He can barely play Necrophagist? Are you joking? I'm not even a Necrophagist fan, but this guy is a machine. I was honestly bored by them at Summer Slaughter, but this guy nails everything. One of the top drummers IN THE WORLD along with guys like Terry Bozzio, Vinnie Colaiuta, Thomas Lang, Virgil Donati, etc.

Except he didn't play everything perfect at the show. He jazzified a lot of the rhythms which was retarded, it's death metal, stay to what the recordings are like. He's not the right drummer for them at all.

I don't see why he should have to play exactly like the recordings. He's not the old drummer. He can add his own flavor. Pardon him for wanting to throw in just a TINY BIT of his ability outside of his solo.

when joining a new band you should learn the parts exactly as they are played on the record. you know if the guitarist added his own flavor to his solo's live, everyone would be pissed. i feel the same about the drummer. He's an amazing drummer, has no business being in that band.
