Well, I am not the most accomplished musician in the world. But, I have a sufficient knowledge of musical theory. I played guitar for a while, but am now an accomplished drummer. Johnny Fay is not the most skilled drummer in the world. He is sufficient for the Hip's straightforward rock stylings. I love the Hip and I love Johnny, but as far as the drumming goes on the new album, he is not really pushing any limits as compared to previous Hip albums. The only exception I would give is Heaven Is A Better Place Today. There are several more complicated fills and off-beat crashes than Johnny would normally do. Not that it is anything fantastic, just out of the ordinary. Regardless, HIP ROCK!!! Hope this helps a little.
