Obviously this has been done before, but fuck it - let's do it again.
Alan White Chris Sharrock Zack Starkey Tony McCarroll
Obviously Whitey is first. And Sharrock seemed to be the closest to his style. And I liked Starkey's credentials, but didn't care for his style.
I'm more than fine with Sharrock continuing as Oasis drummer for the reunion, as I really like and rate him.

Zak Starkey Alan White Chris Sharrock Tony McCarroll
I would've rated Sharrock higher, but the problem was that they never went into the studio with him (as Oasis, anyways), unlike the other three.
McCarroll struck me as being incredibly simple, but still not bad. One big thing is that he's responsible for those driving drums on Supersonic, Live Forever, and Listen Up; three bonafide classics.
Whitey always seemed to base his drumming around a certain pattern during the album cycles. Like on MG how it's kind of hip-hop-like, and how on SOTSOG, it's a little more jazzy. Nevertheless, it developed quite an iconic pop rock sound for the band that would help make them great. I think his best playing came on Don't Look Back in Anger, Gas Panic!, and Roll it Over.
Starkey would be best, to me, by an incredibly slim margin, for how diverse & talented he is, and what he brought to the band. I think he was important in helping the band go towards a different sound that was developed in the later years to keep the band rather fresh, which was huge, considering how HC sounded. His best playing came on Part of the Queue, The Shock of the Lightning, and The Turning.
(Shout out to Steve White for his brief time performing with Oasis on the Tour of Brotherly Love!)

Alan Chris Tony Zak
Alan was for me the best, and did some cool drumming on songs like Wonderwall and DLBIA. Chris was great live, but I haven't really paid attention to his drumming on Beady Eye records. Tony was very simple, but sometimes alright (Whatever). Zak drummed very heavy which made it a bit ploddy at times. Not a bad drummer by any means, very talented (well, if you're Ringo's son..) I just prefer the other three.

The best drummer is Zak Starkey, but not good for Oasis

'90s White (he got lazier after BHN) Sharrock (his drumming was probably the best feature of their last tour) McCarroll (he deserves some appreciation. Drumming on BIOD is awesome!) Starkey (I don't think he was a poor drummer, but he didn't add anything to the performances...)

Sharrock Whitey McCarroll Starkey - I think he's a good drummer but did not fit Oasis. Murdered Bring it on Down on the Don't Believe The Truth tour.

Tony!! Alan Zach Chris Tony will always be #1 in my heart. I just love the idea that someone totally incapable of playing the drums became world famous for it. It's clear he would just bang those things and not give a crap hahaha.

I never liked White. I think he could be a good drummer if he didn't join a rock band. His drumming is just too soft. Chris is my favourite. As some said, Zack is very good but his style just didn't fit Oasis. Tony is horrible

Chris Alan Zak Tony
Personally I like Chris' style the best. I thought he could do whatever was needed, had enough punch in his drumming and was a bit of a showman on stage. It's really hard to find something negative to say about him!
White was brilliant on record but watching the gigs it seems that he got stuck on repeat... It seems like he only had one great, really recognisable way of playing but he never tried anything else.
I really liked Starkey's work on DOYS and DBTT, he was really solid. But then again onstage he didn't impress me for the reasons we all know.
Tony's at the bottom of the list not because he was bad but because he wasn't as good as the others.
Terry Kirkbride would be either above or below Starkey as he did very good job on the Stop the Clocks tour but I don't really have much to say about his drumming on the studio tracks. Steve White goes number two on the list, brilliant drumming and great sounding set.

While I do feel like the late drummers were probably nerfed by the band having to slow the pace down significantly to suit Liam's vocals, Alan was by far the best drummer.

I love Whitey and Sharrock equally. The other two not so, though I think Tony played his heart out, Zack was a bit half-arsed.
