I've always judged a drummer based on how well they synced with the bassist.  You get that chemistry right and you can put any other two idiots in front and have a decent band.

Moon/Entwistle and Bonzo/JPJ are the gold standards.  Chad Smith/Flea, Grohl/Novoselic, and Nick Mason/Waters have close to that same chemistry.

On their own Neil Pert (SP?  I'm not a Rush fan but someone is rightfully going to mention him....) and Stewart Copeland.

Finally, can we agree that the first person to nominate "that guy from Def Leopard" gets banned for the first month of basketball season?*

I would Mick Fleetwood and John McVie up there with any rhythm section.

Agreed. 

Mick Fleetwood might be the scariest drummer too, after Bonzo.

First thought went to Neil Peart. But Nagini's criterion is much better than mine so I'd have to go Moon in that case.

Ringo is an very underrated drummer, rated 14th just ahead of Buddy Rich by RS
