Gavin Harrison's drumming is very "high resolution"... As you look closer and closer, more and more detail emerges. Absolutely brilliant drummer.
Better than the best. Bet.
Like he’s weaving a layered painting …
The reason I think he is the best and what puts him over the top is how perfectly accurate and crispy he is.
He's very sharp....just like the late Mr Peart@@gagelindell271
@@peterream9437 Exactly!
Man he is a legend.. the most impressive thing about him is that he is not repetitive. His creativity is on another level.
and i cant beileve he remembers all the subtle variations for the different songs and... I cant remember where i keep my keys for five minutes.
for real, the hardest part of coming up with parts is remembering it all lol, I should really get back into reading music, that'd probably help
Gavin actually improvises a lot in his playing. If you watch two different versions of the same song live, you'il notice. Check it out!
No 3 bars are exactly the same
Of course they are. If they weren't which was the meaning of composing drum parts? I only said that when he plays live he doesn´t play the exact same way everytime.
I love when he does ascending fills
That’s one of my favourite things about his use of toms, so tasty!!!
Yeah ever since Gavin I can't stop doing those when I'm playing.
Those are soo good! He calls them "curls"
Check out Blake Richardson of BTBAM. He does these amazing fills that descend to second floor tom and all the way back to the snare. A bit heavier and weirder music though.
RIIIGHHHT
Watched pineapple thief in Paris last month. It was the first time I saw the audience shouting a drummer's name more than any other member of a band.
So good. He literally bridges the gap between Porcupine Tree and Pineapple Thief. The two PTs that make me smile!
YES!!
porcupineapple tree thief
There aren't a lot of drummers that I could just watch for hours at a time like this. And coming from a guitarist, that says something. Gavin is just a truly inspirational player.
Truly inspirational
I´m in the same exact position he's on another level too much detail and never is repeating on something cheers from Costa Rica
Even the hardware is grooving
stare Sam I thought I was the only one :)
The left camera too
stare Sam one of the best comments.....EVER!
This man is in a leaque of his own.
Groove, phrazing, timing and feel are mindblowing.
He just plays music.
I swear, I could watch Gavin play all day... such a groovy, unique, clean and ultimately inspiring drummer!! Thanks to Vic Firth for the upload!
Gavin is a very tasty drummer. Awesome technique!
Julien Bendel You must not have a job.
Me too...I actually have...no shower, no getting outside...just beers and Gavin....what else do you need?? lol
He was always in control, always in control of this.
Simply the most talented prog rock drummer in the world. It is just terrific!
Great Jazz Drummer as well..
Gavin Harrison is like Connor McDavid in hockey, but in DDR era steroids.
He’s a human fractal generator. You can just keep zooming in and a million new things keep emerging. Most refined drummer of our generation.
Such an underrated drummer. People who enjoy prog rock or are drummers themselves usually know of this masterful man, but the mainstream doesn't.
Good. Don't give him to mainstream. They'll ruin him.
@@PeytonDrums05 nah, Gavin can't be ruined. Has way too much musical personality to be able to suppress or "control"
Mainstream doesn't deserve him.
Gavin is a musicians musician, like the rest of Porcupine Tree’s alumni. The only people I tell about Gavin are my three other friends who are in to prog rock
I don’t think anyone whose ever heard him underrates him. He’s one of the most respected drummers in the world, particularly among drummers.
Is Gavin Harrison one of the best modern drummers? I think so
DEF !!!!!!
Definitely up there.
Yes..There are few drummers that compose their parts with such detail.
Marco minnimann...chad wackermann...gavin.
Shantanu Singha
Yes and Mario Duplantier, Matt Garstka and especially Baard Kolstad.
He is literally the best drummer of our time
Gavin is not only overflowing with chops, but he’s also extremely musical. A rare mix. And, his playing is just full of surprises ! He never gets boring, ever. One of my favorite players.
Gavin's musicality on drums - incorporating the songs melody into his fills - is unrivaled.
One of the best and most complete drummers of our time
He’s one of Simon Philips’ favorite drummers. Say no more.
I call him the surgeon of the drumming world. So clean, so creative, so groovy...
One of most musical drummers ever
I would not enjoy my surgeon to be creative though
@@jimitsos6 Maybe not groovy either, but that depends
Yes and as it is with most surgeons, they have no or hardly any emotion or feeling. He is a cold player and seems quite weak, and of course most drummer like this have insecurity complexes and always seem to have something to prove with all the fancy fills they try to fit in. It has nothing to do with the music but rather feeding their own Ego. Read my book, you'll find it in the brain entrainment column on Amazon. It's called The Radio Mind by Lawrence Mailbrook & Rob Chaser. It's very good and teaches all about Narcissistic types like GH.
PERFECTLY SAID!!
