regarding the drum fills:
What works in a recording is different than what works in a live performance. Recordings are typically much more controlled and measured, but it's practically expected that when performing live the musicians will overplay.

I agree the drums are over the top in this song, but to me the excess gives the song a signature "live" feel. Which, for the genre, a certain lack of discipline and rebellion are almost required to get "the sound"

my 2 cents. One advantage of starting out with the intention of achieving a "live" sound is that the end result will almost certainly be more exciting. On the down side, it will also tire your ears more quickly. It boils down to creative choice based on the effect you hope to achieve.
