a small list of who i can remember while drinking coffee, in no order, and quite sure that there are other dummers out there i either cannot remember and/or have not heard yet who should be here:

elvin jones
eddie blackwell
andrew cyrille
don moye
jerome cooper
max roach
rashied ali
sunny murray
william hooker (check out his duet release with thurston moore)

chris cutler

and tony allen, who was the drumming (and musical) backbone for most early fela anikulapo kuti tracks--through the early 1980s---and is just a monster....
