Very tough to choose just three, in no particular order:
Dave Lombardo - I love his side projects along with Mike patton. Dave Lombardo + MikePatton= Sonic Mayhem. Pete Sandoval - Brilliant is the word i've got. Flo Mounier - I would go with Mike Portnoy, but since no one had mention Flo, i just decided to take the name of this machine hand. |

This is hard. I have had difficulty narrowing my list to 15!
If I had to pick 3 though, they would be Thomas Haake (Meshuggah) Chris Adler (Lamb of God) Martin Lopez (Opeth- formerly ) For metal Of all time? Ugh, I could never answer, but Buddy Rich is in there |

It is shoking that not one has mentioned the hardest hitting drummer yet.
the answer is Dave Grohl he bang hes kitt like a maniak and are 100% acurate all the time in over one hour he don't miss one stroke or fill or anything and grooves like h***ell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4gSjh6xmm4
Matt Cameron is not a p*****'sy on the kit eather just watch hes preformance with Soundgarden at Lolapaloosa, Rusty Cage and Jesus Christ Pose http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRHfiB8vKuw
and as Toto fan you can't just forgett to mention their two drummers Simon Phillips and Jeff Porcaro (RIP) and both were hard hitter (and subtle hitters) one of the greats on the kit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvpEFwnfgdY

Coming from PA, my 3 favorite drummers are probably Neil Peart, Bill Bruford, and Carl Palmer. I'm not quite sure how these apply to the OP's post of "solid, not flashy, just down-right hard hitting drummers". I would think that Palmer might still fall under this category, but I think that Peart and Bruford are more technically sound versus being hard hitting drummers. Alan White might also qualify as a hard hitting drummer, but I think that I will try and stick with 3 metal drummers. Again I am not sure how well they qualify but I've always enjoyed Alex Van Halen, Tommy Lee, and Ian Paice, so I think that these will be my answer.

^ Forgot about Brann Dailor. He's really a BIG part of what makes Mastodon enjoyable IMO.

1. Brann Dailor (Of Mastodon- King of fills, and overall probably one of the best drummers in modern metal)
2. Sean Reinert (already spoken about) 3. Aaron Harris (Isis- A tom monster, he hita the drums hard as hell)

I saw Suffocation a couple of years ago and I have exactly the same impression. One of the greatest death metal drummers out there.

Neil Peart ( because of his innovating experimentation and monster technique.)
Mike Portnoy (like J Man said) Gavin Harrison (his drumming is very fun to watch and he has an absolutely unique style) These are my three main influences ( Yup, I play drums.)

F**king brilliant One of my favourites from them. Another guy who deserves all the respect in the world is their guitarist who pulls off all the multilayered guitarparts live by looping as he plays.

I can't stick to three drummers only, so this list contains more (and it's not in any specific order):
Nicko McBrain (like a machine) Mike Portnoy ("what J-Man said") Mark Zonder (another technical monster, yet solid as a rock) Sean Reinert (his dynamic drumming in Cynic never seizes to amaze me - it's flashy without losing its solidity) Vinnie Paul (I really like his bass drum work in Pantera) Per M. Jensen (his performance on "Weave the Apocalypse" and "Dying to Live" is amazing; sure, it was technical and flashy but never at the cost of rhythm) Phil Rudd (doesn't get more solid than that) Simon Wright (just as solid, and his work with Dio also offered some variation in his playing) Cozy Powell (I really like his solid performance on the three Rainbow albums he appeared on) Vinny Appice (I really like his heavy drumming on "Dehumanizer" and "The Devil You Know") Carsten Nielsen (no fuss, no flash, just straight ahead old school punk-thrash drumming) Vivi Di Bap (now a folk musician, and former drummer of the alt. metal band Impotators; I've had the pleasure of watching her perform live with Impotators, and, I can tell you, she rocks!) |

Impressive drummer. I saw him recently during the Suffocation gig in Paris. One of the best drumming I ever had the opportunity to witness. |

Good call. Although I always thought Prog drumming as a mixture of whatever genres a drummer can find? The thing that's always impressed me about Lopez is the same as Danny Carey: not what he CAN do, but what he choses NOT to do. He plays for the music, not himself, and only does fills when they sound good in the music. Respect all round for the guy |
