I'd be frightened to hear people saying things like this play, because they're not parsing what they're hearing very well.

I don't know what you mean "on a fine-grained" level. Jim Fox and Frank Beard are loose in my book. Palmer is very tight, accurate and maybe this comes from his studying. Palmer is very profient, what he does is very rudimentary. I'm not saying he can't do the shuffle or strike the Toms at a odd time, but when he does it's exactly where it should be.
