Russell Holzman is not a staple name in guitar music. Rightfully so as he is a drummer. As I am someone who is easily triggered by beats more than guitar-playing, Russell is essential listening to me.
What's the big deal? Russell has disciplined himself to master breakbeats which are commonly handled by machines / programming rather than a person. The above clip is a breakdown of his approach to handling & manifesting these beats. Does one need to play like a machine to be deemed good? No. It's the discipline that defines the player, not the genre & most certainly not speed.
