Ginger Baker and Charlie Watts were great JAZZ drummers, not great rock drummers. Ringo Starr, aka “The Man Who Saved Rock and Roll” was the FIRST Rock and Roll Drummer. Before Starr, there were jazz drummers, R & B drummers and Pop drummers.
The common trait between Baker, Watts and Starr was their incredible time keeping. They were like human metronomes. I once read the studio logs of Beatle records out of like 350 mistakes during a song, 8 were Starr’s.

This thread must contain nod to the great ex Small Faces drummer Kenny Jones WHO while no Ginger Baker, did step into Moon’s shoes quite well indeed.

Afterall, that is the primary job of the drummer
