VERY good selection - actually the three I would select.

One fine effort by Bozzio:

The track "Only Thing She Needs" is extremely good - my favorite headbanging tune of all time.

Bruford: I especially like the albums he has made under his own name.

I'd also like to mention the drummers on Steely Dan's albums. They may not be as "flashy" as some of the above-mentioned but they do the job very nicely indeed.

Billy Cobham
Omar Hakim

:)

system of a downs drummer is very good

Bill Stevenson gets the job done.

Matt Sorum

Yep. I used to listen to ALL that stuff. Worked on a record with Walter Becker in his studio in Maui :) One of the highlights of my drumming career.
That stuff also brings to mind the music of:
Brand X
Allan Holdsworth
John McLaughlin
and I FORGOT drummers:

Chad Whackerman

Michael Walden!!! For some of you younger drummers....go back and check out some of his shit...WTF!

the first song on this record (they dont have a long enough sample for you to hear when the drums come in) one of my favorite performances by a drummer EVER. MICHAEL WALDEN ...dude....look out.
