It's because he was the first of his kind. He used techinques that drummers had never used in the time like the crossover riff and he demonstrated great skill at brush techniques. He was also the first to be called "The Best."
Sorry for sounding like an asshole, but i really failed to see this guys talent. Everybody is talking about him like the greatest drummer ever, but i dont really see why.
@kmorr32 you don't look like an asshole, everybody can have an opinion, espacially in the arts. Personally I love this drummer, at his time, his style was brand-new. That's why he's a drum llegend...
