I...didn't even know there were that many jazz drummers. If that many drummers put him to shame, I should think he's pretty mediocre.
You asked him for some drummers which are technically superior to Bonham and he named some. I don't see where influence comes into this.

And technically, there are many jazz drummers who are superior to Bonham. But technique isn't half of the story, so that doesn't matter, right? Bonham in general, is far from mediocre. But he's certainly no slouch on the technical front either.
