I love the drumming skills of Shinya of Dir en grey, Eiji of FACT, the drummer from Rin Toshite Shigure (dunno the name), and Naoki of DEATHGAZE.

The drummer from Rin Toshite Shigure's name is Masatoshi Nakano.. definitely have to agree with you on that one as well. He's got amazing skills.

@Kaleidoscope Totally agree about Yoshiki as well.. He still pretty damn amazing for needing to play with a neck brace and having all that wrist pain..

Others I'd add to the list are Sujk (DELUHI), though I see he's already been mentioned a couple times.

Kawauchi Tooru (12012) is another pretty good one and he's improving with every release.

Nero (Merry) is also a favorite.

And one of my top ones is Kenzo (soon to be ex. ayabie). I find his drumming to be pretty f---ing amazing. Always the highlight for me when I listen to ayabie songs, though with their latest few releases, not as much. He's also got an amazing set up for his drums.
