Louie Bellson of the Count Basie swung harder than anyone. He is the epitome of big band drumming. As for Buddy Rich, he doesn't compliment the song like a jazz drummer should. For smaller ensembles, check out Elvin Jones on John Coltrane's masterpiece A Love Supreme. Paul Motian is a modern drummer who may be of interest. It's definitely an acquired taste though because his drumming has an atmospheric quality to it.

Hi,
 
Borderline jazz ... but his own albums were more jazz oriented than they were rock oriented ... Pierre Moerlin
 
Gong also toured many times with another jazz drummer ... Pip Pyle.
 
Catching the differences are interesting ... on the live albums with Pip, the music is jazz'ier. When it has Pierre with them it has a really powerful rock bottom end ... more like fusion end for my ears.
 
Also, in the early days, I doubt that anyone would say that Robert Wyatt was not too shabby a drummer ... he was very good, specially coloring music that was being somewhat "anti-music".
