Too many good drummers to limit to one choice:

Elvin Jones
Al Jackson
Mitch Mitchell
Dave Lombardo
Charlie Watts
Dale Crover
Billy Cobham
Hal Blaine
Dave Grohl
Max Roach
 
hmmm, best drummer according to me has to be Mikkey Dee (ex king diamond/current Motorhead drummer) he is very underrated, check out his solo for the song Sacrifice live on you tube you will know what am talking about, the man is a beast. Another one would be Bill ward the drummer in the original black Sabbath line-up, kick ass !!
 
Roger Taylor of Duran Duran was one hell of a drummer. He gets overlooked because he came from a different genre than most great drummers.
 
I can't believe that no one has mentioned.......GINGER BAKER.
Superb drummer with the legendary CREAM.

Keith Moon was brilliant to.

One of my personal favourites is Levon Helm.
 
I'll give some more...

Keith Moon
Jon Bonham
I hate to do this, but I don't know their names...

The drummer from Live, Tool, and Slip Knot.
 
Hal Blaine is one of the greatest unknown drummers ever. LA pop music (circa 1960-70) would have never existed w/o Hal's drumming and micing ideas. He is heard on so many hits it is ridiculous-his timing is impeccable. A real drum machine.
 
Neil Peart is my personal fave, John Bonham & Keith Moon were also great. Carl Palmer from Emerson, Lake & Palmer is another great drummer:glugglug:
