This is a multiple genre thread.... Meaning music lovers from all genres can post their opinions.
Please post who you think is the best drummer and why? Better also state which genre he/she mainly plays.
With Regards...

I'd have to say Tomas Haake of Meshuggah... An avant-garde metal band. I say this because he has the ability to play a simple 4/4 beat with his hands, while playing an immensely technical 23/16 beat with his feet. That takes more coordination and skill than I'll ever have.

Oh man, agreed. Thomas Haake and Vinnie Colauita are my favourite currently.

Joey Baron, an avant-garde jazz drummer, is another favorite of mine.
Zach Hill of Hella/Chrime in Choir etc. He's a math rock/noise rock drummer. His footwork is just awesome and he's tremendously fast as well.

I tried to listen to Hella but was turned off by their newer stuff with the vocals... I like math/noise rock, though. I've got a Lightning Bolt album that I haven't listened to yet and a Don Caballero. Also Tera Melos, thoug they're kind of like a melding of post rock and math rock.
