Got to see Danny Carey play last night, and the guy is simply amazing. As with any other great drummer, you can't truly appreciate his talent until you see him play live.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.....Peart schmeart.
Jimmy Chamberlain & Stephen Perkins are by far the most under-appreciated.
You try to throw your jazz knowledge in and you forget...

I think live drumming makes a bigger impression, so it's hard to say when I've only seen a relative handful live.
Also, everyone's music demands different styles. So there can't be a "best" drummer.
That said, I think Bonzo laid down the baddest groove. I prefer guys who know when not to play as much as when to play, and Bonham was so great (and I'm not a huge LZ fan). Moon impresses in this way, as does Phil Collins when he's trying to lay out a groove (and not ride Cyndi Lauper's coattails!). Copeland is fantastic, too.
Technique/speed: Buddy Rich's machine gun rolls still give me goose bumps. Danny Carey (just started listening to TooL when they toured with Crimson) is impressive, too. Peart is obviously technically skilled beyond belief. Oh, Simon Phillips was always impressive.
Last personal fave is Bill Bruford for, well, just because I like a LOT of things he's played.

Here's some incredible drummers no one has mentioned....
Gene Hoglan - Death (check out Individual Thought Patterns), Strapping Young Lad, Dark Angel + a ton of studio projects...
Nick Barker - Dimmu Borgir (listen to Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia to see what he's capable of), Cradle Of Filth, Lock Up
Ken Schalk - Candiria - He cand pretty much do it all, and do it well. The first time I saw the band practicing, we used to use the same studio, I was totally blown away by his skills. He can go from blast beats to jazz without a hiccup. The only thing that I don't particularly like is some of the rap stuff they go into.

This thread called for the best drummer and achieved many and varied responses.
However, negativity is starting to set in so, before it becomes overwhelming, I am going to close it.
PS: no-one mentioned Bill Ward, who I believe those in the know say is in the Bonham mode.
