I'd have to say Lance Garvin of Living Sacrifice and Soul Embraced. I just love his live shows. He looks so calm and easy going blasting back and forth between tribal percussion and thrash beats.
Honorable mention albums:
Carter Beauford -- Live at Red Rocks
Travis Barker -- Fury of the Aquabats
Tony Williams -- Believe it
Neil Peart -- All the World's a Stage
Ted Kirkpatrick -- Psycho Surgery
In my Walter Mitty beginnings as a drummer, I dreamt I could play those albums note for note....
I thought it interesting how varied the number of responses on this website were. It must be required of Modern Drummer interviewees that Ringo Starr, Peter Criss, and John Bonham are on their references list or they don't get the interview. Thank you for being individual, drummer cafe!

ive been thinking about this since the string started and i think ive come up with it. none. i cant see that i have any one influence that is greater than any other. even the smallest hint of influence is vital to me as a musician. hell, a good chunk of my influences arent even music based. i had a rough list, but i decided not to bore you with it  |

Among the genre/genres I play in, perhaps the late Cozy Powell was the most influential.

I've also thought a lot about this thread as well and tend to go along w/ Mark. But totally opposite. Every drummer I've heard in my life has influenced me in one way or another. From the technically proficient to the groove masters, the rockers and the swingers, subtle ghost note players to outright bashing, I have learned something from every drummer I've listened to, including what NOT to do. I may not like them, but I sure can appreciate what they do.
Also, my college percussion professor, John Papastefan probably influenced me more then any other person. He opened my eyes to a whole world of percussion and drums I never knew exisited.

The techniques, though they play an important role in the early stage, should not be too restrictive, complex or mechanical. If we cling to them, we will become bound by their limitation. Any technique, however worthy and desirable, becomes a disease when the mind is obsessed with it.

Cozy played so awesome in that live Rainbow recording...what was it called? Anyways Dio was singing on it and it had such great tunes as "Mistreated", "16th Century Greensleeves" and "STill I'm Sad"...what ripping jams.

I think it was originally Tico Torres of Bon Jovi who originally inspired me.

Hey N00b here  When I was 10, I went to a concert at my local high school to see one of the bands play. This guy did a 15 minute solo that absolutely blew my mind! He must have been about 20, but he was sooooo amazing even today I can remember the solo in my head. Anyway, after the concert I went and talked to him and he had such a passion for the drums. (He's my influence in case you couldn't figure it out  ) |

I think i'm just influenced by what any drummer can do, especially if it is something new to me, or just sounds great. Sometimes it can be just a feel of a groove which makes me take notice and get off my ass and try something different. I don't think it has to be any particular drummer, just anyone playing what they enjoy.
So i guess i mean every drummer i've ever heard.

The late Carlos Vega (James Taylor drummer) - you learn so much more when you listen to how and when the drummer is NOT playing .... Carlos was the master at knowing and feeling when not to play ... but when he did, and when the song allowed him to open wide... he sang.

Most memorable (and influential to me) recordings with Cozy Powell where his ones with Ygnzie Malmsteen.
