On that particular live version of Twilight Zone, there's a ton of tapping on the ride. And this was what the non-pro guys I played with in HS and College used to rely on, and it would get on my nerves, that ting-ting-ting right over my back shoulder when I'm trying to sing 
If I go and listen to the studio version, however, it's quite different. During the chorus he's mixing it up on the high-hat, no reliance on tapping the ride (or if it's there, it's buried in the mix so I don't pick up on it), I really do dig the drumming in that version, it's pretty badass.
So maybe it's more fair to say, at least on that live version of that song, I'm not big on the way that it's different from the studio version drumming-wise.
Then I flipped to the last one and heard the ride tapping again. But then as it goes on, I appreciate the style more during the long instrumental part.
He's very solid though ... sturdy, workmanlike timekeeping, occasional bit of flash.
And the rhythm section do play really well with each other.
