I am not a drummer but I could listen to this guy talk all day long

@emir_cello 2 года назад

True!

I used to watch and listen to this dude before I became a drummer

@i_am_that_dreamer 2 года назад

Listening to him talk about the philosophy of drumming has changed how I approach the instrument. He is a purist through and through and I really appreciate that about him. I used to be super into gospel chops, but now I can barely stand them because they all sound identical to each other. No individuality. What I have really grown to appreciate is seeing a gospel chops guy play time in a different genre and use their chops in that situation. Much more musical and beautiful than just listening to people beat the drums to death. Gavins song "19 days" is one of the most beautiful performances I have ever heard on the drums. In my mind that song is what sets Gavin above the crowd and shows his genius.

And play all day long Alex....

@beepst Год назад

He and Steven Wilson have this quality of entertaining by just talking. I guess it's a Porcupine Tree thing.

@Prizzy999 Год назад

I like Gavin's take on life as it's exactly mine. Life's too short to do things that don't make you happy and that you don't need to do; happiness is not about success but about living the moment, while you're doing what you enjoy and the feeling of contentment and fullfilment it gives you as a consequence. This man is a glorious drummer, a gentleman, a smart person and also very handsome. He's got the full package, amazing.

1 minute in and I remember immediately why I like Gavin since a long time! Thank you for your honesty in this one! 1:00 but what if you're not good at being an actor? I think that has made my career quite difficult and in the end I decided to make music as a hobby instead.

@Unibabble 2 года назад

Gavin is so completely down to earth, and he is SUCH a good drummer - his porcupine tree stuff is just terrific, not just technically, but his parts are in total service to the song. He's the very best kind of musician, IMO.

@taunokekkonen5733 2 года назад

I've always felt thst Anesthetize is a song composed for a drummer :)

@viewsfromthebar5131 2 года назад

Ticket already booked. Hope you enjoy them when you see them.

@mojojojo6852 2 года назад

This person is so sympathetic. I love how he's so calm and collected. He tosses out anecdotes and touches on negative sides ever so slightly but never with any regret or anger.

@martinbroten9467 2 года назад

Interesting that Bill Bruford went through the same realization about drum clinics later in his career. After seeing the super-technical and super-fast players, he too realized "this is not what I do" and stopped doing clinics.

@billbart6201 2 года назад

Truly a easy going logical man. His describing Chick Corea really grabbed my soul. Reverance to a master pianist closer. Also Gavin the professional very grounded. Thank you Mr.Harrison

@dr.strange.2655 2 года назад

I love this guy. Amazing drummer and human being.

@NolikargAven 2 года назад

he is absolutely incredible, also as a human being

@NathanRohr 2 года назад

Been drumming for almost 25 years...this was so very much what I needed when I found it. Amazing interview; his way with words are commensurate with his way with drums.

@amarok5048 Год назад

Gavin is not just an amazing drummer and my all-time favourite, but he improves every song or piece he plays on exponentially.

@Baz63 2 года назад

for me the best rock drummer and his album 'Cheating The Polygraph' is a stunning big band re-interpretation of Porcupine Tree's music. So glad the band is back as i think Gavin's work with King Crimson, although superb, is not for me as i think the 3 drummer line-up is just a gimmick. Of course Buddy Rich remains 'The Governor'.

@geraldmellon740 2 года назад

Great to hear Gavin's comments on drum clinics - I think he is absolutely right.

@davidbrodlie 2 года назад

His comments about drum clinics are spot on! I’ve been to several and yes, a lot of impressive players were there. But I rarely learned anything that would improve my playing.

@pomat22 2 года назад

15:42 i guesss that's what happened with Pineapple Thief

@timwhite5647 2 года назад

Really cool interview. Kind of makes me wonder how he would fit in the Steve Morse and the Dixie Dregs circa 1976-78. They used a lot of country/polka rhythms, but there was also a lot of jazz fusion. I was always impressed by Rod Morgenstein's syncopation and odd time signatures(i.e. Country House Shuffle), but perhaps being a Brit, Gavin might have had a hard time being a Dixie Dreg.

@nemozack3767 2 года назад

You must listen to Dear Alice, as he mantions here, of Chick Corea to understand why Steve Gadd is Gavin's hero. Incredibile performance by Steve Gadd... and you even understand where some inspiration of Gavin's drums come from.

