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.

I dont think anyone who has a valid opinion really thinks he is an amazing drummer. The dude is good, perfect for what he does...poppunk. I cant think of a better drummer for...blink 182.
Is he one of my all time favorites, of coarse not. Do I like Blink 182 and think his drumming is spot on...definitely. I am sure he is better than he appears to be in his songs, but Neil Peart wouldnt exactly fit drumming for Blink now would he.
