I would hardly consider Will's drumming lazy as it seems to me that
everytime I've seen Sunny Day I've wondered at what point in the show Will
was going to either a) put his stick right through the snare or b) break the
better half of his cymbals....very few, if any drummers, play as hard as
Will. Lord he rocks.
