Aug 20, 2008 - I think 'evaluating a guy based on one song' is a YouTube tradition. "If this guy can't show me everything he's got in a 2 minute clip, then he sux". People writing stuff like that tend to like the guys who CAN show you everything they've got in 2 minutes - or they tend to like only one style of music, so everything else 'sux'.

Aug 20, 2008 - Why is simon on top of the big circle and the others on small circle's?:D

Aug 20, 2008 - As far as I remember he wrote most of the songs and was sort of the "spiritual leader" of the band .
tuttskifruttski Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Because this is HIS instructional video so it's natural that he's in middle.

Aug 20, 2008 - Simon is truly underrated;he is very musical, and has a metronome internally: truly awsome!

Aug 20, 2008 - It actually has nothing to do with comfort or using hi-hats in fills. I write/draw with my right hand but I'm dominant left on a kit. We use both hands equally but we have a stronger left-hand lead..which is reserved for the hi-hat and ride cymbal. You grow up playing that way. Also, a "right-handed" drummer can actually learn to play "open-handed"

Aug 20, 2008 - Because it's taken from a Drum instruction video called Simon returns ( it's now out on DVD), so that's why he's the center peace, it's a Simon Phillips film !.

Aug 20, 2008 - While you are completely correct, it's also because his drums take up way more space than the other guys guitars.

Aug 20, 2008 - In the instructional part of this video, he showed how with a metronome playing in your headphones, you shouldn't hear it. If your hearing the metronome while you're playing, you are not in time with it. You should be playing over it, which should make it unhearable (is that a word). He is amazing. That video really helped my timing.
erikimba Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - in actuallity you hear the click very soft almost unhearable, the point is that if your playing is solid and you are in time with the metronome then the sound is mixed with your strokes. so you can say than click simply dissapears
