This is fantastic: Two drummers from two generations and totally different musical upbringings. But you can hear that they really listen to each other in this double solo. Each one give the other space to show their chops and each one really listens and reacts to the other one. This should be a pleasure even for non-drummers!
Gavin's older than he looks, only 6 years between them
@@MH89002 yes and he knows Simon since they were kids (from the same quartier in London)
Sure it does. I’m not a drummer but i do love to listen and watch these two mastodonts at work! ❤
Different ages and different roots, but both are great drummers.
Simons father (big band leader) was kind of the boss on some time of Gavins father (trompet player)... if i remeber correctly. The roots are not that different. But the musical journeys are different. :-)
2 TOP KNOTCH BRITISH DRUMMERS THERE!!! GREAT STUFF!!!!
It's like a conversation without words but you understand everything
Two of the greatest drummers alive!
Absolutely!
Not even close. Thomas lang would annihilate them both
i find this kind of videos more inspiring and enjoyable, than the look-how-fast-i-can-play non sense shed videos where 3-4 guys come together.. where is the taste man where is the feeling... thats why %90 of them sound no different than the other.... true masters like gavin and simon will always stand out!!!
yeah, music not sportevents!
Yeah people usually like watch what they can comprehend.
Totally agree!
This is the most abstract drumming I've ever heard. I fucking love it!
Absolutely 2 incredible players .. but when they do their "together" parts ... man, they are so tight it's almost like one player!
I can't describe how amazing this is. Gavin Harrison impresses me every time I hear him play. One day I'll be like him. ONE DAY
Work hard and you'll get there.
🤣
🤣
The same can be said for Simon Phillips!
@Ben Riegel open handed is actually a great advantage! A lot of cross stick players are more limited or maybe put it that way: more complicated for them to expand over the kit. I wish I was an opened handed drummer.
This was so incredible, you see two unbelievable musical masterminds at work. It's intriguing to see them play of each other's playing and not choking or replicating it. Like when Simon was playing his big low boomy Tom's Gavin played in between the notes with his high tuned Tom's and hihat. Simply stunning to watch these to together.
Yeahhh!!!!! Chester and Phil updated - awesome!!! P.S.: the basic concept sounds like late 70s through 1992 Genesis in 3/4 time sig (or is it?) just with tons of modern ideas and crazy overlayed accents. Would love to see both playing together in a prog rock band.
Imagination brings untold sounds on bigger kits , why compramise when a drummer can play one . Buddy rich was a small kit player , do big kit players knock him? Drum school is a big lesson , infinitely for us all to learn .thanks Simon and Gavin. .
you can really why Gavin was the perfect choice to inject something new into King Crimson
Yeah, but Fripp needs to do a new POWER TRIO with GH and some new bassist. So easy! Just improvise it all!
I can die at peace after watching this
They’re just discussing their favorite Seinfeld episodes. 🤘🏼
4:36 Fear of a blank Planet ;)
no... its like every third song played by gavin^^
One of his licks
Man, following Gavin's ride work at 2min was tricky .. his 'tree of splashes' goodness always cues me in that he is said genius behind the kit.
Just love the sound of the Sonor drums Gavin Harrison plays - what a tone! One day...maybe...
Has a feel of going into Bottom Of Your Soul. It's got that riff.
Nicely noticed, it has the same 6/8 time signature and similar tempo, a lot of Simon's fills are quite similar to the big roll down the toms he plays just before the end section of the song
Simon's snare KILLS always! If the snare pops like this you play less to let it speak...this is one of the better double drumming performances...these guys listen to ea other well...musical over a wankfest many turn into
Simon is a monster.....one of few guys who still rocks a huge kit and has earned it! I usually like a more stripped down tighter set up but love seeing SP behind this monster Tama after all these years!
love both of these guys, amazing musicians!
Very nice percussion ensemble! Both such great players, and musically compatible. Would love to hear this again with good speakers
this is the most inspiring shit ever
4:33 beautiful "Simonism" followed by a "Gavinism" 😍 two greats
I'm gonna have this as my ringtone and never answer my phone..
The best drummer game: let's play rather twisted rhythms so as to the other drummer fuck up his play!
