Yet, I have to say that he didn't do much on MX...
Hurts Like Heaven is maybe not that complicated but it sounds great.
But Charlie Brown and Don't Let It Break Your Heart are mostly kicks.

I totally agree although he has some really great drum parts in Parachutes(Spies,Shiver) It's like he didn't really care that much anymore on MX

Let's hope LP6 contains a lot of Will Champion

Yes.
Oh, I hope so. He will always remain my no1 musician.
My expectations for the LP6 are far too high I think : D.
I would love to hear something like Warpaint - mysterious, glomy guitar riffs with Will on the guitar also and maybe place switches just to have some fun. Some choir singing and just hm... something like making fun and creating this very deep state in the music and the songs. Playing very band-ish not just Martin-ish.

In my place is just amazing... but I reall REALLY love the glastonbury performance of God put a smile on your face and the way they play it for the MX tour...its just insane when hes building it up on the snare (i think) for agers and chris johnny and guy are stood around him ready to rock!!

I've been paying a lot closer attention to Will's drumming lately, and I'm curious about something. Are there any songs where he plays substantially on the toms? He never seems to play tom fills, only the snare. I never noticed that about his drumming style until recently.

His drumming is always mostly snare and kick. Nothing he's done, great as it may be is especially complex by drumming standards.
