Hey CarterB_Junkie,
thanks for the kind words!
>Couple of questions : Do you know when the Porcupine Tree live DVD will be ready ?
I can't wait !
We're hoping later this summer. Still editing all the footage at the moment.
>A common question but : Who were your heroes when you started playing ? Your main influences ?
I listened to a lot of drummers: Steve Gadd, Jeff Porcaro, Harvey Mason, Stewart Copeland, Simon Phillips, Billy Cobham, Steve Jansen.
>Any recent players that caught your ears ? What do you think of Carter Beauford ? Danny Carey ?
Recently I've been listening to Tomas Haake, Morgen Agren. Carter and Danny are great too.
>Do you care that some metal drummers play tunes at 250/280BPM ?
Only that they might catch on fire at that speed!!! Really, I've never been interested in speed. I don't like to think of the drums as an 'Olympic event'.
>Do you care about metal at all ?
I've really been enjoying Meshuggah - and had the chance to meet Tomas - and see a gig on their last tour of the US.
Cheers
Gavin
