    Howdy mate, welcome to the forum.
    Ha yeap, pretty common thread. %99 of answers is 'opinion', and IMO thats exactly correct.
    If i had to choose though id pick Derek Roddy. There are thousands of good ones though.
    Sonor - Pearl - Tama - Mapex - Paiste - Sabian - Roc N Soc - Pro Mark - Gibralter - Evans - Dixon - Mapex

    Welcome! This question has been asked quite a bit but I never get tired of seeing everyone's favorite drummers. My favorites at the moment are Steve Jordan, Stanton Moore, Stever Ferrone and this dude I just found on you tube that I think is pretty awesome his name is David Calum Macmillan (dotDaibhidh).

    I think xweasel pretty much covered it all.. haha.

    Bonham and Carey are my top two. Then, it's a big mix of a bunch of jazzers and rockers.
