Why is he great?

Having found the perfect band with which to flex his awesome technical muscles (check out The Mars Volta’s Octahedron – start with Cotopaxi), this child prodigy is finally fulfilling his potential.

No Cozy Powell, Simon Phillips, Zak Starkey(so much better than Papa Ringo-who does deserve to be on this list)? WTF? I am a guitar player but I know a great drummer when I hear one and to have omitted these 3 ( and I am sure I have left off a few faves) is ludicrous. Another joke of a list......

Agreed Matt should be way higher. The drums on Superunknown earn him a top 10 spot.

Tre Cool is better than/more of an innovator than Billy Cobham? i can see the logic. The list may not be complete, but Tony Royster at only 27? Only Todd Suckerman might be better than Tony.
