For me, DW has always written and arranged in such
a way that there was always something going on. The
drum set in his music always seems to find ways to inner-
weave it's way into every aspect of the music. Though I
personally found this to be a bit much at times, I must
admit that Dave seemed to always find a way to make this
happen without actually overplaying and overwhelming
whatever else was going on... That has always been a
fascination with me... Along with the injection and placement
of his fills, and the great detail he takes in tuning his kit
regarding each individual shell to the most perfect pitch.
And he's so much better now than he was then and he was
killin' back in those days.
