But to put it very nicely, I think that the drummer takes away from the performance. Comping is random and the way he sets up ensemble hits is ugly. His random snare comping makes it sound very elementary. And how nice it would it have been at the beginning, after the intro, if he was using brushes. Just unattractive swag all around.
