Upon further review (I just listened to Cherub Rock) I change my vote to Jimmy Fucking Chamberlain. Holy shit.

I think you need to review even further. Go listen to Face Polution, My Wave, Head Down, or Insignificance and report back.
One more time around...

Yes. Effortless/monstrous. No slight on MC, but Jesus Christ listen to the fucking kick drum on Cherub Rock for God's sake.

Jimmy Chamberlain is the correct answer from the list provided, but I wonder ... what genre exactly is Danny Carey in?

I recently found out Matt drummed on Chad Kroger's song with the singers of Saliva and Theory of a Dead Man, so I'm voting for JC now.

If you don't know that garbage song from Spiderman, don't change things by listening, it's really one of the worst songs ever made.

but it's who "was" the best grunge drummer, not who "is". Anything they produced after 96 should be disregarded.

He's not as good as the other dudes but shoutout to Eric Kretz for bringing the thunder and having such a great drum sound.

I was gonna say "fucking monster" but that's overplayed so I went with wildebeest, the genus of antelopes known for their percussion skills.
