Well, my 2 favorite drummers by far are Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater and Neil Peart of Rush...
Peart is a legend plain and simple for drummers.
You'll have to like progressive rock to tolerate either of them and probably be friendly to heavier music with Dream Theater...I cannot think of any current drummers that can touch what Portnoy does...whether you're a fan of his band's music is another question.
For more laid-back bluesy-rock stuff - check out Gov't Mule...Matt Abts is always solid and knows when to step back...something I find a lot of talented drummers have a hard time with.
