Peart. Technique, speed, precision. I can't think of anyone who can top that.
Moon and Bonham. Both lots of energy and power.
When discussing Peart, many bring up YYZ, but my favorite drum track by him is 2112. He has one section that sounds faster than a machine gun, it's just insane. This makes me wnat to que up Winamp and load 2112 intro, Four Sticks, and Won't get Fooled Again.
Finally, I'd like to mention a couple of bands on the opposite ends fo the spectrum - Nine Inch Nails and the Allman Brothers. Using two drummers at many times was a stroke of genius. I'm sure that other bands have done this on occasion, but they are the most visible to me. When you get a song where two percussionists are in sync and on their game, the precision sound is as sweet and delicate as any other.
