You know, it seems like a lot of you complain about that stuff from Okay as I read across more and more of these comments. But hey, I just posted the answer to hw to play it so all of you stop whining. BTW... Gavin is better than Travis! Gavin Rules!
@PrinceSmooth Also, Gavin actually has talent and skills, Travis plays drums with raw strength, which professional smooth drumming like Gavin plays is not about. So basically it's just stupid to compare the two, even though Gavin Harrison is the best ;)
@PrinceSmooth You're completely wrong - Travis thinks he's cool because he has tattoos. Gavin is natural, nothing remade with him. By the way, Gavin was voted to be the 3rd best drummer in the last 25 years according to readers of a few drum magazines, (with Travis not even on top 10!)
@afheadra be nice... portnoy has fun playing is instrument, he's a good drummer and his music makes people happy... i think he's not that much different from harrison in those aspects and always remember: musicality before technicality
@c0d3x001 well, yeah youre right, portnoy is good...very good, but it is very overrated, and before was better especially in the under a glass moon. On the other hand, we have gavin harrison, technically speaking, is much better than portnoy and, sadly, almost nobody talks about him.
@afheadra yeah... it really isn't very easy to find out about harrison... if you type in drum solo here on youtube you'll find lot's of things but probably not gavin. I think people should pay more attention to drummers like this. especially because he's a really smart guy too
@euphoricanomaly Haha thats the kind of bite i was after! Gavin is my fave drummer, i know all too well Phil Rudd has nothing on any drummer let alone "The" Gavin harrison
It's a shame when average people think of rock drummers they'll mention Tommy Lee and Travis Barker instead of guys like this. They could never hang with this kind of talent, period.
@thraXn Actually, when you know the sticking, it's really quite simple. All it is is: R - L - R - R - L - Bass Drum (Right - Left - Right - Right - Left - Bass Hit). As for what to be hit, in simplest form it is: Bell - Hi Hat - Ride - Ride - Hi Hat - Bass Hit. Seems complicated, yes, but just practice it. Although there are also those little bells thrown in as well, plus china too, well, you're only making it hard by complaining.
@13KHiHats And I appreciate that a lot! That part just caught my eye where you say I'm complaining. I didn't know the sticking in those parts and I'm absolutely going to practice them. The point was that I really think Gavin is one of my biggest influences when it comes to playing drums and he is a great musician out side the drumming world. I really admire his talent and he just keeps me motivated to practise and play more.
@thraXn I totally agree. It's easy to say that the main reason that I picked up on his drumming was because of his technique of played open hi-hats on the ride patterns. From there, the list of reasons expanded. I can't explain how, but it seems like so often that I pick up on his techniques so quickly, and I never had even realized what I was playing and how advanced it was until I heard it somewhere else. This is all in 2 years time. I went from simple rock to crazy 5/8 because of him.
@thraXn I went from very low-tech drumming to high (very advanced "Gavin Level") drumming in 2 years time. He's quite the inspiration. So much, that I've been practicing that sticking for 15 minutes every day. The last part in Cheating the Polygraph: I just learned the sticking about 3 weeks ago. From then up to now, it's been a major improvement in playing it. Just practice. I owe it to my dad for showing me to Porcupine Tree in the first place. Gavin makes 2 years of intense practice worth it.
it's a good thing he slowed it down for us... it made it easier to catch when my head explodes O_O. I think Gavin's most outstanding attribute is how utterly gracefully he plays these complicated rhythms
it's a good thing he slowed it down... now I could actually catch myself going crazy O_O I think Gavin's outstanding attribute is how utterly gracefully he plays.
@harpazo1 Man, you can use it anywhere you like! The last beat he presented in this video, I use quite a lot actually in metal drumming. It gives a really nice edge to the music (:
@slashsdevil I'm soooooooooo trying to find the part where he gets boring, or fail, or drags/rushes the time (unpurposely)....I'm sure it's there, somewhere.....
I'm a total guitarist, can't and don't play drums...but I LOVE watching great drummers play, sometimes just patterns alone give me ideas (or force me into something)
Great MUSICIAN. This part from 1:10 is just like mbalax/ sabar drumming from Senegal. The kick drum is playing a lead-in note to the bell, which is on 1, not speaking to the snare on 3. He's actually playing the bass line & using the kit melodically not mechanically. In sabar drumming the hand playing bass tone on the sabar or djembe does the same thing. His left hand is filling-in lovely "ghost notes" on whatever he feels like hearing. He's is a real artist
reg people cant understand how awesome this is. their brains cant follow the awesomeness of gavin. so they choose easier listening instead. like blink 182. lol
what stupid question. Travis Barker plays not drum to crappy guitar riffs like them. His Drum-Lines are just awesome and perfect. He has style like the construction of his drum. He is in a awesome band called blink 182. What you want more? btw, this guy isn't that good. There are lots of drummer like him, but not like Travis. This guy just thinks hes cool because of his drum with many toys to play.
@PrinceSmooth and drumming is about being cool? this drummer is extreamly creative and talented, he thinks about what he's playing and puts his soul into it, travis is just a run of the mill drummer who got famous because he's in a shitty pop punk band that appeals to the mainstreem who know nothing about real music ans talent
@PrinceSmooth You seem to be the type of guy that judges a drummer based upon what clothes he wears and how many cool tattoos he has, because I believe it to be impossible to determine that Travis Barker has a better musical style than Gavin and others of the same caliber. I don't think Travis knows of any other timing than 4/4. He just tries to make it come off like he's doing something grand when he's not.
PrinceSmooth, It's people like you that ruin Barker's name. Barker got more style? Please. Gavin is beyond comparison to Barker both in style and rhythm, but that doesn't mean you have to be a sore loser to not accept it. Barker got passion for drumming and I like THAT. For everyone who says Barker got famous because of the mainstream, yes he did get famous for it. But are we criticizing for what he is, or are we criticizing him cause some idiots brought him up to compare with ppl like Gavin?
@PrinceSmooth lol. You're funny. There is so much wrong with your post I don't even know where to start. But you can start by learning a thing or two about music :p
@dudemon321 Not NEARLY famous enough. People need to stop dickriding Neil Peart so much (he is one of the best though) and give Gavin drummer of the year.
@johnthecoolestkid because most people have no idea what determines what seperates a good drummer from a great drummer. Average kids like barker. Musicians and drummers like harrison.
@johnthecoolestkid 'cause travis barker isn't a real drummer like gavin, instead of that, he's just a circus man rolling his sticks and doin' the things that the people want,.. but gavin is GOD
@johnthecoolestkid Because, sadly, those with great talent that create music or art rarely produce much that is comforting, familiar, or pleasureable to the masses. To achieve fame & fortune in the music business, you must think & remain inside the box. Lower your personal standards and cater to the lowest common denominator. Take Lady GaGa for example, an incredibly talented pianist / vocalist, but puts out "crap pop" to achieve fame & fortune. Someday she'll show her true ability & talents. ;)
@johnthecoolestkid Cause drummers that suck typicaly seem to know more people to get out there. Same with Mike Portnoy and Danny Carey man.. Not so many people know them but there all incredible
also, if you're really interested in the concepts explained on those dvd's, you should definitely get the books (rhythmic illusions & rhythmic perspectives. they may not be as entertaining as the dvds, but they have much more info on the subjects explained on the dvds.
bad volume leveling....i can barely hear what he says but the drum parts are very loud.. so i had to continuously adjust the volumes on my speakers =( .. but good vid though
i know he usually uses 13s with porcupine tree usually, but i also know he has several dozens of cymbals. if you pause at 0:55, it looks the same as the snare and first floor tom (both 14 inch) so i was assuming it was 14
Hmm. Not really. It's like, someone who is phenomenal at mathematical equations would get bored with 2+1=3 it's the same with music. This type of music is so much fun to play and listen to and be a part of.
As always - it's great to hear/watch Gavin's playing, but I wish I could get both of his albums with 05ric as instrumental only. (not a fan of his voice)
it does fit. To feel that try playing sixteenths triplets in a slow tempo. Dave Weckl, as a king of triplets, uses these things in his music a lot. I like it.

