well, of course the drummer should have great timing, okay, having said that, then it's all about hitting the drums as powerful as possible, at least in the kind of music I play. A limp hitting drummer won't cut it. Yes, timiing is important, but so is hitting those suckers as hard as you can, with as much power as you can. Playing with an easy touch is great for a lounge act. In my music, you have to slam them babies, nothing less is acceptable. volume and power.
20 years later, most drummers have gone crazy from hitting these objects as hard as possible, all in an effort to make as loud a noise as possible.
