I'm a drummer myself and I've been involved with drums and percussion since I was 8 years old. As fate would have it, unfortunately I only discovered Gavin Harrison recently. After all these years of listening to the best of the best - I mean, Buddy Rich, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl, Marco Minnemann, Virgil Donati, Benny Greb and all the other monster drummers we know, including Neil Peart and Danny Carey, of course - I'm fully convinced that I have never heard a drummer, as a true MUSICIAN, as perfect, as complete (in absolutely ALL ASPECTS, including the sound of the drums itself) as Gavin Harrisson, and I am 58 years old now.
There is another video here on youtube...I think a vic firth spotlight...in which Gavin discusses ghost notes. He says specifically that he wants people to hear his ghost notes, so he plays and records in such a way to make sure they are captured. With these superstar musicians, almost nothing is unintentional.
...need to say about the touring guitarist. IMO, Mr.Darran Charles is definitely the one who deserves respect as persistent, devoted in his work as an important figure in alternative but progressive rock! Steven Wilson made us crazy about this (let's say) subgenre of progressive music, and now we have outstanding bands who breathe as one! Cheers.
This is amazing on so many levels. Gavin Harrison may be the most "musical" drummer I've ever heard. In spite of his seemingly unrivaled virtuosity, what really makes him stand out is that everything he plays serves the song. Outstanding!
When you have a drummer of that caliber the music seems to just become surreal and plays itself, I haven't played with anyone even close, of course, lol, but even a half-ass drummer made me play better and looser. He is beyond normal though, the minute he entered the scene Porcupine Tree's In Absentia took on a whole new life.
Let me tell you something: I've been involved with drums and percussion since I was 8 years old. As fate would have it, unfortunately I only discovered Gavin Harrison recently.

@@walterrserrano Couldnt agree more with everything you said. Ive heard everyone from Dennis Chambers, Jeff Porcaro, Dave Weckl, Neil Peart, Marco Minneman , Virgil Donati etc just like yourself, but Gavin's musicianship, tone, immense musicality with odd times, making the basics sound so special, his desire to explore every aspect of the kit(including tom rims), all served for the song is mind boggling. Even my parents who are not musicians sat through like 5 gavin harrison playthroughs. :p .
This snare micing and that sound engeneering are superb!! Listen how smoth and audible is those ghost notes at the beginning of the sound! And he's playing with his fingers!!
Hey drummers, you may have heard songs in which you may think "I think I could improve a bit the drums..." , I bet my ass it WILL NEVER happen with a Gavin Harrison song!
Gavin Harrison himself disproved your claim, stating that beyond the baseline of serving the music, what it takes to make a song "better" is all subjective :)
Watched these boys in Manchester last night, they were superb. As a drummer myself, I particularly enjoyed Gavin's performance. What a frickin player he is!
There is no comparison between Gavin Harrison and Neil Peart. Harrison is light years beyond Peart and Peart knew it. Peart is definitely no Professor. That honor goes to Bill Bruford who actually has a PhD in music from Surrey University in the UK. Peart is definitely the “POAT” (Poser Of All Time). It’s laughable how so many of the great mentally unwashed and uninformed falsely equate “Celebrity With Legitimacy”. Wake up!
@@Tannhauser62 Your opinion is your own. Facts matter. Unfortunately many slavish Rush/Neil Peart are impervious to facts or reason. Ignorance is bliss, until it isn’t!
@@Tannhauser62 based on your response you’ve been mercifully spared the ravages of critical thinking and intelligence. To top it off you must be very very young and immature.You’re obviously not a drummer and can’t read standard drum charts. If you could you’d know how utterly simplistic Peart’s drumming is; primarily single stroke rolls in creative sticking patterns and odd time signatures. Pity those for whom intelligence and wisdom are of no benefit.
Gavin Harrison has a flawless technique and draws from a seemingly bottomless well of original ideas. The most "musical" drummer I've ever heard. Outstanding all around!
First time hearing this band - apart from being very familiar with Gavin from Porcupine Tree, the guitarist intrigues me - his sound, very sustained - I can't see him using an e-bow, maybe a sustainer?
This group is so amazing! Watched them for the first time a few days ago in Oslo. I'm a drummer, so I've obviously watched Gavin closely for years now. An hour or so before the concert he walked right next to me, which was kind of a shock (didn't expect that). I was lucky enough to be the one standing closest to him during the whole concert. They truly are awesome live.
Gavin Harrison,- you are "sick" and "wicked" on the drums,- and all that you do comes from inside your head,- amazing!!!! Love what you do,- and as one said,- you even make the kitchen sink sound fantastic! Wish you a long and healthy life, drumming!
Seen Gavin Harrison with Porcupine Tree a few times, in the past. Then King Crimson a few months ago. Looking forward to seeing TPT in Birmingham in 2019. As many people have said on here, without shadow of doubt Gavin is by far the most talented drummer alive today on the planet.
I must admit as a big fan of Gavin I didn't know what to make of this band at first but really I have to admit I've become a fan they're really good. A little bit different but quite entertaining. I think he's surrounds himself with just phenomenal musicians wherever he goes. Great solo.👍
REally great band, Gavin Harrison is spectacular on the drums. He always comes up with amzing drum parts as well as great feel!!! my new favourite band!!
strange how one line can hook you with a band for good, " Don't be afraid to miss me" hooked me with TPT since the single was released and in-exile now isn't even in my fave 10 songs of TPT
Always loved Pineapple Thief. The addition of Gavin is already raising the bands performances. Guess Gavin is destined to play in bands with PT initials. 😉. Excited to see how this band develops with Gavin in the line up.
Li ho visti a Roma un mese fa, e pur non essendo un patito di questo genere, devo ammettere che mi sono sembrati freschi e interessanti, una vera piacevole scoperta...adesso sono in fissa.

