I think that Tico's a technically skilled drummer tbh but he rarely shows it in Bon Jovi that much (particularly on studio tracks) as he plays what the songs require. A lot of the difficult things he plays live are actually played that well that they seem easier than they are too. In that respect, I think he's a very underrated musician.

We've had many a good drummer play for our band over the years and not many of them have been able to nail Tico's playing style. Some of the drummers we've auditioned have been technically amazing but as soon as any of them came out with the line, "Tico's playing is very straight forward," or something similar, it set off the warning bells immediately as it just showed how much they'd actually listened to some of the songs. KTF is one track in particular that we know trips up the majority of drummers, even the better ones.
