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

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

[BongoBoy]

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.

[Secret Journey]

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

[GinaSuperCat]

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!

[DirtyMartini]

Wow.

Damn.

MORE!

[animal]

yay.

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

encore encore encore

[Spec A!]

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".

[Divemistress of the Dark]

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!!!

Laz

[Spec A!]

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!!!

[georgygirl]

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

[georgygirl]

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"...
