Marco is one of those freakishly talented, brainy drummers drummer guys. He can probably learn the entire DT catalogue in three days.
That's why I don't like him for the job, I'd rather have a show-off, stick twirling, rock drummer than a prodigy like him.
I'd rather have someone like Mike Mangini step in, who is a great showman like Portnoy and plays in a way that normal people respond to.
9 out of 10 non-drummers will watch a Minneman drum solo and find it boring even though it's techincally amazing and very unique.
