Those on top of my head now, not in that specific order necessarily.

Jack Dejohnette
Roy Haynes
Dave Weckl
Vinnie Colaiuta
Virgil Donati
Paul Motian
Phil Collins
Steve Gadd
Airto Moreira (Return to forever)
Andy Ward (Camel)
Jimmy Chamberlin (Smashing Pumpkins)
 
Dave Grohl.

I remember watching Nirvana play on MTV before I was interested in the drums and thinking he looked cool as hell. Now as a drummer, his drumming on the Queens of the Stone Age record Songs for the Deaf is the epitome of rock drumming, and his work is Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Them Crooked Vultures, etc, speaks for itself.
I was actually the most impressed with his playing on the Tenacious D stuff.
 
All of them. Bonham, Brewer, Bruford, Cobham, Collins, Colaiuta, Elivn, Paice, Porcaro, Purdie, Ringo, etc. It doesn't matter, they're all my favourites.

If I had to pick one? Andy Newmark.
 
ok I've been getting a lot of responses and would like to add that you can put as many as you like just tell me out of those what would be your favorite
