Hi everyone! I’ve just changed the topic from “Who is your favourite drummer?” to “Who are your favourite drummers?”. 
This might make things a little easier…
Here’s my first recommendation. Dave Weckl’s drum work on “Multiplicity” is definitely worth checking out (if you’re open to fusion/jazz rock)…

What makes a great drummer? The ability to listen carefully to what is going on around him or her. A strong, well-honed sense of time and meter as well as the ability to manipulate the space between the notes to make time patterns groove. A deep and wide technical vocabulary of grooves/rhythms and fills supported by a finely-tuned musical sense of when to apply them.
