Listen to him in concerts: he can't keep time. In the studio (where he can use a metronome), yes, his drum parts are perfect for the song. But he's just not a good and consistent drummer, and he's gotten worse over time: it seems like he just doesn't practice.
There's even a theory that he doesn't even try to keep time, but instead leaves that to James.
No one's complaining about the style of his drum parts; if he could play them properly, no one would be complaining (aside from the sound of the snare on St. Anger).
- zo1 3y agoThought they have metronome-like things playing in their ear pieces as part of hearing their performance?
- midoridensha 3y agoNot a musician, but I've never heard of anything like that. I would think that if every band member did that, it would end up just causing confusion. If only the drummer did it, it might work OK, but still, many songs have different tempos in different parts, so I don't think it would be a good solution. Normally, the drummer is supposed to have a very good sense of tempo and control the tempo for the whole band. But again, I'm no pro musician.
