There's eight so far, you'll see them in the related links.  :)

Designed to be a follow-up to the clinics, these are fascinating and often jaw-dropping.

Interesting stuff. I also looked at the video there showing Craig playing at the UK finals of the V-Drum World Championship and wondered where he'd come. After a brief search, I found a page covering the finals held at the NAMM in California recently and was disappointed to see that Craig wasn't representing the UK.

However, fast forward to the end of that video ... and you'll see that Craig was a judge. So, I presume that he was playing a demo at the UK finals, not competing  ;)

By the way, can one of the drummers here tell me what's going on at about 1:19-1:24 and again at 2:20-2:30 into Craig's UK finals performance, the latter just before he goes completely apeshit at the end  :shock:

Thank you, but I'm the international demonstrator so was just doing a set at the end of the evening

I call it time shiffting or stretching. The original pulse is playing at one tempo which I'm counting in my head and my limbs play a varying mix of patterns and tempos at other tempo's completely not related to the track, they both meet at the end of the phrase or bar etc etc and off it goes again. Something I've worked on for years to play 4 times signatures at four tempo's over a different tempo if you get my drift

"Time shifting" or "stretching", Craig? I was going to go with "cock-up", but perhaps "prog!" would be more apposite ...  8-)

Don't take me seriously; I'm no drummer and am constantly amazed by how people can throw all of their limbs in different directions at once (and even at different tempos  ;) ), and yet make it sound fabulous ...

BTW, did you ever get the picture I took of you at The Peel gig back in December?
