I'm sure he would get pretty far wherever he wanted to go. He can probably play it both ways, and chose double strokes because for whatever reason it sounded better to him. Orchestral percussion is always about perfection regarding dynamics, rhythmic clarity, and timing, no matter where you go; in the same way, there are rudimental veins in both Europe and the US.
