In all fairness to Mel Gibson above "Several of the beats on that album became legendary" would seem to imply he was a great drummer. I agree it's rather odd to take issue with what was an unusual analogy to begin with but it was hardly an outlandish response/comment.
Mel Gibson? I don't get that but his response was fair and considered and correct. The OP trolled a highly subjective argument about who's the best drummer which completely missed the point of the original comment and the entire story.
