what's this thing that sounds like plastic cowbell?

btw i'm actually surprised by all the craziness in comments here... lesson is useful and accesible, but what do you actually see in this drumming apart from being "proper". i'm curious. ...and know it's probably very hard to express ones taste but maybe someone could try?

@odolany I didn't understand your comment...come on man...he's a very underrated drummer in my opinion...SURE he's not the best. Can you find another rock drummer which such creativity, skills and power at the same time?

[TheLastJrummer]

How is his snare mounted? It looks like its kinda bouncing when he hits it.. Or is his stand kinda wobbling?

[traQQua90]

@TheLastJrummer I'm not sure but maybe he uses the Tama Air Ride System

[Emnalioth]

He is the drum master

@traQQua90 I think that in a some f-d -up way Dom Howard and Pat Torpey compete in the same league. Big, creative and powerful stadion-rock drummers who base their style on hard rock mixed with jazz sensibilities.

@odolany I think it is a LP Rock Ridge Rider cowbell. It has i plastic bar on top of it, to protect the cowbell as weel as the drumstick :)
