As his long-time crony Mick Fleetwood said, "John tends to play in front of the beat, I tend to play slightly behind and we meet somewhere in the middle."
I wish I understood what this means. I have read references in other places to a drummer playing "ahead of the beat" (or a similar phrase.) But ... doesn't the drummer *create* the beat in a rock song?

It's good to see John getting some credit for his musicianship, by the way.
