All three of those drummers you mentioned are nothing special. Of course John rivals them. Seriously, all three of those guys you mentioned have no individual style, just generic death metal drumming. Flo Mounier gets special mention for being a dick in person and not caring that the quality of his band's music has gone to hell. Not that Cryptopsy wasn't the biggest load of pseudo tech-wankery I've ever heard.
Anyways, back on topic, Origin songs are hard to cover on drums mainly because the speed keeps them out of most people's skill range. In terms of technique, though, I challenge anyone to perform YYZ as well as Neil Peart. Being that precise is not an easy task at all.
