Technically he is not all that impressive (although I suppose he could be and just doesn't show it) but what he plays fits the music perfectly and adds so much energy and life to the songs--for example the sixteenth note beat he plays at the beginning of the Document mix of Finest Worksong is carried over onto the ride cymbal . . . with one hand. Big deal, one might be inclined to say. But it fits the music PERFECTLY. And what else is there? If the best drummer in the world sounds like sh*t with his band, what's the point? --the Talking Drum Mr. Smoke-too-much
