Greetings From Mexico! You should analyze to Gavin in the song "What Happens Now (live)" by Porcupine Tree is even more impressive! 7/8 5/7 on 12/12 This is the Link ruclips.net/video/kQ8zNjgF7DA/видео.html and then "hatesong" Live Too ruclips.net/video/O5nAA_QXBPY/видео.html and "Bonnie The Cat" ruclips.net/video/XUA_n04C1bs/видео.html
Did you already listen to the new album from Porcupine Tree (CLOSURE / CONTINUATION)? You should! I think you should react on the song Harridan, if I need to pick one from that album. Gavin plays beyond belief.
Recently saw a documentary on Porcupine Tree and just days before the band was about to go into the studio to record their first "big" album (i.e. they had a budget and big label support) the band lead Steven Wilson fired the drummer. He had no replacement and thought it was all going to fall apart but the keyboardist said "I know this fellow I played with a couple of times, he's pretty good. Want me to give him a call?" It was Gavin Harrison. Can you imagine that you're desperate and the only drummer you can find is Gavin Harrison?
No shit huh? I was just contemplating what vetting process Steven went through to lock him in as a drummer, long term. Sometimes it's all who you know.
Gavin is not just a drummer, he is elite drummer. His virtuosity, feeling of the song, rhythm, and drums as an instrument above the chart. He is a sort of Van Gough of the drums art. His presence in any band says a lot of a band itself: PT, King Crimson, The Pineapple Thief, 05Ric - they all amazing bands. Drummers like GH are priceless.

An inspiration for this song was the story of two Wisconsin girls who apparently killed themselves in a suicide pact. Arielle Daniel, 17, and Heather Bates, 14, were struck by an Amtrak train on November 12, 2005 in what was ruled a suicide, but was possibly an accident. Daniel was a huge Porcupine Tree fan and created the band's MySpace page - it was reported that she was listening to Porcupine Tree on her iPod when she died. "She also became a part of that song," Wilson told us. "The idea was very disturbing to me, that there were young people that would seek escape through such brutal, This, like so many of Wilsons material, is a horrorstory tied to reality.
Love this track, and this entire concert. Thanks for backing up after the second stop to regain the flow into the chorus there. I'm always impressed that the band retains such rock-solid time in that outro section where Gavin is really playing around with the meter. I *think* they have a click given that their visuals are closely synchronized with the music.
1st chuckle - "Mansplaining", 2nd chuckle - "7 minutes 55, that's a long one". Like many my age, I fell in love with the drums in the 1980s because of Neil Peart. I discovered Gavin Harrison a little more than a year ago and he has changed the way I listen to the instrument. Precision, musicality, timing, pocket, groove and restraint... those are now my measuring sticks. I heard Gavin say in an interview once that there will always be someone who can play faster. I can't remember his exact words but he was talking about serving the music. That is my favorite thing about Gavin Harrison, nothing ever seems out of place, it's never about him... I don't believe he even likes drum solos. It's always all about the song. For me, he creates a delightful tension in the music the keeps you comfortably on the edge of your seat. Does that make sense? The two biggest compliments I can pay him are 1) I never imagine anyone else playing his drum parts (although there are some good covers out there), and 2) he was apparently one of the aforementioned Neil Peart's favorite drummers.
Neil Pert wrote a long (and generous) forward to Gavins book "Rhythmic Illusions". He had a deep admiration for Gavins approach to the drums. He said something along the lines of "If I could play that way, that is the way I would play." Truly remarkable. Gavins approach and philosophy towards music could benefit any musician, no matter the instrument. As a side note, I'm going to meet him and watch him play two nights next weekend.. I'll be a kid in a candy store :)
@@meters_and_madness As usual, I know half of the story. I knew it was cool that Neil was a admirer but the whole story is about a thousand times cooler. I am not a musician, just a lover of the drums. Could I possibly get anything out of that book?
@@timhilton7254 As an admirer, but non-player of the drums, I couldn't say how much you would get out of the books. They are deep dives into advanced exercises in metric modulations, displacements, overrides, odd subdivisions, etc.. I would recommend more his DVD's (Rhythmic Horizons and Rhythmic Visions) where he demonstrates concepts from the books, but also has tons of improv and showcasing the ideas in a musical context. There is also a Book / DVD combo called "Rhythmic Designs" that you might appreciate. It is a breakdown and explanation of every song from his albums with 05ric, which contains some of the most creative, interesting, and musical drum parts I have ever heard.
