Neil Peart gets my vote too, but I think John Dolmayan (sp) from SOAD hits them harder.

Ginger Baker comes to mind. He was one of the first to use gnarly percussion instruments like the tympani in rock and roll. He was pretty darn good at improvising too.

I also dig Mitch Mitchell. His drumming complimented electric and bass guitars quite well.

I know there are Jazz percussionists out there that would have kicked both of their butts, but they are just a couple of my all around fav's.

At this time I would like to tell you that NO MATTER WHAT...IT IS WITH GOD. HE IS GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL. HIS WAY IS IN LOVE, THROUGH WHICH WE ALL ARE. IT IS TRULY -- A LOVE SUPREME --. John Coltrane

Charlie Watts.

Just a fantastic time keeper.

For improvisation, has to be Keef Moon the Loon!

For all of the music I have heard and familiar with, I am going with John Bonham.

Charlie Watts is great as both a Rock and a Jazz Drummer.
I also really enjoy Raul Rekow, the Conga Player from Santana
Terry Bozzio is amazing, listen to some of his work with Jeff Beck

Immature? Of course I'm immature Einstein, I'm 50 and in a Rock and ROll band.
