@Fred Fredson Bang on Fred. Pineapple thief is the bastard child of Snow Patrol and Coldplay. Fuckin' shite. Gavin makes it listenable if only for the drum part. Been listening to Gavin for donkey's years. The guy is from another planet.
@@frankievaccaro3216 no offense Neil’s great and everything but every time I see a comment like yours I can tell you just don’t look up other drummers ever lol. There are plenty of amazing drummers from the 60s 70s well into the 00s that smoke Peart; Huub Jansenn, Alan White, Bill Bruford, Simon Phillips, Chester Thompson, Martin Axenrot… the list goes on. Rush is cool… but you have so much other stuff to explore
@@magog6852correct. For instance Simon smoked everyone until Gavin came... 😅 Bruford is sensational as well. I love all the above mentioned by you and agree 100% with your statement. You didn't mention Vinnie that smoked him too. 😅
@@BoogieWoogieCat Eh, shut up, Gavin is better in every single aspect. You can continue worshiping drummers that were good 50 years ago. Fucking idiot.
@@jamelgreaves6989 Yo Virgil and Thomas are both kinda technical chop oriented players whereas Gavin focuses on groove and musicality. So I think you're comparing the wrong guys.
the way he incorporates the toms really blows me away, not many drummers play from low to high, yet he does it all the time and it always fits perfectly.
Everything he touches is pure gold. Most people will follow the vocalist around while some of us notice the other talents. Hat tip, Gavin. You're a musical genius.
His signature :) Mostly to do with 8 strand wires, S-Hoop, Controlled sound and dampening ring. I outfitted my own birch one this way and it's wonderful! Can't afford his, but one day ...
Flight Channel Yeah, every note has a musical purpose in supporting the composition. His musical decision-making is up there with Simon Phillips’. Few of the masters have this ability.
Daayuuum his ghost notes with his fingers was nifty! And i love how his playing serves the song so much too, doesn't sound like he's going all over the place, Gavin's such a cool drummer..
@@88omair CC are fine as they are, no need to put down other bands. I don't think Gavin would not be a good choice for them. Paul's style fits them perfectly even though it's much less "intricate". But if you have webster and those guitars, somebody needs to keep the house clean and Paul's simple yet effective beats are perfect for that. Also, I doubt that Gavin could play a full CC set just like that with the same intensity. He'd have to adjust his style quite a bit. Not saying he wouldn't be able to do it of course. Also, you are completely missing the point of CC. Their goal is not to be musical. And even though the guitar and basswork is incredible, their main goal is to be a rhythm bulldozer and I can't see Gavin adding something senseful in that at all, sorry
His use of the snare in the fist 90 sec is tremendous yet subtle. The almost constant snare roll mixed in with toms and cymbals riding over the bass beat is incredible. Not sure I have ever seen a drummer use the snare like this.
love the way he is playing. i can watch him till the morning. it is so smooth, so technical and so drum is so balanced. he is my idol from the beginning.
Wow!!! I've been a Porcupine Tree & TPT fan for years, and when we saw TPT last May in Nashville, what you don't see is the intricacy of Gavin's playing! 👍🍻
He got 55 yeard old!? Seriously?! I aprecciate everything from this Guy. We all have to study this person to understand How se can all bem that awesome. Hes intervirews, skills and thoughts about drumming are like no other.
Typical of this gent, pure class. Has the chops, knows when to and when not to use them. I never tire of him. Plus his knowledge on recording drums shows in the sound he gets. Perfection
The fingertaps on the snare while simultaneously rim shotting is fucking brilliant, never seen that before! That had my mind blown in the first 20 seconds, and the rest of the song is awesome, too. Yeah, that was dope... 😃
Forget the ghost notes, the finger thing he does on between the sticking, this man's musicality is absolute perfection. He doesn't get boring, I attempt to play the drums but even I get to a point where I'm boring myself out. RIP dad corona took you from me but it can't erase the wonderful memories I've had for the last 35 years of my life.
The Pineapple Thief is an absolute " KILLER " project. Was lucky enough to catch them live a few weeks ago in Cleveland in a very intimate setting of around 200 people. Worth every penny ... incredible drumming, and the line up is complimentary to itself and the music conveys that fact. Love the lyrics ... neat way ( insight) of using words to convey feelings and match the music.

The tightness of his finger ghost notes is insane. This man...
I just had the same thought...
Shiiit man when I saw that I was like WUUUT? So impressive.
This man INDEED .. Porcupine Tree will forever shape and change the way this guitarist thinks about the importance of percussionists ..
you can call him "dinamic man". his touch is perfect

I've never heard someone play so many notes and yet not overplay his part. He's so amazingly musical.
Well said!
I agree. He is the best composer of drum parts since Neil Peart. Amazing stuff

This thing he does with his fingers while playing cross stick is pure magic.
Check him out on Drumeo - he explains it more.

this man makes all the bands he is in ten times better
One of the best drummers in the planet. Underrated band btw.
watching gavin playing it's more relaxing than a 3 week holiday
@Jieming Liu You can listen to Gavin's songs during the 3 week holiday 😉
good one.
best comment ever. so true
777Erf or a 3 month quarantine
Nathaniel Plays Lol yes
Not only your playing is on a top technical level ... You also a very great musician, Gavin. Chapeau. Greetings from Koblenz Christoph👍👍👍👍👍
That hi hat with the left foot along with the Groove..only Gavin can think Music like this..!!
And Thomas Lang.
Thomas Lang and Gavin are both exceptional.
But Virgil Donati would destroy them both
That was amazing
@@jamelgreaves6989 nah virgil sucks. Gav is the best ever

