Besides Buddy Rich of course. I left him out because I didn't want the votes to be 100 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0.
Keith Moon - Very energetic (and destructive) style. He wasn't a fan of drum solos, he just went along with the other music very well. Most notable songs were [i]Won't Get Fooled Again[/i] and [i]Bargain.[/i]
Bill Ward - The first drummer to play heavy metal. Notable songs are [i]Iron Man[/i] and [i]War Pigs.[/i]
Ginger Baker - Known as the first superstar of the drums in rock music. The OG. He had a very unique sound. Notable songs are [i]Toad[/i] and [i]White Room.[/i]
John Bonham - He had it all; speed, power, and the right "feel." Notable songs are [i]Good Times Bad Times[/i] ( yes thats only one bass pedal), [i]How Many More Times[/i], and [i]Moby Dick[/i]
Mitch Mitchell - Often underlooked because most people were focused on Hendrix himself. He had somewhat of a jazz fusion style to him. Notable songs are [i]Voodoo Chile[/i] and [i]Hear My Train A Comin[/i]. Here's some links because theyre kind of hard to find:

https://vimeo.com/47657590 (fast forward to 14:09, or listen to the whole thing its a great album)
Neil Peart - Everybody knows about this guy. I don't need to explain him. Notable songs are [i]Xanadu[/i] and [i]2112[/i] (or pretty much any Rush song for the matter).
Mickey Hart - He was one of two drummers in Grateful Dead. Him and Bill Kreutzman. They had a really unique thing going on, think of a lead and rhythm guitar but for drums, Mickey being the lead. They've played so many live shows and theyre so different every time its hard to list some notable songs. I guess [i]Terrapin Station[/i] is a good example.
My vote goes to Mitchell.
Edit: Mitch only 2%? Sigh...
