1 is OK (but the "such" is not needed; maybe the first "own" also).
2 is unintelligible.
Yes.
Yes what?
Tom had his list of the best drummers, and I had mine.
maybe this example ( ... his own list of the best drummers ...)
highlights the futility of asking this type of question
(more than the other examples do)
because...... in a real situation, a Sentence would be
more concrete... and mention The Rolling Stones GOAT list,
Ringo Star, etc.
his own list of the best drummers
