also don't forget guys like
Phil Rudd and Bill Ward (the most under rated skin smasher ever.I like him better than Keith Moon-the most over rated ever)

I'm not an expert, but I play one on the internet.

Aside from the ones listed here:

Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater
Keith Moon from The Who
Chad Smith from RHCP, Chickenfoot, etc... but mainly RHCP

Favorite drum solo(s):

Keith Moon on Won't Get Fooled Again and Who Are You. Somewhat simple in theory, but played with such raw power and reckless abandon that few to this day can match it ^^ (perhaps over-rated, but I don't care, he's Keith Moon, he's over-everything )

John Bonham

Ginger Baker

I play drums too (not very good, but good enough to fill in if the drummer wants a break), and my favorite style of drumming is that loose 60's rock sort of groove. I also dabbled in jazz for a while, but I'm way out of practice there. It was a whole lot of fun, though! Hopefully I'll get back to being good enough to play jazz someday soon.
