Drummers who influenced you?

I have been playing drums since I was a wee lad and was wondering, who influenced you.  Now I don't want to hear any great like Ginger Baker or Neil Peart, but drummers from the late 80's early 90's.  Matt Cameron from Soundgarden had a big influence on me when I was younger and Derek Grant from The Suicide Machines showed me you could be super technical while playing punk.  Also Canadian drummer Great Bob Scott of Look People is fucking amazing...check him out on youtube if you get the chance.

Hell yeah Matt Cameron!

I still can't wrap my mind around Danny Carey's pattern in the middle section of Lateralus.

Ben Gillies from Silverchair influenced me, mainly out of sheer spite, when I was younger.  While he wasn't amazing on Frogstomp, he was pretty damn good for being, what, 15?

There's so many to name. I was never really into searching for the world's greatest drummers, I either stumbled on them or they were in bands I liked and did things that interested me. Some are good, some are bad, but they all had some level of impact on me at one point of my life.
 
The short list of people old and new who have inspired me (forgetting many I'm sure) :
 
Lars Ulrich (Metallica)
Tommy Lee (Motley Crew)
John Bonham (Led Zepplin)
RJ Herrero (Suicidal Tendencies)
Mike Bordin (Faith No More)
Matt Cameron (Soundgarden)
Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters)
Ringo Starr (The Beatles)
Joey Kramer (Aerosmith)
Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix)
Buddy Rich
Neal Peart (RUSH)
Jimmy Chamberlain (The Smashing Pumpkins)
Max Weinberg (Bruce Springstein, Conan O'Brian)
Travis Barker (Blink 182)
Matt Sorum (The Cult, Guns n Roses)
Rick Allen (Def Leppard)
Matt Helders (The Arctic Monkeys)

I don't play drums BUT the drummers that are slowly influencing me to start playing include: 
Neal Peart, John Bonham, Dave Grohl, Mike Portnoy and a few others

The drummer from Spinal Tap.

I used to be poor until I was turned on to the 'Genius of Ayn Rand' by Neil Peart of Rush. Now I realize that greed is the motive force of the world and also appreciate 7/8 time. Thanks, Neil Peart!
 

...Seriously, though, Neil Peart is way cooler than Objectivism

" I still can't wrap my mind around Danny Carey's pattern in the middle section of Lateralus. "

Does Rockband count?
 
I was never much of a set drummer, so I really only know of the greats. Any skills I have have been from drum corps (Go Govies!) and all that other fun band nerd stuff.

Mikkey Dee
Mike Portnoy
Dan Zimmerman

The Rev (Jimmy Sullivan), Joey Jordison, definitely Justin Beiber. Matt Cameron is great, Spoonman is a blast to play. 
 
Mike Portney is pretty awesome too, it's quite funny how I don't listen to this kind of Music as much anymore (it's more deadmau5, Prodigy stuff ATM), John Dolmayan.

The only drummer who has influenced me is John Bonham. The guy has so much fucking groove and everything that he plays just sounds right.

Not so much influence but Lars is pretty good.

I'm not a drummer, but it's interesting that Stewart Copeland (The Police) has not been mentioned, yet.

Buddy Rich and Jojo Mayer
 
 

Buddy Rich 
John Blackwell
Dominic Howard (Muse)
John Otto (Limp Bizkit)

Hmm... First drummers that come to mind is Bobby Jarzombeck, Morgan Aagren and Terry Bozzio. These guys didn't really influence me in the beginning, but these are drummer I've grown very fond of over the years. I can't really remember which drummers I was most "into" when I first picked up the drum sticks though.

Dave Weckl and Tony Royster Jr. ;D

Gary Young because he pointed a gun at Stephen Malkmus (not that I don't like him) and handed out Cinnamon Toast and Cabbage to the audience during concerts.

• Gene Kruppa
• Liberty DeVitto

Dom Howard of Muse
Lars Ulrich of Metallica
John Otto of Limp Bizkit
Buddy Rich
Dave Grohl
Brad Wilk of RATM

Jimmy Sullivan for the most part.

Though I don't play drums, Jon Karel from the Number Twelve Looks Like You comes to mind every time I think of drummers. Very underrated drummer.

Tomas Haake of Meshuggah.

The only one I find memorable is Cristoph Schneider from Rammstein...

Jimmy Chamberlain..the guys a beast  
Also Chad Sexton from 311 is pretty rad.

I'm not a drummer but Gene Hoglan has inspired me.... somehow. 
Gene Hoglan fuck yeah!

Glad someone mentioned Jon Otto. Great drummer. 
Jon Karel 
Danny Carey 
Aaron Gillespie 
Daniel Williams of The Devil Wears Prada 
 
ANDREW FORSMAN OF THE FALL OF TROY.

Dennis Chambers,obviously... 
 
  

What about these metal greats:
 

• Pete "Commando" Sandoval
• Dave Lombardo
• Gene Hoglan
• Jason Bittner
• Brann Dailor  

Chad Smith and Dave Krusen (Pearl Jam's original drummer). John Dolmayan from System of a Down also had a geart influence.
