just my two cents
bonzo was absolutely amazing. too bad he had to self destruct, like so many others.
elvin jones - i was able to see him a couple of times in boston a few years back, and he was amazing. completely gone from the heroin use, but he could still do it behind the kit. i cant really think of a more talented/visionary combo than jones and coltrane.
ringo is the luckiest man on the face of the earth. every other member of the beatles was extremely talented, but ringo was clearly the fourth best musician there. not sure of the truth to the rumors, but supposedly there are studio tapes of mccartney getting fed up with ringo's inability to keep time, and ending up playing the drums himself on a few tracks.
