I agree - Polly. I´m adding Roger Taylor / Queen.
I find that the many drummers who are not lauded from the rooftops are talented but have a fairly generic sound and/or approach - not much there that's really obviously identifiable.
You can usually pick Steve Gadd, Ringo, Billy Cobham, Bonzo, Moonie or Bill Bruford immediately - less likely to pick, say, Ritchie Hayward, Will Calhoun, Fran Breen, Ralph Humphrey, Harvey Mason or Michael Shrieve even though they are great players. They also have their idiosyncrasies that no doubt some of you can pick, but they are less obvious.
Having a conventional sound and style is no crime, of course, since the aim of the game is to work with your group's sound and often a fairly standard approach is what works best.
