The original post wasn't about being a good drummer - it was about having recognisable style. Same with Barker - very good, but replaceable.
Moon wasn't a good drummer in the technical sense - his timing was appalling, watch any live DVD.....however he had panache and style that made him awesome. THATs what matters. Its like Nigel Kennedy - he isn't a particularly technical virtuoso but he is an expressive artist. Emotive response is what we want and people like Moon deliver(ed) that.
As for recognising style. My brother - every record i hear with him on is so obviously him! From Spiritualized to Nic Armstrong and the Thieves - he's got that 60's vintage backbeat thing down to a fine art !!
