Best drummer in the world.

Prog Drummer!!! I hate to hear when they label people like that. Gavin is just a great drummer who can play anything!!!!

@thispagesux you're right that that's annoying, but maybe you should invest in some headphones :-P

im watching this late, my family are asleep and i have to keeping killing the volume every time the music plays. could you either balance the audio or just quit doing it all together. it's really annoying. someone should have a word with the simpleton who edits these videos, thank you.

@harmonicminorshred Hell, don't feel too bad. Paramore came to a small venue near me last year, but I saw Them Crooked Vultures instead (if I already told you, deal). Now Josh+Zac left and I feel stupid that I actually had 2 opportunities too see the original lineup. And last night I found out my friend saw them live at that first gig (she was wearing the goddamn T-shirt) and I said "FUCK YOU!!!!!!" Of coarse I was exaggerating, but meh :(

@ScorpionWing16 You can never be too much into a band. I've never seen them because both times they came to Australia, they didn't come to my city. The second time they came, I was going to fly to Sydney to see them, but they were playing the exact same weekend as my best friends 21st. And fuck me, I know what it's like seeing a band when you don't know them, then later on realizing you were watching something awesome (happened to me with Paramore). Absolutely kicking myself.

@harmonicminorshred Yep. It was before I knew them, I'd had a painfully busy day, I fell asleep in my seat. About a week later I got realllllllly into them and now I'm mad at myself. Dammit. But hey, I stayed awake through Blackfield. I haven't been a fan that long, but obviously I'm waaaaaaaay too into them, if that's even possible.

@ScorpionWing16 Sarp nigga. Not much. So have you seen these guys live before?

[ScorpionWing16]

@harmonicminorshred Forty seven?! Shit dude, he looks early 30s. Oh hey we talked before, sup.

[harmonicminorshred]

So he started playing when he was six. He's fourty-seven now. No wonder he's so fucking good - he's been playing drums for more than fourty years! And he still looks young!
