I think, unmusical, and inelegant, to his ears. And eyes, and body, if he physically experienced the sensation of trying to play it while listening to it.
If you try to move your arms in the pattern that would be required to play it, you'd look like you were having an epileptic fit. So, he didn't really like it, but sure thought it was funny.
That peice is from 2007, and I'm not making much new stuff at all, and if I did, it would be in a somehwat radically different direction anyway. But it was the most outrageous drum fill I could dig up from any of my old stuff.
