He's not off. He just started playing the high-hat on the up-beats (2 & 4) instead of the down-beats (1 & 3). If you listen, you will hear that the bass and snare are still on. He probably just decided to try it at the last minute. that's why he shrugged as if to say "well, it was worth a shot. What do you think?"
These videos have totally gotten me back into this band! These guys kick ass - I forgot how good they were...are....are they still touring around the US?
I love when he goes ohh a ohhh

start at 1:32 and at 1:41 the drummer is off and the track starts he misses and then looks at a guy and shrugs it off at 1:44/1:45.

I think he was just shrugging cos he was trying to adjust the hi hat in the break and couldn't quite get it before he came back in.

Man he just played it right but differently to make it insanely simple. Drummers dont go off unless they suck and then theyre not drummers muahaha
