Pete was invited to join the death metal band Morbid Angel, after which Terrorizer broke up. He is still known as one of the fastest drummers in metal, though some say he has slowed down since his peak with Morbid Angel. He is one of the few drummers that plays a blast beat with the 1 foot technique. Some cite Pete as the drummer most responsible for introducing rhythmically precise blast beats (i.e. one set of bass-snare-bass-snare per count at 16th note tempos), as opposed to previous drummers many of whom had played blast beats simply as an alternation of bass and snare hits as fast as possible. Pete is also among the first extreme metal drummers to champion the use of acoustic drum triggers, a practice once scorned and unfairly labeled "cheating". Pete continues to maintain and improve upon the fluid, extreme percussive formula he helped create, earning the title "Pete the Feet".
