For shear greatness the first one that comes to mind is
Carl Palmer of Emerson, Lake and Palmer.
I remember sitting in the Chicago Stadium, on concert night, waiting for the show to start when an obviously tortured soul screemed "Palmer!!!!".
I speculated this was another drummer who could not duplicate C.P.'s licks.
Other Giants:
John Bonham and Ginger Baker.