IMHO he is the best drummer of all times. It's not just about drum technique (watch the final double stroke again, again, again, again, whatch those moeller on the snare, watch those flams, etc), it's about sound quality, musicality, groove design, music innovation, execution style. Perfect for your ears and your eyes. He is Gavin Harrison.
well said.
I take it you quite like him then
listen to some Bill Bruford, Brand X Phil Collins, Billy Cobham and Steve Gadd
Surgical precision 💖
Your comment reminded on the Queensryche song Surgical Strike, of which drummer Scott Rockenfield is also the phenomenal musician. :)
There's no way he could have made this song any tastier, absolutely brilliant
I love the comment section in any Gavin Harrison song I see because it confirms the amazement I have with his work. Truly inspirational.
Same here
Gavin is from another planet!
This guy is just something else... His playing just sounds so musical and smooth. And those ghost notes are to die for!
Never know where he is going and every turn is brilliant!!
Gavin said in another video "technique impresses him, but doesn't move him. His playing here moves you. Such grace and style.
Edit after 24 hours and watching this video several times. I'll start with I am not a drummer so bear with me. There are three distinct sections here, roughly put, the opening, the middle ambient section, and the closing. The opening is strong and pulls you into the song with a grooving hard beat. The ambient section is reminiscent of Phil Collins but way beyond Collins in phrasing. The mood set by the tone of his drums is other worldly. You could drop all the other instruments and never lose the song through out the middle section because his phrasing and tone is so melodic. Post ambient section he starts grooving, and what a fricken ride. There is so much going on but you never feel out of sync with him and the fills are incredibly creative, not a simple tom roll or such but massive snare and cymbal runs that float over the beat. This is so slick you need a cigarette and a shower after watching this. Seriously impressive on all levels.
Nice fucking comment
I hope this helps build The Pineapple Theifs fanbase... such a good band
Yeap, they got me! I'm a new fan!
it did. I hate the old tracks but praise the new because gavin’s drumming is just too good
Their first album is great, i would recommend listening to it
St1ff Thieves*
Oh it definitely did.
That snare sounds incredible
Darren Williams I believe it’s the Gavin Harrison signature by Sonor, called the “Protean”.
I want one regardless LOL
Worth every penny of its 600$ price tag
You're right ! I wonder if this is the Remo Emperor drumhead ?
DriverRockerGui coated controlled sound.
Gavin has rejuvenated an aging The Pineapple Thief. These are good times.
Probably one of the most musical drummers of all time.
Gavin Harrison,excelente demostración de como tocar batería,gracias por compartir con quienes nos gusta este instrumento,para mi entre los mejores bateristas del mundo.Gavin Harrison, excellent demonstration of how to play drums, thanks for sharing with those of us who like this instrument, for me one of the best drummers in the world.
I could see Gavin playing all day long. His drumming style is so fluid, clean and elegant that watch him playing is kind of hypnotizing.
It is always an absolute pleasure to watch this artist in awe. I have never experienced such an incredibly ingenious symbiosis of power and culture. I love his style.
Yes, Gavin!
This song sounds great too. I'm waiting for the full record. Jus one week left. Thanks Kscope for work with these amazing bands.
I love this guy. Unique voice. Very creative. Usually his drum tracks are quite busy
but NEVER overplays. I have immense respect for his work. A class act on his own.
He 's a TECHNICIAN on the drums and makes it look SO easy. I can tell you as a seasoned drummer he is absolutely one of the BEST drummers to live
I literally keep coming back to this video and it just makes me so happy. Gavin is an inspiration. What a joy to watch his playing.
l'm one of the 100 zillion people who play guitar, above whom there are plenty who have set the technique/chops bar somewhere on Mt.Olympus, but ever since he joined Porcupine Tree in 2002...this is the guy l turn to for sheer inspiration. l listen to & study other high caliber drummers, but Gavin Harrison is in a league all his own. Surely the musicians he supports have to be incredibly thankful, if not humbled, being able to play on the same stage with him. You're a very fortunate man, Bruce.
Greg Williams I’ve been fortunate to see Gavin play twice. Once with Pineapple Thief and at a drum clinic with 100 people. He’s an articulate, down to earth guy. As a drummer myself, I have much respect for his gifts of musical talents.
C Al...you've been fortunate indeed. Seeing Gavin Harrison perform live is at the top of my bucket list.
I play guitar too and Gavin is such a creative, genius force .. I'd love to see him and Guthrie Govan form a supergroup!
Right, Rob...Guthrie & Gavin's musical genius operates at the same frequency. lf GH would have played on "The Raven That Refused To Sing" project, you'd have had your wish (although Marco Minnemann did play surreal, monster drums on that album). l think what l appreciate most about Gavin is that he's presented with a song & manages to contribute nothing but perfect ideas to it. He possesses a song...in the best way.
