This is the bit I fail to understand
As far as I can tell, the only thing that made him different to an average rock drummer was that he hit the drums very hard. There are some impressive fills, some impressive footwork on Good Time Bad Times, but I just find his style far too rigid. I've much more time for jazz-influenced drummers like Mitch Mitchell or Ginger Baker. (Though again, perhaps I'm being old-fashioned and clinging to the ideal that the bassist holds down the time and the drummer plays around it)
