Have we had Best Drummer yet?
Discussion
Taking of people who've played with Sting, i've always rated Abe Laboriel.

Gilson Lavis (Squeeze & Jools Holland's R&B Orchestra) never fails to impress me:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtbQdFhp76I

Vinnie Collaiuta (sp), both for his Zappa and Sting years. Terry Bozzio for some of Zappas best bits. Saw Peart in Toronto couple of weeks back, easily the best at the moment imho. Copeland in Cardiff last week wasn't up to his former best, though he had a huge influence on me when learning. Billy Cobham was excellent recently in Swansea. Has anyone mentioned Dave Weckl? Phil Collins Genesis years were superb. Bonham gets my best ever vote, right foot and all that.
Can't believe no one has mentioned Dave Abruzzese
Ex Pearl Jam (they went a bit pants after he got the boot) and the reason I started playing the drums. Here's a tribute to him off Youtube

Best drummer's a no brainer - Jimmy Chamberlain from the Smashing Pumpkins. I think he's won every poll I've ever seen and he's utterly awesome on the drums. Yes, he's technically good, but he also really knows how to write decent drum parts for songs that add to the songs tremendously.
