Drummers anyone must know

You guys are missing a ton of essential drummers. Some of them maybe aren't in bands that play genres your accustomed to, but absolutely deserve a listen from every drummer. I'm not gonna go crazy. I'll limit to it to 10...
Seriously People???? How were some of these guys missed for 3 pages of replies?

Billy Cobham
Jeff Porcaro
Dennis Chambers
Steve Smith
Carl Palmer
Cozy Powell
Stuart Copeland
Ian Paice
Chad Wackerman
Lenny White

Sorry, I haven't gotten to my favorites yet. Here's 10 monsters of the modern era:

Danny Carey - TOOL, Volto, Pigmy Love Circus, Zaum, Green Jelly
Tim Alexander - Primus, Puscifer, Laundry
Vinnie Paul - Pantera, Hellyea, Damageplan
Dave Lombardo - Slayer, Fantomas, Voodoocult
Marco Minnemann - Wierdoz
Tomas Haake - Meshuggah (Stop whatever your doing and check this guy out now!)
Joey Jordinson - Slipknot
Alan White - Yes
Akira Jimbo - "Grasshopper"" (The master of 4-way Independence)
Gavin Harrison - Porcupine Tree

How some of these guys missed this list is beyond me. I'm not a big fan each one's band, necessarily, but they are all fantastic players... Check them out if you aren't familiar with them.
