it's the fills. they're always on point.
frankly it took me a long time to hear it.
but they say (who?) that the measure of a great drummer is the extent to which they drive the sound of a band but disappear into it.
btw the comparisons to moon are misplaced--moon was more a jazz drummer in the elvin jones mode, really. believe it or not. very tonal and precise. and loud. and there'd be no who without him (listen to how they are now.) a very different style.
