Lars is incredibly overrated and I'm a huge Metallica fan. The tool drummer is on another level compared to Lars. Metallica is who they are because of James and Kirk. You could insert another drummer in there and not really notice I believe. Not saying Lars is bad, but from a creativity standpoint, he's just kind of meh and doesn't really put his stamp on their music like the tool drummer does.

I'm always hard on Lars, and have been in this thread - so I'll give credit where credit is due. Lars delivers in the studio when he has to. If he has a signature sound, it is his use of bronze, which is pretty good, although he does not stray too far afield. His double bass is also pretty good.
It is his snare and tom work, as well as his ability to keep time, that hold him back, IMHO. He's not a highly technically skilled drummer, with complex polyrhythms in his repertoire, but a lot of drummers are in this same category. If that was the only knock against him, it wouldn't be too bad. Keith Moon wasn't a great timekeeper and wasn't particularly crisp, generally, but he was highly innovative and unique - that worked for The Who. FWIW, Lars must be deemed as "the right" guy for Metallica, although he is clearly the weakest player and has been throughout the existence of the band.

Nobody in this thread has anything positive to say about Lars so I don't know how he's overrated.
