  • Do the beaters on his bass drum pedals light up?!

  • is so easy º_º'

  • Employ Gavin more, he does a phenomenal job explaining things and he really knows what he is doing.

  • Chuck Norris died trying it.

SKNAHT!.....

  • 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!

  • Typical Robert Fripp guitar riff

  • 1 Dislike?!? That's insane. Justin Bieber really needs to get over himself. He obviously can't do this!

  • I just can't get over the "Okay" pattern.

  • @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!)

  • I DARE THAT TRAVIS BARKER BITCH TO PLAY WHAT GAVIN HARRISON PLAYS HERE AT 1:09!

    Man, some people can't tell the difference between a REAL MUSICIAN and an average simple DRUM HITTER!

  • quit bringing travis barker up in every fucking drum video on youtube.

  • ok, imagin how he would play like if he had tenticals, though it seem that he hides them somewhere...

  • 1:40 That's got to be the smoothest double-bass-chop I've ever heard!

  • 1:15......WOW

  • @phishinvan its like when you're fighting a boss battle and there's some insane boss move that kills you instantly and you're just like o.O

  • wel,l that slowing things down tecnique really didnt help me it´s still impossible to get it right ^^

  • I have the same ride cymbal....it is seriously good....perfect... K0817 series ride...get one u will love it.

  • Guys like Gavin remind me of how much of a musician I am not..

  • That is the nicest sounding snare I have ever heard :) It makes me happy :)

  • 1:10 is fucking amazing

  • The 9/8 - 5/8 is just AMAZING!!! Rhythmically and musically!!

  • @collision1974 --The beginning is 23/8 (9,9,5)...and it is amazing. Also amazing is the 5/8-3/4 chorus, how do they think this shiznit up?

  • I "think" the slow down bit is a 6 stroke roll?

    ... don't hold me to that though ;) lol

  • @drummer4thefreaks Wow... the more i listen to it, the more i seem to understand it.... lol

    the pattern is in 6.

    a paradiddle-diddle with the last hit on the kick instead of with the hand.

    its like,

    r-l-r-r-l-k

    obviously r=right hand, l=left hand, and k=kick

  • I was like WHAT THE F even after he 'tried' to slow down a bit...! hahahah..

    as a drummer... I feel that his videos provide invaluable knowledge...!

    \m/

  • "I'll just slow it down a bit for you" ...I still don't get it lol

  • ...Mike Portnoy

  • @Godsmackpwnsurass mike portnoy is a children with spoons compared with gavin.

  • @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

  • The only drummer I've heard that can make 23/8 time sound so groovy. I'd love to see some pussy ass rock band drummer attempt that shit.

    @paulhab12 -- you've got to be fucking kidding me. AC/DC sucks, always have, always will.

  • @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

  • Could you slow it down like, a thousands times more please?

  • Phil rudd is wayy better like serious

  • 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.

  • "I just slow it down a bit for you." and it has still the "WTF" in it.

  • @thraXn it's slow for him maybe. while we're just eating his dust... hate gavin harrison. he's too damn good :)

  • @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.

  • Comment removed

  • @13KHiHats You have point in there but it's totally new story to learn how to play it in a pocket.

  • @thraXn I'm just trying to be a bit of help is all.

  • @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.

  • @thraXn right!!

  • @thraXn your goal should be to set each of your limbs on a sort of auto-drive feature. Watch his eyes, you can see him set up each limb accordingly.

  • @brianmusson And that's just called independence. :)

  • Kinda like a less metal more groove version of Sean Reinert. Very very very good though.

  • 1:10 he turns it way the fuck up

  • impossible to watch a gavin harrison video and NOT be impressed...

  • 1:18

    amazing

    just

    wow.

  • It seemed more plausible when he was playing it fast!

  • now i know why he plays in king crimson he's just too good for butt rock bands

  • 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.

  • 1:28 - "I'll just slow it down a bit for you"

    Errr, would you Gavin? Yeah I think that would help a lot !

    This guy never ceases to amaze. The snare sound is sublime, the tom tuning is sublime, the technique is...............sublime

    I'm running out of adjectives and I've only used one !

  • okay. so this is why they invented these three words!

    WHAT THE FUCK!

  • "as best I could" so that would be the best anyone ever will be able to. Fuck me he's modest.

  • Even though Gavin is way more talented and plays with much more skill, Travis Barker´s drumming is pretty decent in my opinion..

  • Very, very cool beat! Unfortunately, I can't use any of it where I play. Great drummer!! Love the sound of the mix too!

  • @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 (:

  • FUCK TRAVIS BARKER FUCK TRAVIS BARKER FUCK TRAVIS BARKER FUCK TRAVIS BARKER FUCK TRAVIS BARKER FUCK TRAVIS BARKER FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK TRAVIS BARKER.

  • I now realize WHY this guy is playing in King Crimson.

