I've always been partial to Buddy Rich. I like Stewart Copeland a lot, too. David Grohl brought some really interesting arrangements to music, Foo Fighters being my favorite rock band. Grant from Alkaline Trio is a lesser known but very gifted drummer.
Even though I'm a drummer, it has always been tough for me to compare here. This may be unpopular, but I feel like the good drummers in any given style have a flatter curve than guitarists. By this I mean most of them are relatively close in speed, abilities and musical choices. One evidence of this is that a drummer is most capable of "sitting in" on an album. I can learn 10 songs in the time it takes my guitar player to learn one. He is much better at guitar than I am at drums (10 years for me, 25 for him).
Sorry to bash my own instrument! But since drums don't get as many effects as guitars, a lot of the "style" we recognize on a classic album is just the result of the studio approach and could have been any drummer. Many of the great drummers these days have studio players record the albums they write.
To that I add: Dave Makintosh of DRAGON FORCE!!!!
