Gavin's playing is so musical, and blends elements of insane technical skills with moderation and musicianship at the right moments. The most complete and tasteful drummer ever imo.
Gavin Richardson and Danny Carey are my top 2 drummers. This guy did a fantastic cover. I've been drumming for 20 plus years and this song is by no means easy
Man, you do those reversed fills with such ease. That's a real sign of an awesome drummer, who have spent a good time developing his skills. My respect
You truly are amazing to watch. Such control and discipline. Rudiments, pocket, and chops are off the chart... without losing the feel. Very impressive!
Yeah. It's really interesting for sure! Everyone sounds different - it wouldn't make any sense for me to go for a note for note cover, since Gavin already played it perfectly. So I just tried to get the most important parts right and continued to do my own thing from there on. Cheers!
Absolute control and performed with such authority on one of the modern drum god's songs. This might be the best drum cover of any song I have ever seen. Fantastic!
One of my favourite drum covers by you. Along with Harridan. Not only incredible skills, perfectly fitting sound but also a wonderful selection of songs. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you :)
great playing!. honestly don't know what i could say ? you make the drum's look so easy to play. thumb's up for me. what are some of the bands you like.cheers from down under.
Thanks a lot man and cheers from Germany! Of course I love Porcupine Tree - otherwise some of my favorite bands are Leprous, Agent Fresco, Periphery.. And I really love The Hirsch Effekt - they are still a relatively small band from Berlin/Hanover. Definitely worth a listen. I played live with them in May - also have a Drum Cam on my channel. Cheers 🤟🏻
The Tree, by virtue of their unhurried aesthetic and dedication to composition ask a lot of their percussionist. It takes a brave man or woman to take that on. Simon, you're brave - and as it turns out a highly gifted (young!) and unique percussionist. Kudos!
Hey, thanks a lot for the kind words! The compositions of The Pineapple Thief and Porcupine Tree are very dynamic - they ask for a certain mixture of complex and very progressive drum parts and yet catchy and groovy ideas.. Gavin always nails this mixture perfectly - I love practicing this stuff. Cheers!
Great job and great song choice. Was lucky enough to see them a year ago, or so, in Cleveland. Worth every penny and we need more creative music like this. Excellent video.
God damn! Wish I had even half of the skill you posess. That was absolutely brilliant all around! Subbed! I like to think of myself as a good drummer but you are just excellent!
Du hast echt Eier, ein Cover eines an sich schon perfekten Songs, einer Band in der einer der besten Schlagzeuger spielt zu machen und es erst noch mit eigenen Fills auszuschmücken und dann erst noch in einer solchen Perfektion. Probs an dich👍🏻 Tolle Arbeit
Thank you for watching and the nice feedback! More stuff coming soon :)

At first sight I thought that Sebastian Vettel changed from F1 to drums :) Jokes aside: It can be seen clearly that your playing style is highly inspired by Gavin, and the way you play this song tells me that you practiced that for thousands of hours. You are a master of this song and you deserve to have much more attention. Well played. New subscriber here.
Broooooo. Im watching this 2 years later. I appreciate you a lot more. Howtf can u switch leading hands. You, sir, are a legend. Do u still drum? If u do please leave me a link.
Hey there, thanks a lot! Yeah, I‘m still drumming - I also have a lot of new videos on TH-cam. My latest being this one th-cam.com/video/P74LZ3t9fTw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WMdXZujCZiU7wdVM Cheers 🤟🏻
Dude your playing is extremely clean and precise. 10/10 ! did you memorize this or got a chart? I would love to learn this song but probably takes 4 days to chart this out
Hey, thanks a lot!! :) For all my covers I learn everything by ear and memorize the drum parts - it’s great training! For a drum sheet I might also need many hours to get it done properly. Cheers!
Wow! Awesome cover! Everything sounds great. Love the sound of your cymbals! A question, what Remo Drum heads are you using? Thanks....wishing you much success!!
Hey David, glad you like the Video! Thanks for the kind words! In this Video I use Remo Vintage Emperors on the toms, a clear powerstroke 3 on the bass drum and a Controlled Sound on the Snare. And I use clear ambassadors as reso heads on the toms. Hope that helps :) Cheers!
@@gabrielcorvalanmerino6148 Dave Weckl is also very inspiring. I saw him live in a jazz club few years back- very smooth technical and musical drumming!
This is top notch playing..The fills are on point. Could you let me know, which snare you are using..is it a Sonor protean ? If not, what are you doing to making it sound so damn full and fat like a Gavin's snare. Thanks in advance :)
Thanks a lot man! The snare in this video is a 14x6,5 Ludwig Black Beauty with Die-Cast Hoops. I use a Remo Controlled Sound and tune the reso-Head pretty tight. I‘m glad you like the sound! Cheers!
Hey there, I don’t have the drumless track - for this cover I used an EQ to filter out the original drums. It works pretty good for the covers. Cheers!
Awesome cover. Not fan of the ride's tone that does not fit the song imo. I d have chosen another one for that track. But your drumming is on point. Congrats!

