"Get outside your instrument" - that is so true.

Man I wish I could meet him and just hang out!!

Hey Spec! don't you wish that clip was an hour long with Stewart showing us some chops!

Damn! will we ever have it?

Cheers.

ive allready got the sky box set to record can't wait for this on sunday

No kidding, precisely like the centipede even though were quadripedes at the most...cept for Stewart and that third arm I could never tire of hearing Stewart talking about &/or playing drums!

Wow.

Damn.

MORE!

yay.

It is so true, soon as you think about it, it trips you up.

encore encore encore

STEWART! If you are reading this please please please make an instructional DVD!!!! I know like most of us on here, I will probably never get to meet you. An instructional drumming dvd is the best chance we'll have to "sit with you and chat".

Yep. That'd be awesome. I bought Andy's guitar DVD a while back and it's a gas.

"Play outside your instrument..." That also works with drawing. Seriously. Most people get all tripped up when they start thinking "I'm drawing a picture of a chair/tree/house"...you have to just draw shapes and lack of shapes, sort of.

Now THIS is exactly what I was talking about!! When I met Stewart at the Everyone Stares screening last year at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood and I asked him about drum lessons, he was telling me that he didn't consider himself adequate to teach drum lessons... THAT'S quite alot of wisdom from just a one-minute video clip. I can only imagine how much I can learn from the guy in 30 minutes or 1 hour!!!

See Stewart?!?!? SEEE?!!?!?!

You could totally do this, and make many many people in the world so very happy and fulfilled. Don't be so Modest!!!

Mmm, maybe he is a little bit shy to teach...

Stewart shy? I think he'd be a fabulous teacher. Maybe I'd have stuck with guitar if I'd had a teacher like him (or HIM). One might never get a word in edgewise, though

I wish there was more to the video clip. Maybe one of our British friends can find a way to show us more

Well, Laz give this evidence:

That is why I think that maybe he is a little bit shy to teach...

Well, I've just watched it. There wasn't an enormous amount more than we saw in that clip on the BBC website. He was awesome though - he jammed a bit on guitar and generally bounded around like an over-excited Great Dane puppy. I'm at my parents' this weekend and my little sister came in and exclaimed that "he's just like Animal from The Muppets"...