Love seeing Gavin & Simon jamming around, can't wipe that smile off my face.
Just awesome!! So musical . Amazing chops but not a chops fest for the sake of it. The effect is so powerful!🥁👌🏻
Sublime, exquisito, un deleite al oído, excelente manejo de dinámicas, dos grandes de la historia bateristica!!!
HOW CAN YOU DISLIKE THIS?!?!?!?!?
I think you will find it extemely rare to find any video on youtube with 1000 likes and no dislikes. For this to have only 8 (as of today) means that only 8 of the 1000+ viewers were the donkeys that dislike vids for kicks. Funny old world eh? Concentrate on the positives!
BRITISH POWER !!!
No reason for Simon to position his hat any higher up, he primarily plays open style so does not require the same clearance as a conventionally styled drummer.
Wonderful performance! These guys both play so well, even though they are very different. It's too bad drummers don't get together and play with each other more often. I've done it a few times and it's amazing what comes out. Also, a great opportunity to learn new things. If you liked this, there's a great video on YT of Jojo Mayer and Benny Greb, different from this but just as amazing.
Here is a clip of Simon Phillips introducing Gavin Harrison at the Modern Drummer Festival in 2008 that explains their connection and similar musical influences. th-cam.com/video/tboVyEIsaIM/w-d-xo.html
I’ve been a fan of Simon for almost 20 years, so I discovered Gavin through this video and other similar ones. Then I was flabbergasted when I saw him play with Porcupine Tree a few months ago and now I’m hooked to his playing and that band’s music! I hope to see him play live soon.
Gavin Harrison is a God! Just wow!
How cool are these drummers!!! Really enjoyed the whole video, thanks for sharing
No Problem! Glad you enjoyed it - remember there is more inside each issue of iDrum magazine which is free to read online! If your interested in any of our back issues head to: bit.ly/iDrum_BackIssues
what drums were made for. Yes
Incredible! there is a dialog, question & answer in each fill! two of the greatest drummers
The best 2 drummers in the world, period.
What about Baard Kolstad and Marco Minnermann? Those 4 monsters are my favourite drummers.
a very childish comment. have you heard every other drummer in the world?
This is a master piece!
It seems to me that 27 people have never watched great musicians together before or never held any drumsticks in their hands.
They listen to J lo and Beyonce shit.
im fainted a thousant times during this video
Just a big ole smile on my face, and a little bit giddy.... drum the fuck on.....
Had the privilege of seeing them with jeff beck and king crimson it was akin to a religious experience
That opening bell riff sounds like Sound of Muzak!
Just stunning! Two of my top-3 favorite rock drummers, along with Mark Brzezicki.
What ever happened to Mark B.?
Gavin is a top drummer....Simon is not so good....he is fake
Holy shit gods are together
My god! th-cam.com/video/6ZY8raPkDys/w-d-xo.htmlm22s - 5:22
simon is very good . but gavin is on another level
I can do a paradiddle...
is there a studio audio pull from this session anywhere to be found ?
I think these to could have a future in music, if they put a bit more effort at it ha ha
Both inspire me and cause me to consider quitting at the same time!
GH is predominately a Rock/Prog Rock drummer with multi genre ability, but, he’s the only drummer I know of that doesn’t continually beat on China’s, he uses the 12” like a splash and the larger ones like accent cymbals striking them only once and not repeatedly.! Just inspirational for other drummers to improve their own ability and texture.!
Can any one please help to find the end timing? 6.26 to end
Wow! These two drummers totally rocked it! I really enjoyed the entire piece because it was so musical. It wasn't about two drummers banging to see who can play the fastest. it was very tasteful. Thanks iDrum!
I like Simon Phillips the great musician
Did you know that your area’s local time is being adjusted every 10 minutes on Gavin’s Time? In some countries the clocks are even skipping one hour every time Gavin stops playing. Some conspirators say that back in the 90’s UTC was adjusted upon atomic clocks but this led to a global mess and we immediately turned back on Gavin’s Time. Just some food for thought.
