Hmmm, maybe, but it was also what he listened to. As a boy and youth he'd been well into Krupa and Rich and the like as well as jazz drummers like Max Roach. In the later 60s and 70s he was massively into the Motown drummers and Al Jackson. My drum teacher met him a couple of times.not everyone can place notes where he places them......you can't really learn that stuff...you are born with that ...it's just the way your limbs fall
Basically, as far as I can see, he was a rock drummer but made that music using influences from jazz, soul, funk etc
