Lars is terrible, but that's relative. He's a terrible timekeeper who is not as entertaining as Keith Moon was (also another terrible timekeeper). Is Lars better than a lot of working drummers? Yes.

Is Lars about 2 or 3 tiers lower than the rest of the talent that went through the band over the years? Absolutely.

It's actually the opposite of what you say here:

Lars also benefitted from having great musicians around him in the original run as well that they are most well known for.

If Lars was in a band with comparable talent to him, he'd sound fine - we would just never have heard of him.
