"Danny Carey (Tool - although he is so robotic and “stiff” sounding he tends to bore me)"
Exactly! He is so technical that he is terribly boring to watch.
Would you say that some of your best drummers you have listed are more so because of showmanship than their technical ability?
If you had to split them into those two categories how would you divide them up?

What I don't have are guys that were rock drummers who are much better now playing jazz. That would have included Steve Smith who I think is the best alive today (watch a solo or two on You Tube tonight I you will see what I mean), Gregg Bissonette who is so different away from his David Lee Roth stint, Kenny Aronoff, Will Calhoun who is again really good with things like brushes but you would never know it listening to "Cult of Personality", Dan Morgenstein where if you watch him now you will see that Winger was just a cash cow, etc.
I'll do a list of metal drummers too since none of them are on this list with the exception of Fish's work with Wicked Wisdom which is just out of the park mind-bendingly good.
