It would take an expert drummer just to set up the gear he used. As far as rock drummers I put him at the top of the list. One of my biggest regrets in life is that I never saw Rush live.
But I'll throw out Bill Bruford and Omar Hakim. Both are accomplihed jazz musicians who have deep roots in rock and popular music. Bruford played for Yes, Genesis, and King Crimson. Hakim has played for a long eclectic list of big names including Sting, Miles Davis, Dire Straits, David Bowie, Journey, Michael Jackson, and Daft Punk.
As for straight jazz drummers I go with Jack DeJohnette
