I don't like to mix popularity with ability or capability. Lars as entertainer, or even song writter? 10 out of 10. Lars as a drummer? Meh, at best. Any good drummer is entitled to wrinkle the nose when he has to read "Lars is a top drummer", when they really mean "I like Metallica a lot, and their drummer is called Lars".

It is just the GenX version of defending Ringo Star's drumming.

Had more to do with luck, knowing the right people and having the right look than anything to do with drumming ability.
