Sandy Nelson. He had a flashy style and propulsive rhythms which helped elevate the importance of percussion instruments in early rock and roll.
One of his earliest:

There isn't only one, to me.
John Bonham was mentioned already.
Plus:
Nick Mason
Ian Paice
Phil Collins (to me it counts as rock)

Glenn kotche, Wilco. No doubt he was influenced by previous drummers in rock groups from the 70s and 80s, but he has an ability to not only play hard but stay in the background and mix with such a wild array of instruments that the other band members utilize.

Cozy Powell. Also, since he probably won't get any votes I want to give an honorable mention to Mick Tucker of Sweet.

I honestly never followed drummers. Guitars were always my thing. Nothing against drummers tho, it takes slot of skill.
