Actually it was when he got very fast and busy, and the cymbals were involved.
I don't really agree. For starters Roy's was most definitely a solo. Either that or most guitar, sax, synth and bass solos aren't. For mine it was the most enjoyable. It made musical sense to me and I loved his sound and touch. Horses for courses, eh?
NP was going hell-for-leather on the toms early (which I liked) but the first big cheer came when he did the old drum to cymbal routine. Actually one of his biggest cheers was when he played a standard jazz beat on the hats. Now that I think about it, it seems to me they were cheering at the familiar, which is maybe not such a surprise. I suspect that if he started playing the Wipeout beat on the floor tom he would have gotten a cheer too.
Funny old things, humans ...
