You need to check out to Gavin Harrison with Porcupine tree live playing the song Way out of here and What happens now? Gavin is a monster, absolutely level god
This is my favorite version of this song. in the chorus on this version, the last bass note of every grouping of 3 is moved back by a half beat and it just adds so much groove. Gavin and Matt Gartska are my 2 go-to drummers right now. So good.
This was the first song I ever heard from this band. Ironically it was played on a local radio station where I live. The very first thing I noticed was the drumming. I went and bought the album and have loved them ever since. That was in 2004 and they are my favorite band hands down. I got to see them live on this last tour and it was amazing. If you ever get a chance to see these guys live do it. You will not be dissappointed. It will change your life.
A lesson in how to make 7/4 time signature sound absolutely smooth. You barely miss the missing quarter note. I think it was you that said the quote " he's not human". I agree...I think Gavin was sent here from a dying planet by his parents to save the world of rock/ prog/ fusion drumming from a slow death, created by the non-musician world of awful pop music. 👍👍🥁
Only problem with that suggestion re getting GH to compile all his fills in a book - is that they are infinite - literally. He literally makes them as he plays along. He has stated his greatest fear as a drummer is to ever spot someone in the crowd at one of his gigs successfully airdrum along with him any fill he plays in any song - so he (as you rightly pointed out) NEVER plays the same fill twice. The word "freak" comes to mind.....
So smooth, so fluid, so musically appropriate, so interesting - this guy freaking rules!
