Drum solos aren't the mark of a good player, IMHO. Drum solos prove what you can do on your own, away from the group, not what you do with the group.

Bonham is amazing because of what he brought to Led Zepplin. He was completely in the pocket on so many songs, it's not even funny. Listen to Stairway, Tangerine, In The Evening, Fool In the Rain, just for examples of what I mean.

I'll take one solid, in the pocket drummer over 100 soloing, triplets-all-over the place drummers any day of the week.
