And some "expert" drummers would disagree with that, for whatever dumb reason. They're like "oh but this drum solo isn't that impressive". Whatever. Virtuoso musicians are highly overrated to be honest. Virtuosity is nice, sure, but being a virtuoso doesn't somehow automatically make your music better. Sometimes simplicity is key. Many of the melodies in songs I like are so sweet and beautiful, yet they're very simple. "My Heart Will Go On" from Celine Dion is an example. It's how I respond emotionally (and physically) that makes me either enjoy some music or hate it, not how "skilled" the musician is.

@@PleasantLakeDrummer so you're saying he's better with one arm than he was with two arms? You would have to be saying that because even with two arms he wasn't even close to the best.

It may be an acoustic looking kit but it uses triggers and a drum module for its sounds. They have to be triggered electrically because there's no way you could match an acoustic drum on his right hand to a computer generator drum sound on his left foot. They have to be electric so they can be the same sound.