  • did you see the part where he didnt even try and kicked our asses?

  • @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.....

  • fuggin killer

  • 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)

  • lol. thats all im going to put. L O L

  • absurd

  • hes from another planet

  • normally I really understand drum patterns (mike portnoy's for example) but I do not understand Gavins!

  • @NeedHeadMusic Gavins quite a few levels ahead of Portnoy as far as complexity goes, thats for sure.

  • You actually have to be a drummer to understand the complexity of his playing. Everyone else will just say "the drummer sounds good".

    An amazing talent.

  • Of course, he is ridiculously creative, but he also has the technical skill that no one else has.

  • Thats is what complete control looks like :D

  • 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

  • HOLY SHIT 1:10 XD

  • how'd travis barker get famous over this guy?

  • @johnthecoolestkid

    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

  • @johnthecoolestkid haha EXACTLY. who knows...

  • @PrinceSmooth are you serious?

  • @fergdrumgus

    of course dude

  • @PrinceSmooth ok, im gessing your a troll then or and idiot or both

  • @fergdrumgus

    rofl, tell me what's special about it. Travis has absolutly more style. just because this guy changes the rhythm he isn't cooler

  • @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

  • @PrinceSmooth Words cannot express your ignorance...unless you were kidding and this is a mean joke.

  • @PrinceSmooth You suck, Gavin is the ultimate drummer. Travis drums so that he can ignore the fact he's on his period all the time.

  • @beatcrazy14 that's a statement of a jealous idiot.

  • @johnthecoolestkid gavin harrison is famous

  • @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 fortunatley musical talent isnt measured by fame alone. 

  • @johnthecoolestkid I'd guess, the tatoos. :/

  • @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 Thats a VERY good question!.

  • @johnthecoolestkid hahahha .

  • @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 lol, yeah no shit

  • @johnthecoolestkid because the music he drums to is awful. he is incredible though

  • @johnthecoolestkid Some people like simple things. I'm not saying Barker is not a good drummer, but he is way over hyped on his skills.

  • @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 tatoos...

  • @johnthecoolestkid by playing a more commercial type of music that is easy to listen to without thinking, that gets lots of radio play.

  • @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

  • @johnthecoolestkid haha with you there! sure travis is kinda fast, i guess hes solid but nothing new

  • @johnthecoolestkid More tats.

  • @johnthecoolestkid because travis barker streaks. lol

  • @johnthecoolestkid whos travis barker??....

  • @johnthecoolestkid becuz travis has tattoos and a lip ring and has a nice shiny kit... appeal to beginners.

  • @themindfuck Yeah and his probably more concerned about how he looks with his shirt off then his drumming...

  • Gavin rules

  • He is amazing!! How does he play so well and hold his stick so far back?

  • works for him best i suppose

  • @SupermansWheelchair1

    Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice. :)

  • I've taken into consideration all the comments, and I still feel the screwdriver in my ear

  • @kingpin8393 then please don't listen to it anymore

  • Good point!!

  • Gavin is a genius!!

  • What is the bass drum skin?

  • Why are you listening then?? Gavin rules!!

  • I do. It's not simply just complicated...everything the man does is for the music.

  • Hey, which one do you guys think i should get first?

    Horizons or Visions?

    thanks

  • visions, then horizons

  • 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.

  • The most creative drummer out there.

  • @spacitydrummer4JC

    no doubt....killer drummer and musician...Virgil too!

  • @spacitydrummer4JC

    with Thomas Lejon (Andromeda / A.C.T )

  • @spacitydrummer4JC Try martin mendez too

  • 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

  • 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

    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!

  • Of all the great , inspiring drummers out there today, Gavin is my favouirite. A brilliant player and musician...

  • 1:10 holy shit...

  • can someone tell me is this steel shell snare? it looks like one, but maybe it's just finish... I know he prefers wooden snares.

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

  • ah, ok... because at the moment i thought it was 14x5 artist black steel shell, kinda looks like it

  • the god, MY god of prog rock.

  • Holy crap! What a genius, a true virtuoso!

  • cool

  • 1:12

    WHOOOOOT

  • the groove from 1:12 is awesome!!

  • hes like the best dude behind the drumest.

  • porra q som q afinação , animallll

  • lol hes playing the axis pedals :D

  • He's good but this kind of music is like taking a screwdriver to the ear canal

  • this music is not for everyone...

  • Ya this is a style you grow into.

  • 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)

  • oh i hear you on that, i thought about the same when i heard that stuff, totally in love with the music, the vocals are great just not my style.

  • I want that snare sound SO BAD

  • The drumming he does from 1:10 doesn't fit with the music at all for me ._.

  • 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.

  • No I mean it just doesn't go with the music at all.

  • i think it fit great.

  • @FaithIsAccidental .....maybe you dont understand compound rhythms .....
