Oh aye, he's got some skills, I just thought the choice of sound was a bit odd

But I think that's my bias, I really like the marching band influences in pop music, like the drums Idlewild's "American English", and some of the more recent muse and biffy clyro beats, my tastes don't really run quite in your direction so I'm thinking "I'd like that more if it was beefed up". But that's not your thing, so fair enough.