Older I get the more I enjoy tasteful drumming.
Love his drumming, not just for his incredible technique but he has such musical and interesting rhythmic ideas.
Its his musicality and subtle embellishments that are Gavin's strength. The man just possesses style
the way he incorporates the toms really blows me away, not many drummers play from low to high, yet he does it all the time and it always fits perfectly.
How can he be so CLEAN? I mean there isn't a single stroke out of rythm or imbalancedi missed or overstruck. He is a living legend
I wrote this because for the last 2 minutes I thought i was listening to album edition
Gavin is the best drummer on the planet. I miss PT.
There’s absolutely never any wasted space with Gavin’s drumming. He ties everything together amazingly well. What a musician.
Most complete drummer of all times. 101% perfection.
Everything he touches is pure gold. Most people will follow the vocalist around while some of us notice the other talents. Hat tip, Gavin. You're a musical genius.
I wish I could meet Mr. Gavin just to tell him how much I admire him and how much he taught me , a true living legend and a true musician ❤️🤘
this is sick. i follow him since 2002. and man he is....amazing
Same here! everything song he touches turns to gold!
Gavin is out of this world. Unique sound and style and a joy to listen to. We love ya Gavin!
OMG that snare sounds beautiful!!!
His signature :) Mostly to do with 8 strand wires, S-Hoop, Controlled sound and dampening ring. I outfitted my own birch one this way and it's wonderful! Can't afford his, but one day ...
I do this to my snares as well. What a difference it makes.
3 things to save and send in space after human extinction.. One is Gavin Harrison!
The second one is Steven Wilson
@@peacekeeper3026 Let's complete the capsule with Colin Edwin...for the mood. :D
the other 2 are Marco Minnemann...
Perfection and extreme talent are mere words , we are not worthy
He really drew the maximum out of this song here, wow. And still it doesn't sound overplayed but perfectly to purpose.
Flight Channel Yeah, every note has a musical purpose in supporting the composition. His musical decision-making is up there with Simon Phillips’. Few of the masters have this ability.
always the best sounding toms..
unbeatable !
Finger ghost notes!!!! What a great drummer is Gavin Harrison.
Was fortunate to see Gavin live and he played perfectly. The man is one elegant drumming machine
This guy has a very unique flow of ideas. Is mesmerizing to watch him .
Gavin "Easy going" Harrison! What a rhythmic monster, he never runs out of new ideas!
Gavin's drumming always makes me feel happy.
Best drummer on mother Earth undoubtedly🙌
Always said it
MY favorite drummer ever
And I would say without overreacting that he is objectively the best
This is what they call a Masterclass people! The cross stick work, is nothing short of incredible, thanks Gavin!
Daayuuum his ghost notes with his fingers was nifty! And i love how his playing serves the song so much too, doesn't sound like he's going all over the place, Gavin's such a cool drummer..
Master of drums!
I can see/ hear why he is playing with King Crimson.
Just saw them a week ago, Gavin was absolutely incredible. Check out their live performance of indiscipline on TH-cam.
He could play in any band tbh. Gavin could make Cannibal Corpse sound musical
Omair Sheikh lel.

GOAT

So unique as always, breathtaking
Wow the ride cymbal touches the tom hard... Awesome playing from the gratest Gavin Harrison.
Absolutely incredible, the man makes me smile when I watch him, a true artist at work!
Just fun to watch and listen! Good god, this man is 56 years of age!!!! Drums = fountain of youth!
love the way he is playing. i can watch him till the morning. it is so smooth, so technical and so drum is so balanced. he is my idol from the beginning.
Really like that descending ascending fill, very cool. Of course, it's all cool!
That opening groove is outrageous
Ein genialer Schlagzeuger ! Absolut musikalisch
What a great drummer!
so musical playing. power,speed,tech..on a extrem level. in my opinion a superhero
I will stop whatever else I have going on to watch new Gavin Harrison footage. This guys' playing is so refined.
Hey! I can actually play 2:02 - 2:10!!
John D. Me too! Hahahaha
The fill at 2:14 tho
@@jbro2767 that fill sounds crazy but it's not super hard. Just alternative between right left on the hands and double pedals.
That's great. I can't 🙄
ME TOO JAJAJ
Wow, wow, wow! Greetings and many thanks from Germany!
Wow!!! I've been a Porcupine Tree & TPT fan for years, and when we saw TPT last May in Nashville, what you don't see is the intricacy of Gavin's playing! 👍🍻

wonder how lovely would it be to play on such a wiggly yet solid drum kit as this one.
ITS SOOOOOOOOOO FUN to watch him play! EeVEryThing He does! OH my LORD
Always been one of my fav drummers and one of the best out there
Such a master. Such economy of movement. Even as he goes from one end of the kit to the other - often with the same hand.
The master at work. Seriously, I've been watching Gavin play for years now and I'm still amazed every time.
A pleasure to watch.
I always love watching Gavin play, amazing skill.

one of the best 3 minutes of my life
The magician at work yet again...
This guy is just too good, who on Earth could be better?
What a joy ! master !
He has incredible groove. That funk drumming he has in his arsenal is one of his biggest strengths.
what a divine sounding kit and cymbals
Awesome love the kit to
Incredible job Gavin
He is a gemius !!
I love his compact kit it looks so cool and comfortable to play and as usual it sounds amazing

John Lascko totally agree. I saw them in Boston. I had meet & greet tickets and it was an excellent experience. Tremendous guys.
A masterclass of the sir.Harrison.
You Could have easily given us more than three minutes of sublime music
Maravilloso !
Its like each groove can have its own song, what a master in this craft!
It’s just incredible how precise he is.
The best drummer in the world
Gavin is an incredible drummer and musician.
