Not a big fan of comparing, but if I had to choose, it's Gavin all the way. No one is as versiatle, no one is as co-ordinated and no one's got that perfect rythmic understanding and feel that Gavin so gracefully puts into a drumset. I'm not saying he's the best in the world, cause there is no such thing. But he is a LEGEND!
Gavin Harrison and Guthrie Govan are two of the most musically articulate as well as speech articulate musicians I have ever heard. It`s a joy just to listen to them speaking.
I was wondering where the electronic drums are hidden. That's how good Gavin is. It took me 2 minutes to realize hes locking in perfectly with the electronic background music
Maybe you don't know but Gavin has been playing so much in Italy with many artist and singers such as Claudio Baglioni, Fiorella Mannoia, Eugenio Finardi, Alice, Raf etc. An honour for me, as italian, … because he is my favourite drummer! ;)
What an amazing work ethic he has! I have a lot of respect for his willingness to play whatever he could play in order to be a professional, rather than thinking of himself as an artíste.
It's critically important for all young musicians to learn how to read. There are many accounts of how Buddy Rich could not read until very late in his career.
Then why is it so important? Buddy Rich was the greatest of all time and, as you say, he did the majority of his work without knowing how to read music. In my opinion, a good ear is far more valuable than knowing how to read sheet music
I really like his drumming style. Very versatile. It must come from the jazz influence and all the different types of music he dove into. Listening to American jazz drumming rather than British might explain why Phil Collins was not mentioned as an influence, cuz I hear a lot of Collins style in there. Phil played fusion and R&B so also was quite versatile. It is great that Gavin learned to read charts at an early age. That discipline forms a rock solid base. Love his work with Porcupine Tree.
Gavin is playing to an early 80's Paiste demo written by Toto's David Paich and Jeff Porcaro the greatest groove sticksman ever. The guy clearly has taste as well as talent!
im 14 and my main inspirations are gavin harrison, mike portnoy, nico mcbrain, chris adler and danny carey. these drummers have relay inspired me to start using the bell of my ride more and get more technical and not whack the fuck out of my drums as it is not relay needed. all you need to make a good beat is sole and emotion is playing.
You're the Bernie Sanders of drummers except you've gotten so much better and.... you're essentially you. The best drummer in the world if you give the world a chance.
Careful, hold on tight, you are entering a zone where someone actually plays MUSIC on the drums. I think you better go clean the shit out of your ears and give it another listen. Oh, and you ever bring up travis barker's name on another Gavin Harrison video, Chuck Norris will show up at your house and smash your face into the toilet!! lol
Gavin is the best drummer of the new generation...now is my idol after Ian Paice and John Bonham!

Wow! He used to drum in an orchestra pit? My respect for this man just grows and grows!

Discipline and hard work , that' s what it is all about and of course Gavins' Impressive talent.....
Damn, I'm new to PT and still haven't listened to the stuff he was involved in, but his drumming in this video is amazing.
Gavin is an excellent role model for work ethic. The man is dedicated.
wow i wish more modern day musicians were like this guy! so humble so knowledgable! and of course a badass drummer! def a new favorite!

Great drummer. Classy, humble and immensely talented.

@@eligiolThat might be a fair crit. Buddy seemed more into flash and dash than the music. A real entertainer, but technically brilliant.

One of the best out there right now.
So far I'm enjoying hearing the guy talk... more than his drumming...
(I'm funny that way).
I'm a guitarist, but one of my favorite drummers in the last few years has been Gavin along with Kris Meyers from Umphrey's McGee.
Check out an drummer called Chad Sexton, hes in a Bill Bruford type of mould great
Boa noite gigante da baterá você toca muito eu sou seu fã grande e excelente baterista

Well, Danny Carey perhaps? Both are amazing, really unique!

It’s heavy af in the beginning but it gets more intricate as the song goes on
God takes drum lessons from Gavin Harrison

0:00--0:20: 8-bit Gavin.

0:00 set to 1.25x speed and it sounds like a machine

An englishman saying he was a good "soccer" player? He must've been drunk! :)
right?
right?
He's spent time in the US and knows he's talking to an American.
Considering the best soccer teams are British, you are trolling hard with your comment. You might be confusing with the Americans and their baseball.
MikeVonDoom jokes on you
A Machine.......101% Machine
I don't drum, never will drum, don't play any instruments. I watch lots of Gavin Harrison videos.
Jeff Porcaro!!
