To bring in jazz drumming as a comparison is rubbish. Whens the last time someone compared Hendrix to a jazz guitarist? Because that jazz musician knows how to play a Aminorflat5 in 10 spots instead of maybe 1 or 2 he is better?
Think you misinterpreted what I was saying. I was actually kind of making the point that the song was attempting to be slightly jazzy, and also basically said the same thing that you are saying here.
