Thanks for this reaction... Not seen it before.. I'm a guy who found Porcupine Tree by complete accident 2 years ago..... and i'm 71 for goodness sake and i've just been devoring them and spreading the music all around as much as I can... Steven Wilson I had heard of... but as this guy who did all the sonic remastering.. and I listen to Aneathsetize and I am drowning in a gorgeous pool of PT and Gavin Harrison has been part of that... I've appreciated drummers ever since Ringo, after all I grew up with them and I love them all... but this man is just special.. You are able to vocalise why for me... I can just feel it, which is what music is all about really isn't it... Keep on rocking.

I've been singing his praises for over a decade. Gavin is THE MAN. Apart from being technically great, the one word that always comes to mind when I hear him play is tasteful. Everything he does is just so on point, and even though there's a lot of cool fills and stuff in his playing, it's never showy, never overpowering the song. Like I said: tasteful.

I think that it's comparing apples and oranges when you're talking about playing on this level. Mangini works for DT and that's no small feat. You can say he's playing with no feeling like a mindless automaton but he hits the lines in a group that has crazy time shifts and melodic arrangements. I love Gavin's musicality, but he just wouldn't fit into a group like DT because his intricate fills were never outside of 2/4 and that would be a huge curve ball to swing at.

I saw him live a couple of years ago with King Crimson in Liverpool, England. 3 drummers on stage at once, Gavin was the stand out drummer of the 3. I was about 6 rows from the front, facing him, he was incredible. Best gig I've ever been to.

I went to see Porcupine Tree about 13 years ago or something like that. They had a band called Pure Reason Revolution opening for them. I had not heard of them before this gig. They where okay for the most part of the gig. But suddenly Gavin joined for their last song and elevated the level of PRR so much that I'm certain it gave me the opportunity to still be listening to them this day. That's how good Gavin is.

Fortunately we all will have that opportunity again!

Answering the question “who is your favourite” drummer has always been a challenge and will vary on different days. Partly depending on perspective - for example my heart says Jeff Porcaro who has had the greatest influence on my own playing style and whose brilliance was in my ways more subtle. And my head could pick several among the many who have pushed the technical limits of our art over recent decades and whose playing leaves me gobsmacked! But right now, here in 2022 I can’t think of anyone who impresses me more than Gavin. Some may argue - perhaps with justification - that there are other drummers that push the technical side even further. But drumming is an art, not a sport, and service to the music must never be eclipsed. From that dual “head+heart” perspective Gavin’ s playing is a thing of utter beauty - sublimely fusing the musical and technical aspects in a way very few if any others on this planet can achieve. And though I have never met him personally he also seems like an incredibly likeable and humble human.

Gavin is fantastic! Who else? Not similar, but I like Jojo Mayer a lot for his vibes and music feeling. So pleasure to hear as Gevin as Jojo! I think these two guys are the best in their musicality.

when you hear and see that, you think "drumming sounds fun, I can do that'... and then you try.... and realize that this guy is a God!

4 me the GOAT today that is on another level is Matt Garstka..🤪🥰🎶🥁❣️ Peace&Love from Sweden 🥰👊

WHOA!! That was phenomenal!! When we think we saw them all. Maybe there are so many and some still haven't had a chance to leave their rooms or a Rockstar / Celeb haven't had their BIG break into the music industry; yet!? Hmm.... Gavin is Great along a slew of drummers; percussionists & maybe a Marcel Lightning Dube pill as well!? Hmm....

Gavin has gigged with Iggy pop, Sam Brown, Level 42, Incognito, and many more, He's so versatile.

If you want to see Gavin with a band, check out the 17-minute video of Anesthetize live in Tilburg. There are other videos from the same concert as well. It's not drum-cam footage like this or the Danny Carey video, but Gavin gets lots of attention from the cameras with multiple camera angles, so it's awesome to watch. And the whole concert is absolutely mind blowing from a musicianship perspective for all the players in the band. I saw a couple of the YT clips and had to hunt down the out of print Blu-ray Disc to see the whole thing at maximum quality. Totally worth it.

Gotta be some of his best work right there

This vid is soo good. 🤘 You definitely should listen (and make a video) from Porcupine Tree's Anesthetize live at Tillburg. You did a shorter, drumfest version yeah but hearing Gavin as a part of the whole is awesome. I saw Porcupine Tree live at that same tour and it was like all your memes.

@@AndrewRooneyDrums I saw it! You seem to like his stuff. Love the videos btw! 🤘

You might want to purchase his drum dvds. He plays a lot of his own compositions on it and of course the obligatory teaching stuff. Found him when Porcupine Tree released Fear of Blank Planet (a progressive conseptual masterpiece) and seen him live 3 times. There IS no one better. You are quite right, sir. Love the channel.

He's a monster Eric

I'll say it... there's a lot of focus n strength payn respect 2 our mothers n fathers in the afterlife imo... also Imo music heals humanity... ... . Keep pushing

I'm embarrassed to say I've never heard of Gavin. I know of his work, but never specifically knew his name or sought him out. What a monster on the kit...thanks for introducing me to this guy!

I can really only think of two or three drummers who are up there at this level: Danny Carey, Jojo Mayer, and Thomas Pridgen

It will Sergio! He's left a mark that'll never leave drumming

I heard his dad had Gavin listen to and play the crazy jazz/technically intense stuff to be who he is. 🤯