If you're looking for more Gavin in the future I'd heartily suggest his playthrough of White Mist by Pineapple Theif or Indiscipline by King Crimson for the TRIPLE drummer experience. King Crimson are known to be blockers though, which is a shame.
Andrew, great reaction as always. Gavin is truly the GOAT (at least for me). May I ask you, when you have the time & interest, to have a look at another PT song "What Happens Now" (LIVE) from the same 2008 Tilburg concert. I believe you will be completely amazed even further how insanely talented this band is.
Now look what you've done ! I've heard of them but never listened to them. Just ordered the cd of this album .. Heck they've got 10 albums to get through!! And yes I did say cd ,Im old !! Peace and love brother 👍🏻☮❤
I am so jealous that you have so much brand new awesomeness to get into. It really doesn’t get any better than Porcupine Tree. They have redefined musical standards for me!
@@robertnshine I heard Floyd , Marillion even Talk talk in this song . That's a good thing to me. I like the fact they have feeling ... there are lots of newer prog groups around that have great technical ability and virtuosity bit no soul . I'm looking forward to delving into new territory .. Peace and love brother 👍🏻☮❤
@@springy-2112 I’ve been stuck down the Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson rabbit hole for a couple of years now. They have a fantastic back catalogue. You have to check out Steven Wilson’s (lead singer/guitar) personal output too. Can particularly recommend the albums ‘Hand. Cannot. Erase.’ & ‘The Raven That Refused To Sing’. I have tickets to see PT at Wembley in November. They’ve just reformed after a 10 year hiatus and the Wembley gig could be their very last ever. I’m 55 years old and have never looked forward to a gig so much in my entire life!!!
@@robertnshine Ha , I am 55 also and need new music .. all my favourite bands have either retired , gone weird , died or have no original members but still tour !! .. 👍🏻😀
Glad you stopped to point out the "Pocket". My number 1 requirement of a drummer that I play with is pocket and feel (add listening to that). Gavin's dynamics and groove are at the highest level. Plus chops galore and such clean attack makes everything he does a clinic and most importantly is done in service to the song. Love your reactions and break downs.
And here I thought you'd done this one already.... This track, this entire gig, is everything about what makes Gavin Harrison, and Porcupine Tree, so utterly amazing. The variations in pitch and tone and timing and flair and subtlety that flow through this tune are mesmerising. So glad you've finally gotten to experience this...now go listen again. And again. It just keeps getting better! 🤘
Had to spend a couple.of days in the hospital with coronary issues. Watching your uploads the past couple of days and livestream made the time pass with ease. One of the nurses caught an eye of what I was watching and is a drummer! You have another subscriber now. Thanks for making my stay less dramatic. Rock on brother
Just love it, Gavin is just my religion when we talk about drums hahaha. But I'm waiting for your reaction to "Bonnie The Cat" from Gavin, is just mindblowing. Tks Andrew for the video!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums I’m sure it will be! I only got into Porcupine Tree after they split up. So excited to be seeing them in December. Seen Pineapple Thief a bunch of times though and have a used (and signed) Gavin snare head on the wall of my studio.
Always a treasure to find a Porcupine Tree I didn’t knew before. Going to see the Master(s) in October. Already the best show this year. Keep on Rocking Andrew \m/
Have been at the concert ( about a week ago ). Had a greet spot where I could see Gavin playing ( no screens ). They played a good 2,5 hours wich you dont see a lot these days. Was amazing to see him play. The ghost notes, the little bells, backbeat all of it.Thanks for teaching this guitar guy a thing or 2 on drumming Andrew.
I've been a fan of Gavin for nearly 20 years. I was able to meet him and see him live for the first time around a month ago. I literally started crying from joy and disbelief while watching him play. The last time I felt like that was 12 years ago when I saw Buckethead live in Alabama.
Over the last 20 years. Everything Gavin touches turns to absolute gold. Porcupine Tree at the start was a great band but reached an entire new level of sound and dynamics when Gavin joined. Same was the case for Pineapple Thief in my opinion. The new album is also sounding great from what I've heard so far.. I can watch Porcupine Tree's live in Chicago DVD over and over and over. Such a phenomenal band and I have to say that I also love what Jon Wesley brought to band during those tours and also the background videos by Lasse Hoile.. All top notch. Cheers!!
I'll never accuse anyone of overplaying as long as a few elements are at play. In no particular order...does it fit the song, does it accompany the other band/group member's abilities and, & I'm sure there's other points, can the drummer actually play what/how they're attempting to. Wonderful group & great reaction video! 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼
Oh my g.. you find new levels of extravagant comedy... ;-) (but it was funny) =) Good video - the level of control in the first bars of drumming - wow!
