It´s worth to mention that the sound of his drums is -no doubt- the worst of any previous drummer of the band. I was reading many of the comments about how he enjoys hitting/bashing cymbals and I agree. I see it as one of his trademarks. No cymbal bashing=no Jason.
In 1995 he sounded better (his drums not his style) than today. The use of reverb was good and inherited from Boris but then gradually he lost it and with the studio albums became evident that the guy wasn´t prepared for the job.

hi. it doesn´t change a single phrase I said.
Jason used a Roland octapad to play live many of the electronic percussions needed and that was OK since the studio version was full of them.
So according to your info, SMUD are TWO guys then. OK I failed to say it was just ONE guy.
The problem isn`t the use of technology but abusing of it. Boris never needed backing tapes as he played most of the percussions LIVE w/pads. Jason has all PRE-RECORDED along with horrible rhythmic patterns.

in fact he DID used "electric sounds" in Strange Attaction, Treasure, etc. what they DIDN'T use in the past are the horrible backing tapes with lots of percussions. Regarding smud: it's obvious he is a guy that helped jason in studio.
I agree with the guys saying that Boris was the best drummer of The Cure and he needs to return to the band. A great drummer is Boris.

yes I remember my friend. That's why I write about with with a little nostalgia...
I recently watched all KROQ concert and something must happen to jason as songs like Primary, A Forest, Jumping and Grinding Halt are really bad with a slow bad tempo to them. As others say it's probably Robert's decision which I really don't think it's the case.
