Best rock drummer ever

[Phrenicz]

I gotta go with in order:

Matt Cameron (Soundgarden & Pearl Jam) 

Jimmy Chamberlin (Smashing Pumpkins) 

Dave Grohl (Nirvana & Queens of the Stone Age) I'd have included foo fighters in his bands but they suck balls! 

John Bonham

I like Neil P and Rush a lot, 2112 being my favorite album, but I think they are a bit too technical at times.  I agree with @newdaze in that I like a more free flowing, less technical style of music.  I have seen Rush a number of times and while they are amazing the show is the same in every city.  I can go see my 2nd favorite band Widespread Panic three nights in a row and not hear the same song twice.  Hell their two drummer/percussionists are amazing as well...Sonny Ortiz and Duane Trucks will blow you away. 

I almost went to see Primus in the Atl last year but I was hoping to hear a lot of stuff off Frizzle Fry which is my favorite Primus album.  Their drums combined with Les Claypool playing the bass like a lead guitar makes for an amazing sound.

Hell I think Nick Mason from Pink Floyd is totally underrated....smoke a tater and watch the video Live at Pompeii and you will see why.....

I guess it depends on mood....
