He's basically a YouTube guitar noodler for drums. It looks and sounds cool on first watch, but he chronically over-plays.

Liberty DeVitto. One of the best live drummers ever.

Stewrt Copeland has Pablo Drums down as his current favorite. But he's in a band.

He's still in The Pineapple Thief. Gavin is a great example of musicality working with virtuosity.

My jury is still out. I’ve yet to hear him play something slower in tempo with an R&B or Soul feel.

To me, it’s all just super fast and full of notes.

I would also have to hear his time keeping live. As Jeff P said….everyone is a drummer until the click track starts.

Not sure, but this guy looks much larger framed than the ST drummer.

Damn. This could very well be him. I also thought Delta Empire looked a little bit bigger/taller. Now that I’ve watched a few drum cam videos of Sleep Token(Adam Pedder) it’s very close.

I saw Buddy Rich when he was in his 70's. He was still amazing.

He's certainly talented.

He composed pretty damn good on their solo album. And he lays back a lot for those that say he only overplays.

Yeah, that's definitely not him. I'm not sure how you can watch the two play and think they're the same person.

Should've clarified, I am only speaking on his covers that I've watched (all of which he overdoes) - have not seen any work from his actual band
