Eh. So are god knows how many other drummers. I think the point about him being the only drummer most people have ever heard of is the most valid here.

He went through a phase of being a guest drummer on a ton of tracks for people, some youtube vids that blew up, that kind of thing. For a while he seemed to be getting a ****ton of exposure for no apparent reason and I think his popularity went up because of that, then people searched for a way to justify it, and ended up saying "He's a better than average drummer, OMG SO GOOD AT DRUMMING".

He's alright. His reputation is way out of whack with his actual ability in the grand scheme of drummers though.
