It's his birthday . . . according to wikipedia, Cutler "developed a technique using a "top-down" approach as opposed to the traditional "bottom-up" approach used by schooled drummers. Drummers are first taught basic patterns which are later combined into more complex patterns. Cutler learned the opposite way, hearing or imagining a sound and then disciplining his hands and feet to reproduce it. This "top-down" approach resulted in a unique style of drumming that pervades all of Cutler's performances and recordings."

Does that mean he would learn Terry Bozzio's drum parts, then go back and find the paradiddles?

Hm.
