pshht, I imagine that he's playing in Drop C because he wants to play like nu-metal godsmack-like stuff. also, he sounds like a newbie, so I doubt he'd really tell much of a difference if the intonation is slightly off. back in the day when I would drop tune, that's all I did, and I never had problems. nowadays my musical ear has improved, and I no longer detune my guitar. but if I did, I would probably do the whole truss rod and intonation thing.. but seriously, if you're going to be switchin back and forth between tunings alot, you won't want a full set-up, because then when you go back to standard, then everything is wrong again (and could endanger the life of your truss rod!)
