Some people speak faster. Some guitarists play more notes. Some drummers play more notes. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's not tasteful. Some people think faster. I'm sure that Bruner's mind is thinking so fast that these fills don't seem nearly as nuclear as they do to me.
I too prefer bigger notes and more space, with the odd flurry here and there. But that's me.
i see your point, but tasteful playing to me is playing the appropriate thing at a given moment with good judgement. regardless of what type of playing style you're in to, generally speaking, i think it's safe to say he's not playing too tastefully. at least not in THAT clip. just because someone is into punk rock doesn't mean playing that style on seven days is just "different taste" (i know, sorta extreme example but you get my point).