Gavin's awesome. So musical. I've seen video's and interviews where he explains his approach and how he always tries to find the right part for the song. His Drumeo session is cool for those who haven't seen it.
Will be lucky enough to see Gavin three times in a calendar year… w/ King Crimson, Pineapple Thief, and Porcupine Tree next September in Boston! So lucky!
A lot of drummers just play the drums, but Gavin understands that each hit is part of a phrase which is part of a statement. Every combination of hits is saying something and never falls into redundancy, like good grammar.
I love the tone of the drums in this mix. Just the right amount of pop and bruh taht sequence hes doing at like 10:38 - dude is like a death metal drummer
I don't think you've covered Nicholas Barker on the channel, but I haven't double-checked. He's a legendary Metal drummer. He has drummed for Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Brujeria, and others. His most impressive work in my opinion is his drumming on the 2001 and 2003 albums from Dimmu Borgir, but there aren't many good drum cam videos of him (to my knowledge). His speed, precision and fills are incredible. Songs I suggest are "Indoctrination" by Dimmu Borgir", and "For the World to Dictate Our Death" by Dimmu Borgir.
Since you are also a fan of Gavin Harrison: There's a new video of the Porcupine Tree song "Harridan" on RUclips. It's taken from the new live DVD. Take a look at it. 😊
Great playing from Gavin as usual. Andrew, if you get chance there's a video of Mike Portnoy doing the drums to Constant Motion, I highly recommend checking it out.
Hi Andrew, I love listening to Gavin too and I'll add something to your description of his playing, he has swing. Proper, old fashioned swing, it doesn't matter what he's playing there's always swing in there. Ginger Baker would have approved.
Hey Andrew! I don't know if anyone suggested it yet, but you absolutley should check Troy Wright playing Animals as Leaders 'Physical Education'. You won't regret a single bit of it, I promise!
This album was my go-to during the "angsty emo high school phase" One of those times where you don't realize the intellect/maturity of Gavin's playing (or Wilson's songwriting) until quite a few years later.
Mark the coffee guy must be from my neck of the woods since Community Coffee is roasted & packaged right up the road from me, here in Louisiana. If so, then...Bonjour, neighbor! Community Coffee is definitely the best, and I bring a bag with me every time I travel anywhere that it is not available.
i am originally from Ohio. was working out of HubCity Lafayette LA in the early 90’s and got addicted to the TradDarkRoast . I moved back to Ohio after the 1st Gulf War ended and tanked drilling in the GOM. Thanks to the interwebs , I don’t have to send my LA friends money to get my CC fix
Oh coarse Gavin’s brilliance in every song. If you do get a chance to see Steven Wilson even doing solo stuff. Go, the musicians he surrounds himself are second to none.
This is the best I have ever heard from a drummer. The band itself was in rarified air with this song. Timing was incrediable. Execution was just totally brutal. The video was awesome as well, capturing the audience reactions. The ending with the special effects train steam sound was perfect.
Albeit the incredible drumming by Gavin, please take a moment to appreciate the amazing song writing abilities by Steven Wilson. This song like many others by him is pure gold.
He maxed out at the end with those off-time polyrhythms. And well he should max out with that type of exit from the world of experience into the world of perfect forms.
Just saw him with The Pineapple Thief in Cleveland,Ohio last week in a very intimate setting at the House of Blues. Gavin was on his game as always and looking forward to seeing him again in September in Washington,D.C. and hearing the new album and the old tunes. Yeehaw!
"Is it overplaying or under-executing?" Andrew, that is honestly a profound and thought-provoking question. I'm going to keep it in mind for my own playing. But I don't think it pertains to Gavin Harrison; he seems capable of executing at such a high level that even his mistakes would be musical.

It was destiny 💜
They weren't even sure he could play hard rock and metal. Then he played Blackest Eyes and they were sure.
Thanks for sharing! Do you know if the documentary is available online?
Please tell where can i find the documentary?
No shit huh? I was just contemplating what vetting process Steven went through to lock him in as a drummer, long term. Sometimes it's all who you know.
Gavin is the GOAT and PT are a top 10 band ever. Breathtaking as ever.
100% David
One of the greatest bands all time! They helped me get through a lot of tough times during my life. I will always be grateful for their art.
That's amazing Nathan!!!
Great to hear
That album got me through a tough time and it why I fell in love with PT

AGREE!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums it was discovery to me when I have found out that Gavin played drums on famous 90's song Stop by Sam Brown
He's a requirement to any PT music
My favorite Porcupine Tree song, and what a great drumming from Gavin Harrison. Absolutely amazing!
