cause honestly, he's not a bad drummer it's just that alot of ppl dislike Blink and therefore thinks he sucks as well.

Don't try to defend him to people that just don't like Blink.

It's like preaching to a choir of walls. It does no good.

I like his hip hop collaborations.

Let's just say that non-drummers might have a higher propensity for thinking TB is very talented versus drummers and/or individuals who listen to enough exceptional drummers to know the difference between a great one and a mediocre one.

You can probably make a pretty accurate assumption out of just that, and never have needed to be astonished.
