My knowledge of drummers isn't great
but i've nominated Phil Collins for this.
The fact that he's a drummer who is also the lead singer is remarkable enough, but he's put down some beats that are legend.
In The Air Tonight. Who can fail to air drum on that song
Also, he has the unique distinction of being the only person to play at both Live Aid concerts, playing in the UK and then flying immediatly to the US and straight on stage.