Insanity
One of my favorites too

This, like so many of Wilsons material, is a horrorstory tied to reality.
The "In Absentia" album is better than reading any book. The storytelling is supreme!
@@ReefahCheef But is it a cohesive story? I mean, if each song follows the last one story-wise.
@@santiagoimbachi6381 perhaps the lack of cohesiveness implies the protagonist's state of mind...
I bet she was listening to trains
Porcupine Tree and Pineapple Thief (PT and PT :D) are the most luckiest bands on the planet because they have Gavin Harrison.
I just, in the past couple months, learned who Porcupine Tree is. Phenomenal band and Gavin is a superb drummer/percussionist! 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼
He's the MAN
Best touring drummer at this time
Love this track, and this entire concert. Thanks for backing up after the second stop to regain the flow into the chorus there. I'm always impressed that the band retains such rock-solid time in that outro section where Gavin is really playing around with the meter. I *think* they have a click given that their visuals are closely synchronized with the music.
Super impressive as always Mike!
Just Gavin, allways a pleasure, i'll love to see your reaction to Slipping Away from Mr. Harrison. Saludos desde Argentina Andrew
Finally the love this song deserves! Absolutely genius playing by Gavin and those vocals by Wesley gets me everytime! Sheer brilliance.
Gavin Harrison day is always a good day, I’m in hospital after a procedure and this will do me just fine! Thanks Andrew!
Speedy recovery!
Man!! For me it's Gavin and Porcupine Tree.. Epic!!
Sooooo good
1st chuckle - "Mansplaining", 2nd chuckle - "7 minutes 55, that's a long one".
Like many my age, I fell in love with the drums in the 1980s because of Neil Peart. I discovered Gavin Harrison a little more than a year ago and he has changed the way I listen to the instrument. Precision, musicality, timing, pocket, groove and restraint... those are now my measuring sticks.

"Breathtaking" is right - phenomenal.
It's a cheesy description for me. But it takes your breath away!
Gavin is literally the best living drummer. Period. No debating. Cannot wait for the fall PT tour!!
Killer Porcupine Tree. Gavin is so amazing and such a pleasure to watch.
One of my fav tracks in this concert. There are so many of them that you could react to! Cheating the Polygraph from the same show could be one...
Sir Gavin Harrison... as requested by Lord Mark Kopan
If you're looking for more Gavin in the future I'd heartily suggest his playthrough of White Mist by Pineapple Theif or Indiscipline by King Crimson for the TRIPLE drummer experience.
King Crimson are known to be blockers though, which is a shame.
Could literally listen to Gavin drum 24 hours a day.
There's a reason the guy is playing for King Crimson. Gavin Harrison and Marco Minnemann are just crazy drummers.
Yes Chris!

Porcupine Tree live is a must see! I don't play instruments but I can appreciate his virtuosity! Incredible!

Mastery of tension.. build… release… rinse , repeat.
BOOM!!!
God needed a symphonic metronome, and so created Gavin Harison.
If I had to summarize Gavins style in one word.. it would be: tasty!
Well, now it's time to check out Gavin's aerobics on Anesthetize.
I've done it!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Ancestral is another great Steven Wilson creation, but the drummer is Marco Minnemann. Another technical drummer.
Époustouflant....top level
🙌
Beautiful melodies ♥️🎶🎼🎵
Gavin is the GOAT
Hard to argue.
A lot of drummers just play the drums, but Gavin understands that each hit is part of a phrase which is part of a statement. Every combination of hits is saying something and never falls into redundancy, like good grammar.
Check out Gavin Harrison playing AWB, “Pick Up The Pieces”, live at Zildjan 400.
Gavin actually once told me I was a good drummer. I quit after that, figuring I had probably peaked.
HAHA
This guy is unbelievable. He can seemingly do anything on drums. He's right up there with Peart and maybe better.
Thank you oh great one for the spinal tap clip. Mr Harrison is "crap yer pants " good.
Yup. He's an alien!
I love the tone of the drums in this mix. Just the right amount of pop
and bruh taht sequence hes doing at like 10:38 - dude is like a death metal drummer
I missed one on your last live, Larnell Lewis, another great one I think you should check out.
I've done a few vids on him Jeff!
My mistake guess I need to look at your history a bit. Thnx👍👍
Need more Gavin Harrison!
Fun fact they all control thier volume controls and are all independant of the other.
