Man, it;s hard to pick one thing. I love speedy double drums (Nile, Strapping Young Lad, Slayer, Dream Theater), but I also love single kicks that allow for better hi-ht control (Porcupine Tree, modern Rush, Bruford). I guess jazz training would be the one thing, as all of my favorite drummers have at least some jazz skill (Peart, Lomabardo, Bruford).

I voted 'snare control,' think jazz trained is by far a too wide 'anatomical feature,' would otherwise vote that.

I give the MINUS 10 vote to electronic percussion, I think I have hated it in every single instance of it that I have heard!!

Just the opposite of all the options: putting it all together.  Just 'cause you syncopate the kick well or can play quick ghost notes on the snare doesn't mean it will sound good.  The best drummers use combinations of these techniques in order to do whatever best fits the piece.

Drummers being creative on this, and have the skills impresses me the most. Danel Denis for example are excellent at this, and he will always remain as one of my favorite drummers!

Smile He's the guy from Deaf Leper, is he? I considered him -- that's why I wrote "preferably two or more of each." I'm sure that, even solely for drumming purposes, he'd prefer to have his other arm back.Ermm
 
It's pretty amazing that he kept going though (and the band kept him on).CoolClap
