Pretty much.
I watched it again a couple of times and it did get easier to follow, he just doesn't dumb certain things down enough to catch the first time.
Regardless, shifting the 1 just isn't a priority to me right now. I didn't care when I saw Gavin Harrison do it either. David Garibaldi apparently covers the subject too.
I realize I sound a bit ignorant - Spanky can obviously apply what he does very well, and it's beyond me, doesn't make me care though. Excellent drummer, I just don't connect with his style, or the music in the video. And I don't like those onyx heads.
