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.

I just meant that in drawing influence from mainstream rock drummers like Bonzo and Moon that is was very likely that they developed similar techniques. I suppose there are those who may be technically superior to Bonham. I shouldn't have uttered that misstatement. But I heartily believe he is the best overall drummer. His energy and intensity were simply incredible, and I don't believe anyone - including jazz drummers, yes - could rival his presence onstage.
That is, er, what I meant to say.
