Seems like there's an anti-chops bias on this forum. Of course a "great" drummer needs good feel and timing and to play what's right for the song. But most drummers that really make the cut into greatness found themselves gigs where it was appropriate to show off their awesome chops (often prog or fusion). Guys that do boring stuff well, when it is exactly what is called for, are doing their job but it doesn't make them great.
IMO