ERES UN POBRE FANATICO
Do not forget @NickDiVirgilio, @TodSucherman, and @GergoBorlai. Bonus: Rick Dior and Yoni Madar. I am enjoying the same ride you are in. Cheers.
Props to the sound engineer. The fact they picked up Gavins fingernail gost notes is freakin awesome
Yeah one of the best live recordings I've heard in ages
@Johnathan Reginald The question is... can Instaportal give me the abilities of Mr Gavin?
There is another video here on youtube...I think a vic firth spotlight...in which Gavin discusses ghost notes. He says specifically that he wants people to hear his ghost notes, so he plays and records in such a way to make sure they are captured.

Thinking the same thing. Great quality audio
Cause hes very involved in the live mixing 👍 @@elcidcampeador9629
They're really lucky, they have the best drummer in the world.
Only possible now that Niel Peart is retired. While he was still playing, no one was even in the same universe as he was.
Danny carey to
Well and Vinnie? Vinnie is Vinnie
@@robertociai6205 vinnie Paul? No way... the creativity and virtuosity of peart and Harrison are on another level, add Danny Carey to that...
Pineapple Thief were great before Gavin joined. But, yes, they are lucky too.
Came here for my dose of Gavin, but ended up falling in love with The Pineapple Thief.
Same here dude.
You have so many fantastic albums to listen to. None are bad, just like Porcupine Tree. It's odd, but who cares, we benefit!
Tightly Unwound is a great starter album for Pineapple Thief, tbh
Only band where I can see more comments on Drummer than the main song...Magic of Gavin :)
Proof that an incredible drummer can make a good band sound great!
They're much more than a "good band". This is amazing songwriting and perfomance.
They were amazing way before Gavin came
Yeah they were, but, they're even better with Harrison.
Check out our latest album. You might like! Cheers from Canada! 😉
That's ur a true man
...need to say about the touring guitarist.

What a drummer! this song makes me cry.

