Who is your favorite drummer(s)

My favorite drummer varies all the time. However, for the past few months I've really been into:

Jimmy Chamberlin
&
Jeremiah Green

Two totally different approaches, but I think I'm a combonation of the two's styles. :)
 
OK, a few of my favourites:

Buddy Rich
Jojo Mayer
Steve Smith
Dennis Chambers
Billy Cobham
Peter Erskine
Johnny Rabb
Steve Gadd
Dave Weckl
Virgil Donati
Joe Morello
Jim Chapin

eh, won't continue...the list is just too long

I was there on the 6th actually, I watched a pretty interesting jazz trio, Drummer, guitarist, and a b3 ( which was also covering the bass lines ), unfortunatly I was so tired, and had drinken a little too much Stella artois that I couldn't even analyse what was going on near the end of the set...

ya the jazz fest is pretty cool, cept for the part where i cant get sleepy time untill 3 in the morning.

groovesticks: ive met billy martin, my dad is friends with john medeski!
 
My favorite drummer is Buddy Rich, the greatest musician to sit behind a drumkit. My favorite living drummer is . . . drumroll please . . . Duffy Jackson! The hardest swingin' man on the planet. Duffy swings like a monkey on crack.
