Yea, PComdey, the Steve Morse picking is pretty awesome. Maybe it it the old-fashioned polka drumming that that kinda wrecks it.

That's the most common drum beat in country and bluegrass. It's what drummers refer to as the "train beat". In standard time it's basically kick on 1 and 3, foot on the hat on 2 and 4, with 8th note snares all the way through with an accent on 2, 4, and the "and" of 4. It can also be notated in cut time. The Drum notation in cut time using 16ths would look like this:

Now, the slap bass wasn't even remotely close to "old-fashioned".

the guitar chops were superb.
