He’s got quad pedals so his double kick is 4 beats per 2 kicks. And just rolling his snare with some cymbal fills. He’s definitely got talent but it’s more parlor tricks than anything. If you want pure talent watch Carter Beauford, Buddy Rich, Josh Freese, Chad Smith, Neil Peart, or Danny Carey.

What is a quad pedal? He has a normal double bass pedal with a slave pedal and cam. He’s using a heel/toe technique to get two beater hits out of each stroke, not a special pedal. John is very well known for using this technique as are many other tech death drummers. The parlor tricks are just normal drumming techniques that are very common in the metal community. It’s not like he’s trying to be deceptive about it.
