You might find Hendrix to sound sloppy and slow, but you're comparing him to guitarists that play a completely different style than him. What Hendrix played was flat-out blues, and he had the blues style down as well if not better than any guitarist ever. If he ever really wanted to play any of the stuff that Vai et. al. played, he could, without a doubt. He just never did, because that wasn't the style of music that he played.
Beside that, YOU may personally think that the actual drumming skill factor is overrated, but when, as in this case, we're looking at drummers based on their skill, Bonham simply IS NOT at the top of the pack. No matter what kind of education you have in music, it is a plain and simple fact that Bonham simply did not have the skill of so many other drummers out there, and as far as skill is concerned, does not deserve mention as one of the best of all time.
