Wow, I mean damn. That was one of the finest reaction videos I've ever seen. Beautiful the way you let the whole song play with just thoughtful little comments. That you took notes and then went back to show us what you had noticed was really special. Your whole presentation showed how you respected the music. Great video and audio quality too. I wish more people doing this sort of thing would take the kind of care that you just demonstrated. Gavin is -as always-5 stars. Going to give you 5 stars too...you earned them. Thanks.
Thank you for this reaction. You should check out Hatesong by Porcupine Tree, live from Chicago. Seeing Gavin Harrison play live with that band is something special.
The best part is that the drum part was written by Steven Wilson on a drum machine which was then detailed by Gavin Harisson, the ghost notes and all. Pure genius. One of the grooviest lines out there.
Owen: "This won't be a technical reaction, I'm not a technical drummer" Me: "Cool, I may understand what he talks about" Owen: Breaks down the time signatures, discusses staying in the pocket, timing, etc., etc. Me: "Owen! You lied, you lied!"
Cool thing about those verses is that the snare is consistently landing on every 7 8th notes. It's so cleverly constructed with the quarter note lead on the hi-hats, and the feet patterns built around the snare.
It took me a while to come watch this, but I finally took the time to watch it and leave a comment :) Even though I don't consider myself a fan of Gavin Harrison, the guy is just a monster when it comes to groove and interesting drum patterns. Everything is so tight and beautifully composed and executed. I mean if somebody would ask me for a the definition of tasteful I would show him a playthrough of Gavin Harrison :D As usual your reactions are so interesting, entertaining and insightful, you are doing great! The drummer of this band called The Ocean (ok it is more a collective than a band) posted a playthrough of their latest songs if you feel up to react to 13 minutes of great prog drumming look up for Paul Seidel - Jurassic/Cretaceous - the track blew my mind and the drum playthrough even more. truly great stuff!
Great reaction! The only other drummer who has a similar feel (imo) is Jimmy Chamberlin. He is a bit more jazz oriented, but i highly recommend you check out some of his work.
Muzak (n.) 1935, proprietary name for piped music, supposedly a blend of music and Kodak, said to have been coined by Gen. George Squier (1865-1934), who, among his other important inventions, developed the system of background music for workplaces c. 1922.
Since you are reacting to new music too, would you check out Pineapple Thief? They have had Gavin for 3 years and their 3rd album with him will be out in september, a new track was released yesterday and I liked the way you were checking out Haken's Virus, would be fun to see that again! Or some of their live performances with Gavin!
lol. It is a play on what over in the US is called "Mu-zack" or mindless elevator music. Thanks man! Now that you have seen this, just watch the first 30seconds of this: th-cam.com/video/ENF9wth4kwM/w-d-xo.html what he does on the snare during the cross stick is so awesome.
If you’re referring to my outro, it was an original piece that me and my good friend Mark Morgan created for a product review I did a few years back. Search on my channel for ‘ProMark Hot Rods Review’ and it should come up.
Actually wait, no! You could do a review of this nice little song. Would love you to listen to Ádám, one of the best drummers we got in Hungary :) th-cam.com/video/Xeu9DQ9X3Vo/w-d-xo.html
Gavin is a very musical drummer. For example check out his Drum Song videos. By the way, I'm a guitar player, but I much rather watch drummers than shredders.
Gavin would improvise when playing live, every show there is some new details. So although he sounds intentional, is more out off skill than anything else.
I dunno dude seems like ur reaction to great musicianship is preparing for an exam. u should feel and enjoy and observe the music so u wont miss anything. than after ur first impression take another listen and take note or what ever u do. just my opinion. thx
@@OwenAlec haha yes I guess u want to do justice to the artist and ur viewers. but i think most of the people watching this reaction videos are already familiar with the song ( maybe drummers) and just want to see if somebody with knockledge of drumming cracks a smile/ is surprised/amazed at the same fills and section.
at least that is my case. i can play many porcupine tree songs on drum and know them since 15 years. but i don't personally know a lot of people who enjoy their music or at least are able/qualified too see the brilliance of GH right away, so to feel part of a group and get some affirmation for my taste of music I watch this videos :D
I don't wanna be a toxic shit in the youtube but if someone who calls a BAND their NAME wrong and still calls another band better; he is making a huge mistake from the only song he've listen to LIVE! It really turned me off :'(

