if you're trying to learn how to drift, that's how you do it - clutch on the floor when you pull the Ebrake.

Lol. Okay, go to "howstuffworks.com" and look up how a clutch operates.

You'll notice that when you have the clutch down, the pressure plate is no longer putting pressure on the clutch plate which in turn isn't putting any force on to the flywheel, therefore it will just spin freely.

The speed of the flywheel is reflected by your RPM's. So at Idle, it's not spinning fast at all. (Reason why people get lightened flywheels, to go through RPM's faster, and they fall faster). So what WILL burn a clutch? When you've got the clutch in, and rev high, then let go.

This forces the clutch to "catch" the flywheel. Of course this is how you can do burn outs, by quickly breaking traction--you will wear the clutch out. Riding the clutch also does this, because it will rub the clutch against the flywheel as it spins, wearing it down.
