Interesting to hear Jack DeJohnette referred to as a 'spare' sounding drummer; but then I guess he can do just about any style you care to name.

Another I could name is Pete Erskine, someone who combines simplicity and subtlety in equal measure. Listen to any of the trio albums with John Abercrombie and Marc Johnson to see just how much of a sense of 'power held in reserve' he conveys at the kit.
