I saw Buddy Rich play when I was in high school so he gets my vote.

Buddy Rich is #1 for his combo of influence and technical proficiency. I don't think it is a contest.

Now lets get into the weeds a bit here but using "influence / ability / notoriety" as a meter here I'll go down the list (my opinion of course)

-Buddy Rich
-Danny Carey
-Bonham
-Moon
-Tony Royster Junior
-Neal Peart
-Mike Portnoy
-Carter Beauford
-Josh Freese
-Ray Luger
-Alex Van Halen
-Josh Freese

Danny Carey


It took a few pages ITT for him to be mentioned but the sheer complexity of the Tool poly rhythms puts him in the discussion.

What that man can do is nothing short of amazing. All on a fairly simple kit considering what he gets out of it.

Guys like Buddy, Gene Krupa and DJ Fontana started it all Ginger Baker and Mitch Mitchell took that and shot it to the stratosphere, I think they’re the cream of the crop, Bonzo’s probably the grooviest drummer lays down a sick arse beat
