Yes I find that really annoying. It's very distracting and hard to play the drums whilst folks are blowing smoke over you - especially some kind of weed.

I wanted to ask you something about "Futile":
Could you explain the part when you go the China, in the beginning of the song. I've always tried to just play along, but I always get lost.
Not sure if it's been posted here before but I've found an interview with Gavin, pretty recently this year in Italy (I think): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkIhlaiZb3w
Enjoy!

Hi huXler
And the fill in Slippin' Away at about 2:15, or that you are doing live sometimes.
Am I right, that it consists of a kind of flam on a tom with the right hand, one stroke on the snare with the left, and then RRLL ghost notes?
I think it's a double on the bass drum followed by a flam (on the tom and snare) and then RRL on the snare.
Hey Gavin,
why don't you comment videos/mp3's?
Do you think your words would hurt people to much?
(Maybe People will get inspired and motivated through your words)
Thanks

For sure he has no time and doesn't want to open such a can of worms.
Yeah. Just think about it, Kalma, he does get tons of requests to check out performances, and even if he did check them out, his opinion would spawn another couple of questions from that person. Also, I have no doubt Gavin would know what most of us could work on if he saw a video of us playing, but it takes quite some time to actually sit down and write personalized tips and suggestions like a teacher would for every person out there that shows him a vid. It's already great that he is here answering questions almost daily, and they are quite personalized even. That's my take on it.
Fox.
Guys,
I do get a lot of requests via private messages and MySpace from people asking me to listen to their tracks and then give them my opinion. I don't really have the time or energy to do that - plus I really don't want to be put in that position where I'm going to have to criticize/comment on someone's performance and potentially upset them in the process.
I have done it in the past - and it's usually bitten me in the arse.
cheers
Gavin
