Gavin Harrison, Drummer with Porcupine Tree demos the new KORG 2009 WaveDrum WD-X

[danielalien]

how the hell does that thing work??? Why aren't we discussing that and not Gavin?

[Plaswuff]

Sounds like something off My Life in The Bush Of Ghosts.

[mystikrhythms61]

Hell, Gavin could pull something amazing out of a garbage can lid, a frisbee and a piece of firewood...

[flavy1000]

This machine is great..but..the sounds he gets from his real cymbals when he plays them by nearly touching aside..will never be with this...I can only imagine his kinda "deception " ajaja

[dlo693]

This reminds me of Bill Bruford when he had his Simmons electric kit back in the 80's. He and Gavin here really know how to make good use of electronic drums. Prog on, you great drummers, and keep on innovating!!!

[BlackbodyAbsorber]

@fortress8

Gavin would agree with you, as do I.

Although he uses this thing, sparingly, he swears by acoustics. (drums)

@XDrummerSteve Damn strait!

@LatinSkinz

First:

@opethbloodbath Defined U in his/her post

Second: follow

@drummer42065's instructions and rotate...

[rushfan80]

@ emu69emu...HE SURE IS! MERCY!

[Blackmark456]

damn, but thats cool!

[XDrummerSteve]

This guy could play a shoe and make it sound like a musical instrument.

[wuckle]

@XDrummerSteve  that is the best thing I've heard in ages....and so true lol.

[emu69emu]

That man is good lookin!

[fortress8]

you cant beat real drums and percussion

[MissAismail]

Drums king

[batakofuckingrulez]

GAVIN BRUFORD!!!

[orphanedlars]

would you guys stop comparing Danny and Gavin each one has his own different style of playing ....

but to be honest gavin would kick Danny`s ass in 5 minutes

thnx god for Gavin :D

[TigerTaint]

kind of gimmicky. i'd be surprised if Gavin was actually blown away by this thing.

[Mattn4040]

@TigerTaint yeah he owns one of the original Korg Wavedrums, he's actually a keen fan of them

[jcbear08]

cool

[sharpshooter6666]

1:50 burn nine inch nails

[qpa69]

hummm... useless... dont know why gavin harrison accepted to promote this thing

[drummer42065]

Whoever things Gavin Harrison sucks at drumming needs to go impale them-self with a drum stick

[VideoRepeater]

@drummer42065

first look he's other videos then give your opion

[drummer42065]

@VideoRepeater my last comment was confusing, but i was defending gavin saying he is an amazing drummer.

[boibad12]

i dont understand how this works

[opethbloodbath]

whoever thinks gavin harrison is not an amazing drummer is obviously an uneducated, stubburn idiot that most likely has no talent whatsoever and should learn to respect talent rather than be a fucking idiot that obviously knows nothing about music and should just shut their mouth because they are failures

[jackpaice]

simply amazing!

[LatinSkinz]

your name says it all, a moron like you would enjoy this crap.

[LatinSkinz]

silly, non-music. a video of an effects machine played by an average drum kit player.

[Smackenzieth]

sorry, but gavin has a impressive technical stye of playing. and yes you are very observant arent you? yes that is a effects machine very good^^

you can call it silly but hes still an impressive drummer thats where you messed up

[LatinSkinz]

yeah it's still crap... isn't it.

case closed

[deadpisser88]

Non-music? Ignorant comment.

[OnizukaProductions]

"I leave a negative comment so I'm cool because I show myself as a badass."

Seriously, a critic should think about what he/she is going to say, affirming Gavin Harrison is an average drum kit player is one of the most stupid things I've read/heard/saw ever.

You've just got a CLAP! FAIL.

[LatinSkinz]

2007 called, they want their idiotic cliche - "fail" back.

This video still sucks. It's not musical, it's not even interesting. Any 7th grader could tap this crap out. The real point is that 99.% of kit drummers aren't real musicians so judging by the curve I guess you morons think he's in the top .01 percentile of drummers. who cares? no one.

[PoeticJustice05]

Right, drummers aren't real musicians. They're just the retard sitting behind the kit making random noises.

"Any 7th grader could tap this crap out."

I suppose then that you think a 7th grader knows how to play all the time signatures that Gavin plays along to here? Or do you really think he's just tapping random notes?

[OnizukaProductions]

It looks like you didn't even read what I wrote, I didn't even drag the Wave Drum in. What I told before is as clear as spring water.

Speaking of which, he won the "best progressive drummer of the year" readers' poll from 2007 to 2009 and it's bright he was called because he's popular, liked and known to be skilled.

You can keep that FAIL, seriously.

[jeppekibsgaard]

I met GH twice backstage in DK :)

[RuiZKRuspe666]

@jeppekibsgaard I met GH too, but In Portugal in November

[BCDPRODUCTIONS1234]

I think Danny Carey from Tool is gonna check this out

[Trgamemas]

He already has one I believe

[astroandyborgloh]

Well maybe, but I think his Mandala Pads are still better than these things.

@Drumboy81: Even more than that: he is one of the best!

[Blackmark456]

@BCDPRODUCTIONS1234 Just thinking that myself....some very Tool-ish things available on this here pad....

[gtheduke]

@BCDPRODUCTIONS1234 I'm not too sure how sarcastic your comment was intended to be (damn internetz and their lack of intonation), but FYI, Danny Carey helped design the Synesthesia Mandala Drums which, as far as I know, the Wavedrum is based off of.

...*the more you knowwwwww...*

Peace!

[Drumboy81]

Why the strange short echo-thing on every sound?

Is it because of some latency between the stage monitorsound and line-in sound? Or what's going on?

Still, Gavin Harrison is amazing! :D

[Jimkemon]

I can definately see Aphex Twin getting one of these things.

[iantoau]

he wouldn't have the slightest idea what to do with it. give it to a tabla player.

[tablaninja]

I agree, give it to a tabla player!!! I promise to go completely nuts with this thing!

[Geffreyvdbos]

That's pretty nifty!

[CheesyStranger]

He kinda looks like Liam Neeson from Batman Beings in that black suit. :P

Also, not unlike Mr. Neeson, he possesses a great deal of artistic talent.

[DerNeich]

amazing!!!

[bassmanjoe]

Love it!!! Very cool!!!

[Acidmetric]

Gavin is a truly genius.

[FictionSmurf]

how much is that thing? i guess very expensive

[Porcupinetrain]

Gavin is the best drummer in the world!

[FoxtronInk]

@Porcupinetrain Gavin and Bill Bruford are.......The best drummers of King Crimson

[SuperCandy3000]

@Porcupinetrain actually, he was voted the second in the world, after Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson) but I think he is going to become soon the best!

[Theseventhknight]

@SuperCandy3000 ...dude Gavin was in King Crimson. He's the bomb.

[alexdmc4]

@Porcupinetrain No, is better Joey

[MAGNVZ666]

@Porcupinetrain yes indeed my friend....

[szabiakanich]

Fantastic stuff. Looks like a great instrument. And Gavin rocks as always.
