Carey is a fantastic drummer. But there are plenty of drummers who are as talented as he is. Especially in the metal genre, where today's drummers have absolutely incredible double bass drum speed. If you want examples, for speed try Fear Factory. For odd time signatures, try Meshuggah. As good as Carey is, those guys are insane.

Keith Moon was tremendously overrated. He was a great character and he was wild on the drums, but he wasn't particularly innovative or fast.

And for those who say Peart, he was a great drummer in his times. But today's young drummers can do things that Peart could never dream of doing (not that they're as innovative or influential as Peart was).
