Technically, drummers don't make the sounds themselves. The drum shapes and configurations do, and the playing adds nuances to complement that. What if a guy built an electronic drum set, synthesized every sound himself, and played it expertly?
I guess if that met your criteria for artistic expression, then the only thing you'd have left for what makes a band good is whether you liked the style of music... which I think is too obvious a point in a thread that begs the participant to attempt quantifying what they think makes a band effective as good musicians producing good music. If the only qualifying factor of a good band is whether we like the music, then this thread really doesn't need to be very complex.
