Gavin Harrison's Favourite Sticking (Drum Lesson) 

Haha Underrated xD? Good joke. With the rest i can fully agree

Not really underrated

@@0thcentury Maybe unheard of by some, but never underrated by anyone who's heard him.

yeah love this kit too :o

Hearthstone rep

Sonors can even make zildjian sound decent.

S hoops make a big difference

Mark S ouch

Haha But you can hear him use it a damn lot, in earlier work as well

2:29 is the legendary fill in "fear of the blank planet", released more than 10 years ago. I believe it would be one of his favourites back then too

Also this sticking is the cool fill in Sound of Muzak, at guitar center sessions, at 3:49... Ok time to stop.

Bruce Lee once told:"I fear not the man who had practiced 10000 kicks once, but I fear the man who practiced one kick 10000 times." That's how Gavin mastered this pattern. And this is just one of many "kicks" that he played more than 10000 times.

He qualified it as “one of his favorite stickings”

lol

Pffffff

I lol'd at that

wow you nailed it, usually people write "Hm." but he actually says "nh"

Omg.... you are in for a treat if you seek out his work. I'd suggest the albums In Absentia, Deadwing, Fear of a Blank Planet and The Incident. I'm jealous... I wish I could go on that journey for the first time again! This guy's work is a great study in being very clever but tasteful, with insanely good chops and groove. No one plays fills like this guy.

Thanks for the info Matt!

Thanks for those, Tony! Amazing player! Was this at a clinic? (I'm wondering because he's by himself onstage playing to tracks)

Never heard of Gavin Harrison; where have you been living, in a cave? LOL

Is that sticking 16th note triplets with the kicks at the end being 32nd notes?

Yes. The first two bars are 16th note triplets. Since note 6 of the triplet contains a double kick, yes 32nds.

Thanks.

@@fuzzylogiceire ; it WouldSeem to be so! The double kicks at the end would be two 32nd. Notes Played in the allotted time for one 16th.note. The challenge is to get those double bass drum notes in time: in meter and keeping the notes clean and sharp like he does! That’s the way I look at it anyway! Maybe sliding the foot Forwards (heal up Slightly) towards the drum head for the two 32nd. Notes!

You just have to see and hear the qualitative leap that Porcupine Tree made from the entry of Gavin into the band to realize the excellent drummer that is Gavin Harrison, and I say it without detracting at all from the work that Chris Maitland did but is that Gavin is on another level.

PINK LLOYD you guys are here just to disagree with others. gavin harrison is both creative, fluent, has groove and catches up with the rythm. if you want to call drummers who cant catch up with rythm, doesn’t sound catchy and is boring the best you can. you may also call their music “progressive” but in fact there is no depth and they’re just boring

@Sargoy Of Mossad listen I'm not the biggest Virgil fan ever, but to say he's overrated is a joke, he's literally a genius!

One of definitely in the context of objectivity.

Galvin is easily the most groovyest

Batter side on the kick drum is a Powerstroke 3 :)

Think I managed to work out the pitches for the toms, definitely wanna try this out! High to low: A#3 D#3 A#2 F#2 C#2

There's some factors not to take for granted though, a German made Sonor, high quality microphones, great audio engineer etc.

He said in some video that he uses de remo vintage emperor coated heads for the toms😅 dont remember which one

So Gavin deserves the grammy then 😉

no kidding. he's got some mojo for sure.

I'm pretty sure it's a tape. ;)

King...crimson?

Start by removing the faster idea. A drummer's primary task is to play something musical that makes a song feel good. Work on keeping good time. When you hear a drummer such as Gavin play, remember that he has been playing a long time and in that time he has built, not only his groove and time keeping, but like any language, his chops. Another word for chops is vocabulary. As a baby, we learned "ma", "da", "ba" and other basic sounds. Soon full words, then short phrases, sentences and eventually complex thoughts. By the time you are 25, your vocabulary is huge. By the time you are 40 it's not only bigger but your understanding of deeper thought allows a much more comfortable use of the language. Playing is the same. I don't mean you have to wait until 40 to play well but patience is your friend. Keep practicing, keep learning your rudiments and get comfortable with them. Speed will come on its own. Don't forget that the task is to play better time and make the song feel good. Build that vocabulary.

James Keegan - That has to be one of the most thoughtful and beneficial replies I have read on any video, ever. Bravo. Marble, apply this advice and you will save yourself a lot of aggravation.
