one of the best drum solo i have ever heard !!! amazing !!! i like when the drummer uses in the solo great chops, grooves and ostinato like gary !!! simply fantastic !!
@XDrummerSteve 1993 ... novak was 24 years there ... he´s definitely best drummer and drum chops thinker ever !!!!!!!!!!!! everything in his play is original
I went to college with Gary and he is a natural. Extremely musical. And if you think he is underrated as a drummer, check out his dad's (Larry Novak) piano playing. talk about underrated. Great musicians, and the nicest people you'd ever want to meet.

this is an example on how ridiculous drumming has become. just a chaotic mindless overtechnical speed chase: its a race to the finish...just fucking ridiculous
Gary Novak is mind blowing! If ever I thought that to be good enough to play the drums, I had to be as good as he, I would never even think of picking up the sticks. It's almost a consolation to know that almost nobody is THAT good so there's still room for cats like me (although I do work at getting better every day, Novak is a drumming genius!)
As a bass player / guitarist who loves playing drums I have listened to drummers my whole life. There's so many great drummers out there who amaze me but Gary Novac is the drummer I wish I was. When I hear drumming in my head this is the general direction of what I hear... I can't play it all. I love emotional drummers who have huge chops...and that's what Gary is. And to my ears he had great taste. I lve his work with Holdsworth especially.
ok so Gary Novak should be more "popular" like Colaiuta or Royster or Weckl, awesome feeling and some amazing beats I'd never heard before.

Well, nothing real original, fast alright, but where are the Gary Novak licks?
These are just high school kid licks played at warp speed
No depth
