Travis Barker
It's difficult to compare drummers from different genres because everyone's bound to have a favourite based on whatever they're into. Implying metal drummers are inferior to jazz is unfair, different skill set doesn't make them less skilled.
Surprised nobody's mentioned Ginger Baker yet.
I like Grohl, Bonham, Shannon Sahm and Greg Gall but Levon Helm would get my vote for being so multi-talented. I'd have to give an honourable mention to Victor 'Moulty' Moulton for sheer determination though!