5:18 Glorious
I think all the people that constantly make the drummer joke about drummers not being musicians should watch this. This performance is as much musical as it is rhymical
I jut heard this for the first time. Really good stuff. Simon went on a crazy tangent near the end. Gavin backed off with class due to his personality.Total class. At any point GH could have really walked the dog. But he played to the situation. Simon did great, but Gavin is off the chain
one of the most ridiculous things ive ever seen. wow
That Tom work is almost Tribal feeling
more Videos like that , Musical drumming, not 2 Drummers just whaling triplets around their kits. gratulations on that.
Well , I don't have erectile dysfunction anymore .... JIZZ on this masterpiece
2 of my favorite drummers..awesome
This is GOLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did Gavin write this? Just saw Crimson in Cleveland and they performed this at the show..
I'd really like to hear Gavin harrison and Tony Royster Jr. do one of these. I think they would fit quite nicely in the same groove.
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!
🤘🏼❤🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁❤🤘🏼
Absolutely incredible. The feel between these guys is incredible. Such skill. Makes me want to go and set fire to my kit!
excellent tom sounds, real tribal
That's a lot of fun! Musical, too.🙂
Come on now... that's how we brits do it. Two of England's finest drummers. Love this.
Telepathic.
Does anybody know what pattern he's playing 5.21?
Awesome sound. Very great drumming from two accomplished musicians
This was total drum technique in every sense of the word. These guys are in sinc and fantastic.If this doesnt lure you to your drums there is no interest in the art.
I think crimson does something similar. I wonder if this is Gavin’s thing
i give up!
That was totally beautiful, absolutely outstanding in everyway.!!!
I feel like im the only one who thinks Simon Philips drum kit is a lot bigger than it should be! I think a setup like Gavins would suite him much better!
Simon is an "old school drummer" and the large drum set became his signature. But he does have a small kit too playing with Toto.
Yeah, he could kinda loose about half the toms he has and literally no one but him would notice from a sound point of view.
indian tihai formation on the main theme, i wonder if it was on purpose or just natural.either way its great
Both are great drummers with a great drumsound. So musical and melodic. This is awesome
dear simon& gavin. you guys are two of the very bst drumers; i love it keep your drums coming buds; im behind y u guys; your fan; terry
Gavin Harrison hitting the toms and bells at the same time from 3:05 is one of the tiny little things showing why he's the best.
Is there any transcription available yet? Did any one try to do that?
Me encanta la forma de interpretar de Simon Philips, un gran músico por donde lo mires.
What a joy to watch and listen to! Thanks so much for sharing:)
So well done and in tune each other
Simon's kit looks too big for his body! Both great players
4:34 I die! OMG!
Simon !
As a player yes , your tuning in the other hand ........
I really like Simon Philips. With Mike Oldfield, the Who and Toto, really great, but am I the only one who feels that his kit looks REALLY uncomfortable? Toms to big and to high, hihat WAY to low. Cymbals to high up and don't get me started on the trio of floors and that huge whatever it is. I don't think I'd be able to play one decent groove on it. Forget about hitting rims, I'd even hit the kettles.
Have you tried playing open handed with your regular hi-hat height? :) Not exactly an ideal playing position! Lowering it down however, feels great. I'd play open handed myself if I just had the patience to either switch to left handed/left footed, but I doubt it will ever happen. I tried playing left footed for about two weeks, inspired by Simon actually, but gave up quite quickly.
Johan Sjögren
Yes I did. REALLY uncomfortable also. And I don't get it as well. I mean, one hand is always going to be better developed then the other. I'm not saying that you shouldn't work on that but what's the point of switching? I have toms and a snare and cymbals over and to the left of my hihat and I don't have a problem getting there. You can practice playing something you already know how to play a different way, but what's the point? The same time would be better spend learning something new.
I'd think the same, but hey it pretty much works for Simon :D
***** agreed! ^^
He have explained why he play the way he does. With the low hihat. He explains it in an interview but I can't remember which one.
OK nice but I also don't understand at 03:53 - 03:59.
doubles on the ride and singles on splashs
it’s a triplette
RR(ride)L ( splash )
Imagine these two at your local drum circle meet up.
What a fucking racket!
Drumzilla!
My two fave drummers ever #2gether 🤙🏻🔝🥁
