Drums...

OK, so on the topic of good drummers:

Rock drummers: They play one rhythm. And that same rhythm all the time. Not usually too talented (there are exceptions, of course).

Rap drummers: What drummers? Synth drums are the name of the game. No talent at all, because there's no one playing.

Hiphop drummers: See "Rap drummers"

Thrash metal drummers: Only a few beats happening here. HOWEVER, these beats happen extremely fast and extremely consistent. Takes a considerable bit of talent to keep that up for 6+ minutes.

Tool and Dream Theater: Uhhhh... What are they doing exactly?

Rush: Talent? Sure, let's see you play a 360-degree, 52-piece drum kit.

Jazz drummers: These guys...just, wow. Jazz drummers are by far the best in the world. Unique beats in EVERY song; drums are actually played with feeling; the beats are ridiculously intricate. Seriously: go take a listen. King Crimson is a good example.
