That doesn't mean that he doesn't keep steady time on a broader scale, but it breathes.
I heard a drummer once complain that Carl Palmer's timing is too impeccable, like he is a human metronome, and it makes him sound dole and uninspired. I rather like Carol's drumming, he is classically trained and Jazz influnced playing is pretty great imo.
