Cheers Trav, been thinking about you this week, and hoping that the 'admin' part of your recent situation, has not been too taxing.
Reason I mentioned Peart, and I'll be completely honest here, I don't think I've ever heard or clicked on a Rush track in my life, yet life's algorithm throws up the fact that I should do - "You like them, you'll undoubtedly like him..."
Two obvious drummers I rate are Neil Conti from Prefab Sprout and Steve White who played with Weller. Though the best for me is Tony Thompson of Chic, let alone the jazz beacons I'm meandering through at the moment.
Bernard Purdie has worked with one of my favourite bands, Steely Dan, as well you know. If you've got Sky, then it's worth searching through the Classic Albums to find the Aja one. Bernard does the Purdie shuffle, explaining the reasoning, preceded by a list of everybody he's drummed for.
For those who don't have Sky, check this out. Love Donald regaling the story about the signs Bernard would put up alongside his drum kit when he was auditioning for work:
