Add to that the fact that his band got a fair amount of press, notoriety, coverage, etc. over the past year, and it's no stretch to also call him a rising star.
It's clear you have issues with how words in the English language are spelled, but please try not to re-define them for the rest of us.

Sloppy ghost notes and rolls, and while you might not like how Hale flails away at his kit (most fans of that music do, though), she doesn't even hit her toms hard enough to get a decent sound out of them half of the time. She also missed a drum at one point, don't think I heard that out of Hale. I'm not trying to down her, she's a good drummer. Just making a point here.
Soundcreation is right with the subjective angle (it took me some time to learn this, as some of you might recall), but even where pure technicality is concerned, I don't think you have much of an argument.
