Chris Adler. I like how he synchronizes his double bass patterns with the guitar riffs.

Dave Grohl because he was in my favorite band and he is proficient on more instruments and can sing.

Cliff Martinez. The drumming he did in the first two Chili Peppers albums fit PERFECTLY with the music and it was brilliant stuff.

John Bonham.

He's pretty much the father of all hard rock drummers and he could do things with one bass drum that most guys can't do with two.

Josh Freese is a very versatile and talented drummer... and hence my favourite.

A special mention of course goes to Keith Moon.

I like Neil Peart. I've always been a Rush fan, and he's got great technical accuracy and endurance.

Jimmy is amazing.  I'd say him, Dave Grohl, and Joey Castillo are my favorites.

Let's see here...

?uestlove, Steve Jordan, Buddy Rich and John Bonham. Patrick Keeler is pretty cool too. Plus he's from around the same place I am so I figure if he can make a name for himself I can too.

Lars Ulrich. I think he has better skill than any other drummer. Niel Peart would be my second choice.
