[juanfecruz]

El ser humano es capaz de hacer las cosas mas horribles, como juzgar, matar o explotar a otros...pero tambien es capaz de hacer las cosas mas bellas, como compartir con los demas alegria y fraternidad, o tener compasion y hasta llegar al sacrificio por amor!!!....a este ultimo grupo pertenecen estos dos brillantes seres humanos!!!!que gran momento me han hecho pasar!!!DIOS los bendiga en todo, de todo y con todo!!

[LoggR84]

Oh my Gavin!

[kjelici9]

guys this is music, not drumming. get over with it! :)

[LoserMcBeaver]

The starting sounded like the PREDATOR.

[jona4151]

Both are talented drummers

[Geeljasjes]

03:10 cool that "Rock It" drum roll.

[drummermil]

Nice finish with the "Spain" groove. Dang!, . . these guys a amazing.

[heuermanpercussion]

Do you have to have coated heads to do that awesome "bwOOOooow" sound Gavin was making at the beginning? I can't get it to work with my Aquarians.

[derek1134]

@heuermanpercussion

I think its a perfectly tuned single-ply and a wet finger!

[rockdahaus]

@derek1134 He use Emperor - 2 ply but the rest is correct.

[CaptainHowdySH]

I don't remember my pants being so tight...

[mikeanelson]

Worlds ahead of Bozzio/Wackerman in terms of duet drumming.

[BigRooster747]

sounds like jim keltner with ry cooder at certain passages (4.30).

[pcs56]

These guys need to do an album.

[therealTOTOfan]

i put this on my headphones and battle along with them as third player :D

[thickpooxbox360]

i dont get it they play really slow and keep going out of time :s

[tambourDOM]

@thickpooxbox360 not really...

[thickpooxbox360]

@tambourDOM dont mean to start comparing drummers but travis barker is a lot faster than these guys

[tambourDOM]

@thickpooxbox360 oh you're one of those types of people

[thickpooxbox360]

@tambourDOM haha no im just takin the piss :P this is incredible!

[MMMfilthy]

@thickpooxbox360 travis barker sux dude wtf check these dudes omg

[thickpooxbox360]

@MMMfilthy sucessful troll is sucessful

[MMMfilthy]

@thickpooxbox360 yes cuz i'm right what retard compares gavin and simon with travis barker, it isn't trolling it's the truth.

[thickpooxbox360]

@MMMfilthy Deaf people do haha

[BigRooster747]

@thickpooxbox360 TRAVIS????????????? AHahahahahahahahahahahaha.

[paice95]

@thickpooxbox360

There are 2 types of drummers: ones who HIT drums, and ones who PLAY drums.

[thickpooxbox360]

@paice95 you cant play drums without hitting them.... unless you use brushes but theyre for people that dont know rudiments...

[paice95]

@thickpooxbox360

you didn't get the point. let me put it this way: everybody can hit hard and play fast, but few people can play dynamically and MUSICALLY

[thickpooxbox360]

@paice95 eh no.... i can play to music really really slow and quiet, but i find it a LOT harder to play fast and heavy, learn your stuff before you comment bro.It's not that hard

[paice95]

@thickpooxbox360

Whatever. I can't see Joey Jordison playing stuff like this. Although I have seen Travis Barker playing some jazz.

[rockdahaus]

@thickpooxbox360 Travis is realy good, but he don´t have the ability to do this! He´s faster than me, and hit´s harder. But Derrek Roddy and Georg Kollias are faster. Tony Royster jr. is faster than Travis. Travis is good, maybe the best Punkdrummer, but nothing on this! There is no best drummer! End of story!

[LoserMcBeaver]

@rockdahaus It's not about speed! It's about precision and how awesome a groove sounds when they play.

[rockdahaus]

@LoserMcBeaver I know this, but that fan of Travis Barker said that Travis is faster and better than Gavin and Simon. As I said to him, the other drummer I've listed are faster than Travis and Travis is realy nothing, in comparison to the this two. Sorry for my bad english, it´s not my mothers tongues

[Frostyyoda]

@rockdahaus

Also doesnt assist in comparison that they are not trying to play fast, how can you compare something which is cross genres as this is, with punk on a small and simple kit. More of depth and completeness of sound and harmony has been produced here.

[rockdahaus]

@Frostyyoda I realy like these kind of drumming! Fast is great too, but this is sooo awesome! A Travis Barker fanboy said that Travis is better and faster than these two. I tryed to say that there faster drummers than Travis, and that he don´t has the ability to do this kind of artdrumming! Look at my channel, i´m not a fency or fast drummer, and the vids i like? Gavin Harrison, Benny Greb, Emmanuelle Capulette, Danny Carey. It´s my bad english that make it difficult to undersatnd me

[Kushnir68]

@thickpooxbox360 there's more time signatures than just 4/4...

[thickpooxbox360]

@Kushnir68 i know but they never sound good. always sound like they starting or finishing too early. sounds pretty nooby

[mrtridente]

@thickpooxbox360 hahaha, wait... You're kidding right?

[Kushnir68]

@thickpooxbox360 anyone can play in 4/4 all the time. These guys have mastered something that tons of pros can't. And watch steve gadd in session samba and tell me he doesnt know rudiments.

[dvt1393]

So this is where babies come from....

[MrTisjeboy]

2:20 look at that! gavin plays the beat while Simon plays the bass drum!

[IratusIratissimus]

@MrTisjeboy Yeah, and he messes up pretty bad as well. The first time I watched the vid I thought gavin had fucked up that part, and was quite relieved when I found out it was Phillip's wrong. To be honest, Simon Phillips performed under his average brilliant standards. This IS pretty hard stuff to play, though.

[menteencoma]

@eqsmooth

I totally agree, you can tell that they took their time to put this together

[eqsmooth]

Gavin looks like Bill Murray met Viggo Mortensen. Simon looks like Simon.

This is a real composition not just kick ass traditional duet trading 8's like you see in clinic.

[mohcenet007]

ahhhhh fort khlas khlaaaaas

[MACOSXSL]

Gavin has a PEARL rack with his donor kit :-O....

Two of my favorite drummers... perfectly tuned kits and a mastery of dynamics.

Simon: he represents a white counterpart to Billy Cobham. Amazing open handed, ambidextrous playing. Gavin represents the next generation in prog drummers. he has all the technical chops, but has a masterful soloing ability and he can groove his ass off.

[MACOSXSL]

@MACOSXSL SONOR KIT damn autocorrect.

[RobbieMcDougall]

@MACOSXSL Hahaha Donor kit! Thats awesome!

[MrGanzon]

Spain @ 3:48 niceeee :)

[logansdrums]

i want to see danny carey and cavin harrison

[BrownBear96]

@logansdrums same here.

[gabo1412]

@logansdrums That would be fucking AMAZING! My 2 favorites together!

[Edwardo1993]

This is fantastic. I bet Gavin Harrison feels honoured to play with one of his all time favourites. I wish i could play with Gavin Harrison someday as he is, for me, my all time great.

[Schwarze1989]

@Edwardo1993 I TOTALLY agree with you!

[pyhtio]

more awesomeness than one should have to to handle at once!

[5555555555retep]

Amazing!