I grew up with Bill Bruford, then came Jeff Porcaro. And now Gavin Harrison. Drummers who groove like no-one else. Make music with their drums. So much to discover in their way off playing.
And Gavin does it again! Everytime I hear him playing I want to continue all day listening his technique
In four and a half minutes is the whole rhythm "philosophy" with precision, devotion and grooving technical diversity at the highest level. The groove artist Mr. Harrison makes the rhythm alive, much more he makes it alone sound like MUSIC. Incredible!
The greatest drummer alive atm, uncomparable technique
agree!
You must had never heard of Tomas Haake or Mike Portnoy nor Mario Duplantier
Lol i was waiting for that comment. To each his own mate, i could agree with portnoy, haake is good for meshuggah type blastbeats and shit and duplantier.. well lets not kid ourselves, i like gojira up to the last album but there are far better drummers than him
Mookie Yomu there are many drummers that spank the hell out of all you just listed. Gavin is better than all of them by a long shot. Check out Akira Jimbo metamorphosis to really get your shit rocked...
And you need to shut the fuck up. I told myself i was going to be civilised, but i have a tendency to dislike condecending comments. As if you're inside my stereo and you know what kind of music i listen to.
What I love is he PLAYS the drums, he doesn't just play a beat... he is just amazingly talented.
Incredible tone, taste, touch, creativity: he can do no wrong by me. And still sounding fresh 15 years after I discovered him!
Long live Gavin Harrison!!
Gavin is one of the top ten in the planet! Clean, fast, armonic, melodic, tecnical and hit when he needs to hit! Him and Dave Weckl are the all around beast drummers!
One of my favorite modern drummers............... Benny Grebb, Thomas Lang.......... so many great talents.
Form 1:20 to 1:40... wow, fantastic, such a pleasure to listen to it, again and again...
Simply the best drummer in the whole world. Sound, drumming, fills.. all it's perfect
One of the best Drummer in the World.Perfect Play!
I’ve watched this clip 20-30 times over the last couple of weeks... just watching how well Gavin plays those drums, how good his drums sound and the general buildup in the song... incredible!
Gavin may be the best drummer working today. His creativitey, use of displacement and technical precision is amazing.
Gavin Harrison the genius of the drums👏👏👏👍😎
Holy shit, this man never ceases to impress and amaze me. He makes it look so easy as well.
this man is a god. ..my god look at those patterns and movements, It's pure magic watching and hearing him play, and he makes it look like it doesn't take him any effort at all.
Always a blast to watch Gavin play. Every motion he makes is borderline effortless a his touch is so consistent yet natural. Looking forward to this album!
I love Gavin. Went from one GREAT PT to another! GO PINEAPPLE THIEF
So far I watched him 15 times live.
13 times with porcupine tree
1 time was a clinic in Hanover Germany
Last time with the pineapple thief.
My drum hero beside Simon Phillips and Vinnie
It blows my mind how easy it is to feel what he's playing but to play that on drums must take most people a life time
The man is legendary. And the new Pineapple Thief album is excellent. Thank you to Vic Firth for posting this awesome video!!
The complete withe mist are aprox 11 minutes, and is a masterpiece
He is sssssssooooooo good and makes it look sssssoooooo easy!!!.....it just flows out of him effortlessly
be honest, you just hit the replay button
Several times, mate!!
yep lol
Gavin is not only a technical and creative maniac. He also always "right" on how apply fills and how build a drum composition. He is on top of the drumming foodchain.
melody - drum melody - it's not just an assertion of his - it's real.
I'am absolutely speechless.
This guy and his Drumsound und is amazing . 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It is exhilarating watching a master perform at his best.
Gavin Harrison produces amnesia. You can easily forget about past and present drummers in his genre. While you listen to this you don´t think or even remember Bonzo, Peart, Carey, Gadd, Porcaro, Moon etc. you name it. One makes silence and listens.
And then you click again to replay and replay again because you do not believe this is so f... good.
Rock solid playing as always. A delight to watch him play. Awesome :)
It's a joy to recognize his architectural perspective on drumming.
You can literally see how he's enjoying to search every time for the perfect fitting embellishment to serve the music.
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....not over or underplayed but perfect...listen to it with your eyes closed and follow those time changes and articulations....beautiful!!!!!
Brandon Kain he amazingly grooves back and forth between them effortlessly. I haven’t broken them down yet, and I almost feel it’s blasphemy to do so before the first 10 listens, as your mind just wants to take it all in first :)
The guy transforms something "simple" in something extremely beautiful and well thought... Is one of the best drummers, no doubt!
He's not human, makes no sense! Beyond amazing skills!
Though it is difficult to select the best (insert profession/skill/talent) of all time, I personally wouldn't hesitate to name this man as the best drummer.
