice a mere mortal play something amazing you just want to get closer to that playing so you go back to your Bonham poster (or that of anybody else) and practice under his watchfull gaze.

I once went to see Dave Weckl...he came to my country for two night and a clinic (i have to say i missed the clinic because of school responsibilities) ... after i saw him play, i went home around 1 a.m and i practised...

i must say, i dont practise that much...it seems i need a boost like that every now and then to get back to practising...but i cant expect mr. Weckl to come by every day, now can I?
 
i agree with seras...i am inspired by many drummers and utilize their techniques in my own playing. in my early days chad sexton of 311 inspired me...now it is more danny carey of tool. that entire band is just somthing else...very original and very powerful.