Exactly. He's one of the most musical drummers ever. He drives the music in the most perfect way without getting in the way.
When you have a drummer of that caliber the music seems to just become surreal and plays itself, I haven't played with anyone even close, of course, lol, but even a half-ass drummer made me play better and looser. He is beyond normal though, the minute he entered the scene Porcupine Tree's In Absentia took on a whole new life.
Even Gavins straight groove post the first solo sounds so good! Its nothing short of a miracle to make a straight groove sound that good!

Emotional music force🌊🌊great Gavin!
The five-stroke roll that Gavin plays in the beats is brilliant
All things Gavin say, do and play I might think that is briliant. I almost feel the need tô apreciate his awesome feeling for drums and música.
You've watched the drumeo video, right?
Brilliant performance and what a song. It's stuck in my head at the moment
This snare micing and that sound engeneering are superb!! Listen how smoth and audible is those ghost notes at the beginning of the sound! And he's playing with his fingers!!
it's the beautiful sonor protean signature snare
I believe Gavin works really hard with techs and his own tuning to get his sound
The fingers thing is a Bernard Purdie thing. Look him up.
The sounds is class. Clear as a bell. Also, Gavin’s sound is amazing before it’s even Mic’d.
I was a little blown away by that, the engineering on this is crazy, plus, I´d never seen someone play ghost notes with their fingers.
Thank you England to have produce so many talents in music. That's incredible !
4:23 Damn that rhythmic modulation though, smooth...

@@Swedguy220 I agree. But his "subjective" is so awesome, isn't it? :-)
@@SiddharthDehl Overall very much!
Gavin is not putting a beat under a song he is playing for the song. Assisting it, pure harmony
@@WardenOfSouls LO MAS IMPORTANTE ES ESE MOMENTO ALLI. LO DEMAS ES SUBJETIVO.
This song is the perfect playground for Gavin Harrison to do his magic.
that guitar solo straight from the album version effortlessly though
ikr. sounds exactly the same.
That's my favourite part of the song. The climax imo
That metric modulation in the guitar solo is soooooo tight. Next level tight...
Gavin Harrison is the greatest but that Guitar Solo though! 😍
Same. I rarely comment on anything, but I was going to comment on that solo and you beat me to it. As musical as it gets. Every note perfect.
Watched these boys in Manchester last night, they were superb. As a drummer myself, I particularly enjoyed Gavin's performance. What a frickin player he is!
One of my all time favorite drummers!
Gavin... you will carry the torch that Neil Peart left behind... what an amazing drummer you are....Respect Sir.. Respect for ya!

Excellent live performance!
They make angels cry.
Amazing ❤
Amazing drummer. They were blessed to be able have Gavin play. Excellent choice. Love the addition of the ghost notes and the way he adds them.
Greatest drummer of all time.
This is just ridiculous. Why aren’t more people listening to this incredible band.
The melodies this band writes....🔥
Saw this last week, amazing performance.
Gavin Harrison has a flawless technique and draws from a seemingly bottomless well of original ideas. The most "musical" drummer I've ever heard. Outstanding all around!
Phil Collins?
The guitar solo hits perfectly!
"It's everybodies job in the band to play in time, but it's the drummers job to make the time interesting."
- Gavin Harrison
One of the firt Band videos that people only talk about the drummer. Yes. Gavin is unique, clever and a awesome musician and artist.
Great atmosphere and well done
Can't stop listening to this beauty!!
Not only one of the most amazing drummers out there but the sound of that kit, especially the snare, beautiful!
🙏Namaskaram 🙏 master .. biggest fan of you master!!! I love your playing and every Supersonic movement.. and this song is amazing sir..
Beautiful!! Great song...superb composition and Gavin Harrison... Don't have to say....👍👍👍👍👍
Con Gavin alla batteria, sarebbero formidabili anche i "Cugini di Campagna". Wow!
TPF are impressive. I love this band. And I am indeed a PT fan. But TPT have something special!
Gavin Harrison can just make any band sound better and here it's playing with one of the finest musician. It's eargasm.
Bruce's guitar riff towards the end was amazing
Damn, they haven't even got through the first minute and I'm all one gigantic headbanging goosebump!
First time hearing this band - apart from being very familiar with Gavin from Porcupine Tree, the guitarist intrigues me - his sound, very sustained - I can't see him using an e-bow, maybe a sustainer?

