It doesn't make them bad drummers whatsoever, but that's why they're overrated to begin with. Both Carey and Peart make a point of showing off how many heads they can whack in one sitting, and it's not flattering. And it really looks like they're confused when they're on drums - like they don't know which head they should hit. In my book, mechanical (not technical) finesse and energy counts for waaaaay much more than how big your drum kit is.

I'll take John Dolmayan over Neil Peart any day.