@nicolagirardi6377 2 года назад

Beautiful interview! I almost laugh when he said he feels nervous before a clinic o a drum festival...I mean you are Gavin Harrison! How could you be nervous?! (Ironically)

@DavidOakesMusic 2 года назад

Because he's not a blazing fast / tech chops guy. That's what people think is amazing nowadays. Not a nice groove or a nice polyrhythm. No SPEED AND WOW... Chris Coleman is obviously an amazing drummer - but I get bored watching him after like 10 seconds.

@dcairol 2 года назад

Such a mature musician.

@Boatzerama 2 года назад

Saw him recently with The Pineapple Thief. They were on the first song and heard someone behind me saying to their friend ‘’he’s a really good drummer’’

@edkriegedrumming 2 года назад

if it's possible to convey to gavin: i had a terrible case of tinnitus a few years ago. i have a good friend who is a long-time practitioner of Chinese Traditional Medicine (herbs and acupuncture). i no longer have tinnitus. if gavin can find someone who is well-trained in TCM, he might want to give it a try.

@Sugarsail1 Год назад

I had a 26" Gretsch bass drum and it was hard to play (super sloppy head) but BOOOOMY as fuck. I really needed a LONGER beater to make it play to its potential. I should have sold it to Gavin.

@hugorezende199 Год назад

Seriously that he never been forced to play in a simple 3 piece kit? Dude how is that a choice? I just cannot believe hahaha. Seriously, Gavin is so interesting on his toughts about music and drumming, he is really not just a player. He is a musical thinker and true artist.

@yes_head 2 года назад

The world needs more musicians like Gavin. I would have KILLED to see him play with Chick Corea.

@larshollstein9552 2 года назад

Question: I am @ 10:00 ish! Is he talking about having fun playing drums at some point? Or is it just about no need for money or fame anymore?

@edgenovese 2 года назад

Music is about reflection~ your honesty is so rich and true. You've never stopped being a musician to become stage show! Bravo! God's speed and blessing with your Tinnitus... You deserve to have your hearing,, thank you for your great contribution to music and drumming!

@d___c____5604 11 месяцев назад

@ramaalhussami3070 Год назад

@williamkjwilliamkj1815 2 года назад

That Latin syncopation from Chick always did it for me. Illusions...What a phenomenal song. Looking forward to seeing PT in 2022. Gavin is the best.

@ikkenhisatsu7170 2 года назад

Obviously he's a top-tier drummer, but he comes across as very insightful and kind. He had several opportunities to say something bad about people in the interview, but he was always respectful and diplomatic. After drumming for over 50 years myself, he was a goldmine of good music and inspiration when I finally came across his work.

@gvoskin 2 года назад

I’ve been blessed to see him in a relatively tiny venue with Pineapple Thief and months later, Porcupine Tree at Radio City just a week ago. I can honestly say that as unmusical as I am, he single-handedly inspired me to pick up sticks. He’s one the most thoughtfully gifted, brilliant musicians who elevates the music without overwhelming it. I’m obsessed with his sound, his style, his mindset. Before him, there was only Danny Carey for me. But the past 15 years has revolved around his sound. Absolute Savage skill and talent. True gem.

@pacoside1092 2 года назад

Cheating the Polygraph is a masterpiece to a Big Band, Fusion Jazz and Prog music fan like me. Really exciting and the drummer is so on point. Thank you Gavin for it.

@metallicarocks911 2 года назад

This guy is as much as a gentleman as an innovative drummer of our generation. I once reached out to him personally in terms of his drumming and his gear, and he took the time to reach back to me. Nothing but respect for him and his craft.

Agreed - I’ve been fortunate to see them on their last two tours. Absolutely spell binding. A couple of hours of amazingly intense and musical performances. I’ve made the comment elsewhere: If I could see them once a month I don’t think I’d ever get tired of hearing them.

3:15 Gavin Harrison: "ridiculous enormous drumsets" 🙄 Terry Bozzio: 🤔

@i_am_that_dreamer 2 года назад

I think Gavin would probably agree with you and admit that it's not about all people who play big sets. I've listened to a lot (all) of his interviews online and he really despises gimmicky drumming, which is what I think he meant. But he loves originality and musical drumming, which bozzio definitely is. I would put money on this... I am pretty confident that he would not say that about bozzio. I could be wrong, though.
