J-Rabb is my drumming hero, some his stuff is just gimmicky as hell (drumbal, freehand technique, rhythmsaws etc...) but I swear, he really takes unorthodox techniques and makes them shine. XD He also cracks me up. The faces he does during his solos= priceless.

I can see why he is your drumming hero. I wish I could pull off a tenth of the stuff he does in that video. Im still trying to learn Lateralus, and it snot going very well. You wouldnt happen to have sheet music for it or a decent tab? :>)