Precision, technique, creativity, musicality, power... He simply has it all.
Gavin Harrison Midas! Every note he plays is pure gold.
This is definitely my favorite song by Pineapple Thief I've heard yet! Gavin's ability to write such perfectly fitting grooves and fills is even more impressive than his amazing chops. Every single drum hit and cymbal hit is exactly where it needs to be and serves a purpose. Simply mind blowing!
I love this song! Damn! Gavin never fails to impress and his kit always sounds amazing, those toms are so melodic and perfectly tuned
Goosebumps all over, what an insane magician.
Those drums are singing a whole different song! Gavin did it again! Great inspiration from you sir!
Another stunning performance from GH.
Crisp snare, tight kick, 5 perfectly tuned toms, wonderful cymbal colors, and an amazing command of 4 limbs. Well done GH.
Tasty chops and rock solid playing as always
I like Gavin's style - he plays with feeling without redundant fills, simple. His drumming completes the piece perfectly.
Pure. Glass. Never a beat out of place, so tasteful and effortless...thank you Gavin 💥👌🏻🥁🎖
Not sure “effortless” does it justice.
There is probably only one way to get this good.
He must have worked his ass of for many years.
his talent is his commitment to his passion.
extraordinary and so damn beautiful to watch... incredible drummer, can´t wait to see him live for the very first time ... 2 weeks to go.
beagledebby I’m sure you’re going to enjoy every minute, I know I did.
i bet i will. :)
What blows my mind isn't as much the fact that he's able to do it, it's the fact that he makes it look so easy. Dennis Chambers is another prime example, as is Baard Kolstad from Leprous.... he's a power drummer that has such control, finesse and musicality that he uses the COMPLETE drumkit, and it's tuned impeccably. White Mist, like most Pineapple, is pretty unassuming, but Gavin's perfect percussion section for the track is what brings it alive. He does so many things that are lowkey and subtle, but are in fact plain difficult to do... especially with such EASE god damn Gavin you're the man
It’s still so hard to believe that he is 56 years old in 2019.
Yeah he doesnt seem to age. Just like Steven Wilson who is also over 50. Playing good music keep you fresh haha
I suppose this Is a joke
I guess if you’re quite young 56 sounds old. It’s not.
@@francescosetragno7601 what's supposed to be a joke? Look at him... almost look like an early 30-ager. This dude is the Dorian Gray of drumming: only the drums kit ages for him.
damn I thought he's max 45
This is my most frequently replayed video for all my RUclips history
I just can’t get enough of this
Not that there's a need to compare, but I find the control displayed here much more satisfying than Matt Garska's style of continually going as mental as he possibly can. This has greater longevity for the listener.
Yeah, there’s no need to compare. I prefer Matt Garstka but I appreciate Gavin’s playing a lot
"This has greater longevity for the listener." Love that
There is not just no need, there also is not a possibility to compare those two. What you would compare is maybe - we are generous - 10% of Gavins whole skillset with 100% of Matt Garska. Is Matt a good drummer? Yes, but Gavin is just sooooooo freaking far ahead of what Matt is capable off it's unreal.
@@GroovingDrums I disagree and Matt is half Gavins age
Garstka's style also fits AAL well, and you pretty much need to go full apeshit mode all the time to keep up with the 8-string sonic bombarding onslaught of the guitars.
Holy shit !! He never repeats a fill or does the same thing twice ! So incredibly clean. What a technician. Thx for sharing !
Wow, Gavin is definitely in a whole different level! Great job VicFirth. Thanks for sharing this amazing performance!
There are great drummers and then there’s Gavin who to me a a musical genius his style along with his dynamics technique and playing skills along his incredible sounding Sonor kit and cymbal work is truly an Art of its own I love his playing I can’t get enough of any drummer that is in a world of their own
Ive been lucky to see alot of good drummers.
THIS guy one of the best all the way around..
Those VF sticks hit the drumhead in the same spot consistently. Amazing control. The highest level of consistency and so relevant.
Spectacular Gavin, I love watching him playing. He is just soooo good!
those drums are so well composed wow, i love how he's not overchopping instead letting the music come together and assisting the music with the drums
very clean.
I think every Musician would love to have him as a drummer :)
the thing i love about his playing is that i never felt the need to understand what time he's playing. I don't wanna him to explain me that it was a 11/16 or 13/8. I just press play and enjoy his musicality. He totally serves the music. When i listen to Gavin Harrison i just forget i'm a drummer
He's just so pleasant to listen,melodic and just filled the song not overplayed...one of a kind drummer!
Gavin hypnotized me just one more time
Gavin has got it all!! He’s a consummate pro, drummer, composer! And he’s a sound gentleman. There are a lot of cocky musicians out there and he definitely isn’t one of them.
Fav. drummer ever!
