Mmmmm. Man, I love the fact you put Neil Peart in there. One of best ever. For the sake of thrash metal, I gotta add Dave Lombardo to that list.

…and holy crap how did I forget Buddy Rich?!

John Bonham, Nicko Mcbrain, Bill Ward, Phil Rudd, and Rick Allen for the simple fact he relearned to drum with one arm. Mad respect.

No. She was cool and hot in her time, but no bro. She was a singular player, restricted to one style. Not great at all.

Fair enough, but I guarantee you she was not restricted to one style based on choice… The industry is what it is, especially toward females.
