See, I think the problem here is in comparing any two drummers. There are so many different styles. I like Charlie Watts, Ringo Starr, Keith Moon, Omar Hakim, Stewart Copeland and John Bonham, but all for different reasons.
On thing all of the guys above have in common, they all play in the pocket. It's hard to describe unless you're playing, but I'll try. Instead of playing a little in front of the band or a little behind them, you're completely locked in. It's almost as if the entire band was being played by one person. I've never heard a track where Bonham wasn't completely in the pocket.