GH just brings it to life perfectly 👌
Owen: "This won't be a technical reaction, I'm not a technical drummer"
Me: "Cool, I may understand what he talks about"
Owen: Breaks down the time signatures, discusses staying in the pocket, timing, etc., etc.
Me: "Owen! You lied, you lied!"
🤣😂😂 That's about as far as my technical knowledge goes! I never had lessons, so I didn't learn theory... so I'm just kinda blagging it haha 😄
Cool thing about those verses is that the snare is consistently landing on every 7 8th notes. It's so cleverly constructed with the quarter note lead on the hi-hats, and the feet patterns built around the snare.
Absolutely! Well thought out and brilliantly executed!
Great Reaction👌👌
Gavin "King Of The Fills" Harrison :D
He's the absolute king for He's the absolute king to me! I like it for its musical versatility, it plays all genres in an excellent way.
@@fabriziofedele6375he’s the King of Drums mate, I could watch and listen to Gavin Harrison all day long.
DUUUUDE. You missed the best part. 5:00. That was a killer fill and you were writing notes.
Yeah i was gutted I missed that first time round, don't worry, it has been fully appreciated since haha 😆
Gavin Harrison - The Pineapple Thief (Threatening War) drum cam
Baard Kolstad - Leprous (The Sky is Red) drum cam
Already done Baard, it was awesome! Haha 😄
It took me a while to come watch this, but I finally took the time to watch it and leave a comment :)

Thanks a lot, glad you're liking my take on this stuff. I'll add your suggestion to the list 😊

Cheers, glad you liked the video. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check him out 😃
Hes way better than jimmy hes the best of all time
@@austin5732 Everyone has their favorite!

Muzak is a euphemism for soulless kind of "elevator music" type stuff.

dude you take timestamp notes?
I'm in. Can't wait til you listen to the Cockroach King. lol

Thanks man!
Now that you have seen this, just watch the first 30seconds of this: th-cam.com/video/ENF9wth4kwM/w-d-xo.html what he does on the snare during the cross stick is so awesome.
I learn something new everyday haha Glad you liked the video, dude! I'll check out that other link too :)
Many you need to use shorthand! Totally missed some monster fills whilst writing. Cheers though man for an otherwise great reaction/breakdown!
My bad haha I have watched it a few times since 😂 Glad you liked the video though, cheers
Anesthetize, and Hate song live.
So refreashing to someone react to a video without stopping every 20 secs and talking all the way through.
Yeah that really bugs me too, you can't get the true feeling and emotion of a song by stopping it all the time!
What is the song name in the closing part of the video?
If you’re referring to my outro, it was an original piece that me and my good friend Mark Morgan created for a product review I did a few years back. Search on my channel for ‘ProMark Hot Rods Review’ and it should come up.
Lets react Eloy Casagrande xD
Actually wait, no! You could do a review of this nice little song. Would love you to listen to Ádám, one of the best drummers we got in Hungary :)

I'll add this one to the list :)
4:45 he called for a wrong call and still acted like he didn't mess up. I don't mean to offend anyone it's just what it seemed to me.
Gavin is a very musical drummer. For example check out his Drum Song videos. By the way, I'm a guitar player, but I much rather watch drummers than shredders.
We need more guitarists on the side of drummers haha Glad to have you on board ;)
Same here, main instrument guitar, but man... watching Gavin gives me chills....
Gavin would improvise when playing live, every show there is some new details. So although he sounds intentional, is more out off skill than anything else.
A good way to keep things from getting boring for himself too, if he's playing it every night haha 😄
I dunno dude seems like ur reaction to great musicianship is preparing for an exam. u should feel and enjoy and observe the music so u wont miss anything. than after ur first impression take another listen and take note or what ever u do. just my opinion. thx
For sure, I try not to be too analytical of songs like this and just feel it, but it doesn't always come across that way haha

You really missed the outro?? I'm just so sad for you.
I don't wanna be a toxic shit in the youtube but if someone who calls a BAND their NAME wrong and still calls another band better; he is making a huge mistake from the only song he've listen to LIVE!
It really turned me off :'(
