I hate drum beats, and that's why I like Ulrich. He plays in rhythm with the guitars and the only thing he does other than that is play drum fills. I find his drum fills to be very interesting.
Not even his drum fills make him a worthwhile member of the band. It's not really fair to compare a guy who played in a technical death metal band to Ulrich, but Sean Reinert (ex-Cynic, ex-Death) has that jazz background and he's just so much more creative with even better fills, and far better texture than Ulrich, and they're about the same age too.
