Sometimes I prefer to listen to drummers talk. Its interesting.

I think you should avoid silly comments, and pay attention to Gavin also if he's only speaking... try to learn something from this great drummer and avoid ridiculous statements!!!

@aakkoin Don't disagree with you there

[aakkoin]

@tysweetdrums unless it's an idiot like Mike Portnoy

2:38 I've learned, when Gavin says he's bad at things...he's actually bloody amazing =p For instance when he says he's not much of a double-bass drummer...after listening to the insane middle bit of Anethsetise, I'm forced to disagree xD

@thispagesux yeah, that's probably the best way of writing a song (as a drummer), then taking it to your guitarist and showing him what you've done. Then. hopefully, he can build on it, make a complete guitar part and it's still your song :)

when i come up with drum parts, i always record it with a riff to put the beat into context. that they sound stupid but not when the beats includes 16th kick patterns, odd snare placements and hi-hat/bell patterns. its so i can show the guitarist how the parts could be used in a riff or rythm without a long explination! in metal music, i see a riff as a drum beat with notes.

Listening to him reminds me of Neil Peart. Although Neil doesn't talk much, it is evident from Rush's music that Neil writes music and he writes it in such a way as to not have the drums stepping on Geddy or Alex. They mesh so incredibly well and I think that is because Rush writes from the drummer's perspective and the other parts are melded in while other bands write from a guitar perspective and the drummer is left to find something that works.

Listen to Harrison, you uneducated ignorant dorks.

Thumbs up to people who said the same.
