Tough call between Phil and Dave...went for Phil, and was surprised to see that a plurality agree with me.

Buddy Rich #2 (Check out 3mins 11sec, it makes your eyes water)

YouTube - drum solo by buddy rich (1970)

I'll give a mention to two not yet featured, Levon Helm and Mo Tucker.

Helm's percussion skills have a huge influence on all musical projects he is involved with, he adds a real vibe to proceedings.

Mo Tucker's style of percussion pretty much defines the sound of the early Velvet Underground, which in turn is reported to have influenced a huge number of other bands.
