Max Kolesne (Krisiun) is one of my favourite and by Far the fastest drummer I know of (and probably the world). His Insane drumming works perfectly with the band's sound. He does get quite technical sometimes.

Here's an example of his speed:



I have no idea how he does the double bass.

I'm shocked to not see Marco Minnemann on this list one of my favorite drummers ever.  Dave McClain of Machine Head is also a beast.  Aquiles Priester is amazing too.  Listen to his stuff from Angra and Hangar.  And of course, Dave Lombardo.  I also think Charlie Benante of Anthrax is a little underrated.  I also love Carsten Nielson of Artillery.  I love his snare, especially from their newer albums like When Death Comes and My Blood.  Mike Mangini is also one of the best to ever play the instrument, in my opinion, of course.  Moe Carlson of Protest The Hero is amazing as well.  I like pretty much any prog metal drummer