I don't think you've covered Nicholas Barker on the channel, but I haven't double-checked. He's a legendary Metal drummer. He has drummed for Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Brujeria, and others. His most impressive work in my opinion is his drumming on the 2001 and 2003 albums from Dimmu Borgir, but there aren't many good drum cam videos of him (to my knowledge). His speed, precision and fills are incredible. Songs I suggest are "Indoctrination" by Dimmu Borgir", and "For the World to Dictate Our Death" by Dimmu Borgir.
Cradle of Filth... Man it has been some time since I thought of them.. barker was a thief of breath.
Since you are also a fan of Gavin Harrison: There's a new video of the Porcupine Tree song "Harridan" on RUclips. It's taken from the new live DVD. Take a look at it. 😊
I WAITED THIS SINCE LONG TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I need to see them at their own gig. I’ve only ever seen the tree at a festival.
Gavin learned his craft by being a BBC session drummer in his TEENS having to play/sight read just about every style of music.
Damn, what a great song.
Marco and Gavin both played for Steven and also Guthrie … maybe you should check more Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson.
Great playing from Gavin as usual. Andrew, if you get chance there's a video of Mike Portnoy doing the drums to Constant Motion, I highly recommend checking it out.
Gavin is 1 of a kind. No way to match his vision of drumming.
Something is wrong with the PT-video's audio....(otherwise amazing critique Andrew - subbed :)
Oh no! What is wrong with the audio!?
Hi Andrew, I love listening to Gavin too and I'll add something to your description of his playing, he has swing. Proper, old fashioned swing, it doesn't matter what he's playing there's always swing in there. Ginger Baker would have approved.
" I don't want to pee in your pocket"... is that a common phrase in NZ? I've ever heard that
HAHA. Must be :)
November Oberhausen!
Hey Andrew! I don't know if anyone suggested it yet, but you absolutley should check Troy Wright playing Animals as Leaders 'Physical Education'. You won't regret a single bit of it, I promise!
Thanks Artem!!
This album was my go-to during the "angsty emo high school phase" One of those times where you don't realize the intellect/maturity of Gavin's playing (or Wilson's songwriting) until quite a few years later.
Mark the coffee guy must be from my neck of the woods since Community Coffee is roasted & packaged right up the road from me, here in Louisiana. If so, then...Bonjour, neighbor!
Community Coffee is definitely the best, and I bring a bag with me every time I travel anywhere that it is not available.
Yes. He sent a heap of it.
Delicious!
i am originally from Ohio. was working out of HubCity Lafayette LA in the early 90’s and got addicted to the TradDarkRoast . I moved back to Ohio after the 1st Gulf War ended and tanked drilling in the GOM. Thanks to the interwebs , I don’t have to send my LA friends money to get my CC fix
King Crimson vibes.👌❤
Yes Rolf!
Not all bad ass drummers can be in a band likePorcupine Tree. That is my dream.
Oh coarse Gavin’s brilliance in every song. If you do get a chance to see Steven Wilson even doing solo stuff. Go, the musicians he surrounds himself are second to none.
Gavin is an absolute craftsman on the drums. Apparently Porcupine Tree are returning with a new album, fingers and toes crossed.....
It's due out in the next couple of weeks. They are also touring Europe and the US later this year.
This is the best I have ever heard from a drummer. The band itself was in rarified air with this song. Timing was incrediable. Execution was just totally brutal. The video was awesome as well, capturing the audience reactions. The ending with the special effects train steam sound was perfect.
Funny, the whole time that Dream Theater was looking for a replacement for Portnoy, I kept thinking, Dave DiCenso, Zonder, Jarzombek, or Harrison
Albeit the incredible drumming by Gavin, please take a moment to appreciate the amazing song writing abilities by Steven Wilson. This song like many others by him is pure gold.
He maxed out at the end with those off-time polyrhythms. And well he should max out with that type of exit from the world of experience into the world of perfect forms.
The whole DVD is 😳
Just saw him with The Pineapple Thief in Cleveland,Ohio last week in a very intimate setting at the House of Blues. Gavin was on his game as always and looking forward to seeing him again in September in Washington,D.C. and hearing the new album and the old tunes. Yeehaw!
I'm jealous!
Have you seen Danny Carey ,with RUSH ? just posted ,what an awesome player.
Check out Gavin Harrison “Cymbal Song”. One song just from cymbals. He will blow you away again!
"Is it overplaying or under-executing?" Andrew, that is honestly a profound and thought-provoking question. I'm going to keep it in mind for my own playing. But I don't think it pertains to Gavin Harrison; he seems capable of executing at such a high level that even his mistakes would be musical.
Guys like Vinnie and Gavin prove the point! They can play anything 🤯
