They are definitely the standard as Jazz drumming is 1000% harder than rock and its not even a comparison.

I used to have this Dave Weckl video where he explained his beat displacement technique and it blew my mind. I was never able to do it. He basically plays sheet music forwards and then backwards like a human tape machine.

John Bonham if we’re talking rock, easily. And I’m not even a huge Zeppelin fan.

The best modern rock drummer going right now is Dave Lombardo, who's in like five bands at a time.
I love this clip. Look how baffled the rest of the band is to be playing with a real drummer.

Are we talking best at what they do, or most versatile? It's hard to argue with the versatility of all the old session and prog guys like Steve Smith, Vinnie Colaiuta, Portnoy, Steve Gadd, etc. I personally rate guys like Zac Hill and Damon Che, but theyre not for everyone and they aren't really known for positive drummer qualities like restraint or broad versatility. The most impressive drummers I've ever seen live were Jojo Mayer who is a fucking monster but I've never really enjoyed anything his band ever released and Brian Chippendale from Lightning Bolt who was an absolute force of nature even though a lot of things that made him so awesome are generally negatives to other drummers. He has no dynamics, hes constantly overplaying, never seems to play things quite the same way twice and the tempo drifts all over the place but their shows are such a spectacle its hard to not be blown away in some way. The wrong person would leave a gig like that feeling like they had just been raped.

Richard Christy, that hillbilly retard from the Stern show, is actually a really talented drummer that was in a metal band called Death. They were actually pretty big before the singer got cancer and died.
