Thumbs up if you were watching this video like me:1. sitting in your own room, 2.with headphones on and 3.staring a computer monitor.

[Manic205]

This made me stop playing video games and focus on drumming 24/7.

@Mp5Drummer I once did the same thing trying to get my friends into in absentia, glad to know others find that a sweet bonding experience as well :D

[ThyArtIsMetal]

Everything he said from about 4:00 on describes my problems with my generation.

although i myself have fallen into this same rut of being in my room with headphones on for long amounts of time, mostly what i spend doing is listening to albums repeatedly and learning from and how to play the music. I take solace in the face that i still jam with other people as much as possible and that im not entirely brain dead like some other members of my generation.

Those words sum up my iPod

I really would like to listen to all that stuff but somehow i can't choose between the new stuff i would like to listen, and i end up by simply play a track i perfectly know.

This video, These words are actually moving, at least they are to me.

I really can't think of another person that said that before he did.

[alfiebonassward96]

why does he say soccer if he's english?

[Holdsworthands]

3:50 hahahahahaha too much hahahahahaha

[Tearsband]

Great teacher...!

Peace gav:)

[Mp5Drummer]

I'm 18, and I feel almost embarrassed by my small music collection compared to many friends who aren't even musicians. Thing is though, browsing through, I see a couple of plays on each track, many with none. When I get an album, that will get listened to again and again and again and again. Like Gavin said, the choice provided by a vast library straight away is too much, I like to have my collection slowly building with music that I love and appreciate to its fullest.

@darkalleyheroes I got the chance the other day. House party, yet me and 2 others ended up in a room, commandeered a speaker and listened to our favourite Dream Theater album, and it was awesome!

[PedroGonzalezMusic]

I think I learned more in that interview than in a lot of DVD's for drummers, which are great. Sometimes is not having better technique, faster frasings, etc that will help you being a better musician .. sometimes is just the understanding and creative part that you should work on. Great video .. THANK YOU for sharing, and This is a video that should be watched by ALL the musicians!

[EatSleepGrow]

This left me completely speechless, and made me realise a ton of things that were right there in front of me all along.  I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do now, so I'm going to sit down and just listen to my favourite Porcupine Tree albums, again and again and again.