also, if you're really interested in the concepts explained on those dvd's, you should definitely get the books (rhythmic illusions & rhythmic perspectives. they may not be as entertaining as the dvds, but they have much more info on the subjects explained on the dvds.

does anybody know what hi-hat he's using in this video?
is it 13 or 14"? im not really sure but it looks 14 to me
and is it regular k hats? or custom? i'm not sure :x

@miniatureface 13" regular Ks!
vinnierebocco 2 years ago
@vinnierebocco
you sure?
i know he usually uses 13s with porcupine tree usually, but i also know he has several dozens of cymbals. if you pause at 0:55, it looks the same as the snare and first floor tom (both 14 inch) so i was assuming it was 14
not too sure though
but thanks!

@Lesstra it's the same "Sonor SQ2 Tribal" wood veneer as the rest of the drums.

Hmm. Not really. It's like, someone who is phenomenal at mathematical equations would get bored with 2+1=3 it's the same with music. This type of music is so much fun to play and listen to and be a part of.

As always - it's great to hear/watch Gavin's playing, but I wish I could get both of his albums with 05ric as instrumental only. (not a fan of his voice)

The drumming he does from 1:10 doesn't fit with the music at all for me ._.
FaithIsAccidental 2 years ago
it does fit. To feel that try playing sixteenths triplets in a slow tempo. Dave Weckl, as a king of triplets, uses these things in his music a lot. I like it.
Sanyadr 2 years ago
No I mean it just doesn't go with the music at all.
