This is still one of the finest examples of a brilliant drum track. It does not impose on the track and obscure the songs musical themes, yet without it, the song would be just another Thrash Metal track. Considering that it is older than a lot of people on this forum is testament to it's excellence:

I agree with you that sometimes simplicity makes the best drum tracks and that over-elaboration can become very tiresome, but as a personal preference I like seeing technicality in musicians. Not over-elaboration, but simple examples of technicality. Although that video is pretty awesome and an example of very talented drumming, I just can't get past the fast-paced double-kicking and mechanized smacking that just reminds me of so many other drumming examples of those genres...