Yeah! Actually we're on the same page here :) Cheers man!
Gavin Richardson and Danny Carey are my top 2 drummers. This guy did a fantastic cover. I've been drumming for 20 plus years and this song is by no means easy
You definitely stay busy playing anything Gavin Harrison has written. No falling asleep on the job. Well done.
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you like it!
Man, you do those reversed fills with such ease. That's a real sign of an awesome drummer, who have spent a good time developing his skills. My respect
Thanks a lot David!!
Insane cover! Can't believe I had not seen this before given I watch every thing about GH or TPT and PT.
Thanks man! You're going to see them live? I'm going to two concerts in Germany soon. Can't wait! Cheers!
@@SimonSchroederDrums I just saw TPT few months ago in Canada. Amazing to witness in person!
Simon, from one drummer to another, if Gavin Harrison ever leaves Pineapple Thief, they need to call you. No doubt about it.
Haha that would be crazy! I‘m glad you like it! 🖤
Dude, captured the feeling of a very difficult song, one of the best Gaving covers I've ever seen
Wow, that’s nice! Thanks a lot! 🙏
You truly are amazing to watch. Such control and discipline. Rudiments, pocket, and chops are off the chart... without losing the feel. Very impressive!
Thanks a lot! I’m glad that you like the cover! Cheers!
Fantastic.
Interpretation.. its amazing to see the difference ...think gavin would watch this and think huh i never thought of approaching it that way.
Yeah. It's really interesting for sure! Everyone sounds different - it wouldn't make any sense for me to go for a note for note cover, since Gavin already played it perfectly. So I just tried to get the most important parts right and continued to do my own thing from there on. Cheers!
Holy crow, what a ridiculously good cover, so clean
Thanks a lot!!
That's a guy that's done his paradiddles! Well done mate, excellent performance!
Thanks a lot!!
Simon is an extraordinary drummer
Thanks a lot!!
Absolute control and performed with such authority on one of the modern drum god's songs. This might be the best drum cover of any song I have ever seen. Fantastic!
Thanks a lot man! I'm glad you like the video!

Hey there, my favorite drummer is Gavin.. Together with Simon Phillips :D
@@SimonSchroederDrums i admire gavin and dave weckl because they play styles that i love and the way they play it is amazing

Thanks!! 🤟🏻
Hi do you have the drumless?
Hey there, I don’t have the drumless track - for this cover I used an EQ to filter out the original drums. It works pretty good for the covers. Cheers!
my congratulations, that song is tremendously complicated!
Thanks a lot!!
Damm dude! Fuckin nailed it very tasty.
Thanks a lot man! Glad you like it!!
Awesome cover. Not fan of the ride's tone that does not fit the song imo. I d have chosen another one for that track. But your drumming is on point. Congrats!
Thanks a lot! Guess back then I only had that Dark Ride. Have to check if I would choose another one today. Cheers!
.. es MAL EBEN in jeglichen Aspekt besser spielen, ist auch eine Art des coverns.
Vielen Dank Matthias!! Freut mich, dass dir das Cover so gut gefällt! :)