That drums! Really nice Mr. Harrison!
Oh Gavin is the PERFECT drummer love this song
I miss Darran Charles, definitely my fav Pineapple Thief guitarist
Gavin, as ussual you are an excellent musician and drummer, congrats! from Venezuela.
Could teach that as the perfect guitar holding back and solo. Amazing vibe and the guitar is epic.
Seen Gavin Harrison with Porcupine Tree a few times, in the past. Then King Crimson a few months ago. Looking forward to seeing TPT in Birmingham in 2019. As many people have said on here, without shadow of doubt Gavin is by far the most talented drummer alive today on the planet.

God his backwards fills are insane!

Perfect Harrison as always!!Very nice music too!!!!!!
I saw them exactly one year ago on this day in Montreal, Canada. I miss these live shows so much
Absolutely fab! Brilliant! Thx Gavin 👍
What a great song! 👍
Beautiful. This is ON POINT with the album version, damn.
A great song by a great band!
Amazing! More live vids please, professor Harrison!
Thank you 🙏 Please come to INDIA 🇮🇳
KOCHI
Yeahh i agree sourish mate
Waaaiting...
yes!
Underground authority 🤘
Wish I could had seen them in Mexico city. They are really refreshing since GH joined them in 2016!
What a notification. Loved it.
Everything is well designed and played but damn... Guitarist had note to note perfection.
A mix of alternative & R&B & Soft Soul Rock & it came up as a Musical Magic.
Grande Gavin..Buon progressive 😉🎵
na boa....que som de batera perfeito!!!🤩
Gavin É um baterista PERFEITO!
It's a great track...definitely a stand out from the album
You guys are amazing musicians. Beatiful song. I’m currently enjoying your new work, Dissolution, another jewel. Keep posting live videos like this.
This is more porcupine tree than I expected it to be
Yeah did just sound like it :(
the initials are the same
The two bands inspired one another for years.
@@ege999men8 As are the syllables
Yeah they are good but this one sounds way to much like the beginning of anesthetize
what a beauty of a song
The bass people, the BASS
Giving the bass player some love.....Nice!
He is amazing.
Brilliant thank you for the beautiful music
Beautifully played Guys!
Live version sounded equally good like the Studio version. :)
I love the way the drums sort of crescendo on this track .
REally great band, Gavin Harrison is spectacular on the drums. He always comes up with amzing drum parts as well as great feel!!! my new favourite band!!
I hope to see you guys in Bogotá.
This more towards what PT used to do.
Hope Gavin is enjoying it...he seemed to thrive and bloom in the Deadwing/Abstenia PT era...
Nice job Gavin
strange how one line can hook you with a band for good, " Don't be afraid to miss me" hooked me with TPT since the single was released and in-exile now isn't even in my fave 10 songs of TPT
That bass line... chills.
Buenos musicos hacen revivir la musica con progresive rock music
The Best,,,Wow... I am down to the floor..listening the 4th time in row....Supreme...Impressive !!!
My 3 months old daughter loves this song to relax and sleep
Can hear the Porcupine Tree influence & Steven Wilson coming through...not complaining, I love it!
Always loved Pineapple Thief. The addition of Gavin is already raising the bands performances. Guess Gavin is destined to play in bands with PT initials. 😉. Excited to see how this band develops with Gavin in the line up.
What about KC? ;)

Amazing, Gavin. Come to Russia again for another seminar please
Хорошо мы будем в России
Gavin is a stand out in everything he does, but don't sleep on the bassist. He's killing it. Great guitar solo too
Pure drumming creativity
Oh, that fucking lead man!! Gets me everytime.
When I listen to this live and go to any live for porcupine tree I can tell the difference.
Perfeição essa música
Great tune!!! Guitar solo starts out very Belew-ish!
Great drummer, Gavin Harrison!
Uuuufffff ....es que no me canso de escuchar este tema
