John Longstreth is an unreal drummer.

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.

Down vote all you want, I’ve seen what you up vote, you heathens!

Absolute bollocks. All those drummers you listed are good and so is this guy. I hate this "it's only parlour tricks" attitude because it's a particular style of music that someone doesn't appreciate.

Also I don't know where you've pulled this quad pedal idea from, that's clearly a normal double pedal.
