Hard to go wrong with either of them. I wish I could contribute more to this thread, but I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to judging drummers. I definitely like the Alabama Shakes drummer and according to my drummer friend, he's not the greatest, but I think he fits perfectly with the rest of their music.

IMHO, he´s pretty weak as well. Again, opinions are like assholes. Everybody´s got one.

Hard to beat those two... but I'll add Phil Rudd of AC/DC

Yea I don't think he's some kind of great technical drummer by any means. I just meant his stuff fits with their music. The drummer is obviously not intended to be the focal point of their music.

Maureen, while banging for one of the world´s most influential bands, wasn´t exactly of the caliber of Ringo or Charley. Not by a long shot.
Her legacy did spawn a great song however

Do you mean " Who did the most with a standard kit?"

No, I don´t. The world is well populated with no talent douches who play two mounted toms, four floor toms, and God, good God, two bass (kick) drums, to not mention multiple ancillary or tertiary drums.
Stewart Copeland did fine with one bass, two floor toms, two mounted toms, and his four or five ensemble of North African inspired drummies.
Ringo and Charlie played basic kits, and never swayed with the pass of time to a larger configuration, whether they had or not, makes not a difference, it´s the style of play.
There are many a rube with eight drums, plus the ancillary or tertiary, at their disposal, that people think are great, and frankly, are not.
Noise, or the imperative need to destroy silence, is very disturbing.
Keith Moon was the exception to all previously mehtioned, but this is normal. One must be in constant mental and physical motion, to pull it off.
