Hi supermac
Have you had any thoughts about taking the 05ric stuff out live, with a small 4-5 piece band maybe?
I'm always thinking about it - there's just a lot of logistics to consider first.
Hi kevlionel
I have a question regarding the PT gig at the Royal Albert Hall in October.
Are you allowed to reveal some details about this special show?
No because it will only trigger the most incredible amount of moaning and complaining from some fans who always post on certain forums. No matter what we do - it won't please everyone.
I've never been in the Royal Albert Hall, however, I assume that it is a very beautiful venue and kind of a "prestige location". I'd like to ask if playing there is kind of "special" to you? Any special feelings about it?
It's a really nice venue - I've played there before with Level 42.
Hi Florian
A quick question regarding your touring, I'm curious as to whether or not you have a 'rider' or not contractually.
Yes we do - but I can't reveal the specifics of it.
Hi carlos ramos
I want to ask you something about accuracy and WOA you talked before.
I know that that is Impossible that any drummer can be 100% on spot with click all times
but how do you consider as a good WOA?
That's a kind of personal preference. What I might find unacceptable - someone else think is fine. I'd hope to get within about 10 milliseconds - I think tthat would satisfy my Window Of Acceptability. The real important part is that you're consistent. If your snare is about 15ms behind the beat pretty much all the time - that will be your groove. If it's not consistently in the same zone - it won't sound good. Same with the bass drum and hi hat of course.
i record myself and when i go and analyze, normally i tend to be like 1/64 note antecipated to click. sometimes in worst parts maybe 1/32 note. can you talk more about accuracy and how to develop this. and about a good acepptabe WOA. i think half 1/64 was good.
In my experience most people play in front of the beat somewhere between a few milliseconds and a couple of weeks!! When you hear a drummer playing right on the beat - they sound laid back relative to the other musicians who might be playing in front. You can't really measure in 1/64ths because it would be a different amount of milliseconds depending on the tempo.
cheers
