Meg does suck, but the music is written around her sucking. When you simplify, you emphasize other aspects of the music, which is part of the point of rock and/or roll.

I don't think I've done anything with a full on crash like that. The closest is probably Baba O'Reilly. My current drummer comes from a metal attitude, is usually too loud for the room anyway and we wind up playing very loud. I control his dynamics by leaning over when we go to a soft section. This is my only beef with the guy because otherwise he is excellent. In particular his meter is perfect.
