gavin harrison tuning heads tech spec.MP4

[KaatjedeKip]

What does he mean with 'that the pitch of this is away from the toms'?

[krombee]

@KaatjedeKip for example if you tuned your drums to pitches and you had the snare at an A then you wouldn't probably tune the heads on the toms to G, A or B

[KaatjedeKip]

@krombee Thanks! I understood what he meant right after I asked the question, but thanks anyway :-)

[khabriel]

i'm not a drummer and i never seen this process, it's fascinating..

[eddie160994]

Can he just teach me drums. Out on the road with Porcupine Tree, It'll be awesome!

[jupi1969]

one thing i hate about doors is that you have to open them in order to be able to enter the rooms behind them

[WhoFan2421]

0:09 The only mistake I've ever seen him make.

[kimberlykuramaattori]

My friend met Gavin Harrison... He got me Gavin's autographs! Now he is my best friend!

[3rudymora]

I always drop the freakin key!>:0

[2112Benny]

carl I really don't see how that would damage your edge. It's like beating a car with a cotton ball. If u hit it with a hammer, or stack drums on top of other drums I can see that. Just saying :)

[GregoMorgan]

How come even though I'm a bass player I still enjoy watching this ?

[bohdaaanek]

@GregoMorgan because gavin is not just a great player, but a teacher and person too.and also very enthusiastic

[carl9z]

Everyone should be careful when taping the head with a drum key like he does. If your not careful you can really damage your bearing edge on the shell when the key taps it, just a quick tip

[sexypoulpe]

This snare is just a jewel holy shit

[adriano19849]

manda uma caixar dessas pra mim, e um kit de pratos sabian b8 pro, nao tenho como comprar.

[Taburnac]

sonor amboina snare drum. 7x13. and yes that bastard cost 1200 dollars.

[Thermingt0n]

his face a 0 seconds

[janenkooow]

don't ever tap on your drum with jour key

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@janenkooow Anyone who claims that you shouldn't tap the drum head with the drum key is clearly uneducated. Yes, you will damage the drum if you tap the drum with a drum key, that is, if you tap it on the bearing edge. It doesn't really matter what you use, you will damage the drum that way. Tap the head so inches from the edge like you should and it doesn't matter what you use.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX two inches*

[5drum5]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX

AAAHHH shut up jack-ass!! Every pro out there tells you not to use a key or stick to tap the tune between each lug. Use your finger!!

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@5drum5 Never once have I heard a pro say not to use a drumstick. In fact, a drumstick is the best thing to use. As far as using a drum key goes, you are right in the fact that most pros do say not to use one. Although pros do say this, they are wrong. The fact of the matter is that the drum key does not do any type of damage to the drum. Next time you want to call someone a jackass, make sure you can back up what you are talking about.

[5drum5]

@5drum5 You make no sense, and yes you are a jack-ass! Go to the DW site and watch John Good who is not only a long time drum tech in his past, but an exceptional drum designer. That's how you tune some drums!

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@5drum5 Lol were you trying to reply to me? You replied to yourself. Nice one. Anyways, John Good is great at tuning as well, and no, I'm not a jackass. That's a completely irrelevant idea to this video. John Good has great philosophies on tuning, but Gavin also has a method that works for him, and that's what matters.

[Brinemusic]

@janenkooow I think I'll trust a guy who has been tuning drums longer then I've been alive..

[briandrum1]

@janenkooow What? Why on earth do you think it matters? I've been tuning drums for over 26 years, and always have used my key to tune them...

[slipknir]

the sound of the metal is so orgasmic!!!

[Krill3Z]

haha "June of 6th" ... :P he seem to have been pretty tired...

[kr3w0804]

GENIUS

[Rumbleandboom]

Didn't know that sympathetic tom/ snare buzz thing. Interesting.

[helpmeimconfused]

stoner

[amusingisthedawn]

this dude is world class....however the first step should be to put the skin on without the hoop and push your fist into it to stretch it out, then...listen to Gavin.

[bearddragon]

@amusingisthedawn Highly doubt that.

[Keksdiebchen]

Sometimes I cant say what I want more... His Accent or his Drum Skills...

[LaDiEsFaNtAsIeS]

Yes....but will it blend?

[DeepAbsentia]

Now, you see, THAT's a snare.

So sad knowing i'll be back to mine..

[andycole1969]

hahaha 2 keys! Duh! Now why didn't I think of that 20 years ago?

[tambourDOM]

two keys? interesting... sounds practical

[GonzoDrummer27]

Who got all excited when they saw "Gavin Harrison" and "tuning" in the same video title?

[DrummaMan75]

@GonzoDrummer27

hahaha, that's exactly why I tuned in!!!! I wonder if he does the same approach with his toms. His tom sound is gorgeous as well.

[Brinemusic]

@GonzoDrummer27 I did!

[LittleWildman]

Can't believe I met him a few days before (or after), favourite drummer of all time, such a nice guy.

[aaronedgardrum]

AWESOME! I've never seen someone else using the two keys thing, I've been doing that for years! Gavin, you're the man!!

[TheMakyoura]

first don't drop the key

[drumrnva]

@TheMakyoura You notice that he dropped it rhythmically, though. ;)

[RageMachineAgainst]

You are an inspiration, and a hero to me. Thank you for taking time out to do something like this, really really appreciated!
