This is fantastic: Two drummers from two generations and totally different musical upbringings. But you can hear that they really listen to each other in this double solo. Each one give the other space to show their chops and each one really listens and reacts to the other one. This should be a pleasure even for non-drummers!
Gavin's older than he looks, only 6 years between them
@@MH89002 yes and he knows Simon since they were kids (from the same quartier in London)
Sure it does. I’m not a drummer but i do love to listen and watch these two mastodonts at work! ❤
It's like a conversation without words but you understand everything
Two of the greatest drummers alive!
Absolutely!
Not even close. Thomas lang would annihilate them both
Different ages and different roots, but both are great drummers.
Simons father (big band leader) was kind of the boss on some time of Gavins father (trompet player)... if i remeber correctly. The roots are not that different. But the musical journeys are different. :-)
This is the most abstract drumming I've ever heard. I fucking love it!
I can't describe how amazing this is. Gavin Harrison impresses me every time I hear him play. One day I'll be like him. ONE DAY
Work hard and you'll get there.
🤣
🤣
The same can be said for Simon Phillips!
@Ben Riegel open handed is actually a great advantage! A lot of cross stick players are more limited or maybe put it that way: more complicated for them to expand over the kit. I wish I was an opened handed drummer.
I can die at peace after watching this
i find this kind of videos more inspiring and enjoyable, than the look-how-fast-i-can-play non sense shed videos where 3-4 guys come together.. where is the taste man where is the feeling... thats why %90 of them sound no different than the other.... true masters like gavin and simon will always stand out!!!
yeah, music not sportevents!
Yeah people usually like watch what they can comprehend.
Totally agree!
This was so incredible, you see two unbelievable musical masterminds at work. It's intriguing to see them play of each other's playing and not choking or replicating it. Like when Simon was playing his big low boomy Tom's Gavin played in between the notes with his high tuned Tom's and hihat. Simply stunning to watch these to together.
Absolutely 2 incredible players .. but when they do their "together" parts ... man, they are so tight it's almost like one player!
2 TOP KNOTCH BRITISH DRUMMERS THERE!!! GREAT STUFF!!!!
Simon is a monster.....one of few guys who still rocks a huge kit and has earned it! I usually like a more stripped down tighter set up but love seeing SP behind this monster Tama after all these years!
The best 2 drummers in the world, period.
What about Baard Kolstad and Marco Minnermann? Those 4 monsters are my favourite drummers.
a very childish comment. have you heard every other drummer in the world?
Just love the sound of the Sonor drums Gavin Harrison plays - what a tone! One day...maybe...
Man, following Gavin's ride work at 2min was tricky .. his 'tree of splashes' goodness always cues me in that he is said genius behind the kit.
Incredible! there is a dialog, question & answer in each fill! two of the greatest drummers
HOW CAN YOU DISLIKE THIS?!?!?!?!?
I think you will find it extemely rare to find any video on youtube with 1000 likes and no dislikes. For this to have only 8 (as of today) means that only 8 of the 1000+ viewers were the donkeys that dislike vids for kicks. Funny old world eh? Concentrate on the positives!
Very nice percussion ensemble! Both such great players, and musically compatible. Would love to hear this again with good speakers
Love it..brilliant guys.
This is amazing.....
love both of these guys, amazing musicians!
This is a master piece!
What a joy to watch and listen to! Thanks so much for sharing:)
2 of my favorite drummers..awesome
This is GOLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome sound. Very great drumming from two accomplished musicians
you can really why Gavin was the perfect choice to inject something new into King Crimson
Yeah, but Fripp needs to do a new POWER TRIO with GH and some new bassist. So easy! Just improvise it all!
That was totally beautiful, absolutely outstanding in everyway.!!!
Wow 2 masters couldn't get any better!
Great video and performances! Bravo!
Both are great drummers with a great drumsound. So musical and melodic. This is awesome
Absolutely incredible. The feel between these guys is incredible. Such skill. Makes me want to go and set fire to my kit!
One of the best and unique drum solos I heard.
Love this!
Fantastic! Thanks iDrum :)
Musicality at its finest! Love simon the pie man
Sublime, exquisito, un deleite al oído, excelente manejo de dinámicas, dos grandes de la historia bateristica!!!
this is the most inspiring shit ever
5:18 Glorious
amazing
dear simon& gavin. you guys are two of the very bst drumers; i love it keep your drums coming buds; im behind y u guys; your fan; terry
How cool are these drummers!!! Really enjoyed the whole video, thanks for sharing
No Problem! Glad you enjoyed it - remember there is more inside each issue of iDrum magazine which is free to read online! If your interested in any of our back issues head to: bit.ly/iDrum_BackIssues
Gavin Harrison is a God! Just wow!
4:36 Fear of a blank Planet ;)
no... its like every third song played by gavin^^
One of his licks
Yeahhh!!!!! Chester and Phil updated - awesome!!! P.S.: the basic concept sounds like late 70s through 1992 Genesis in 3/4 time sig (or is it?) just with tons of modern ideas and crazy overlayed accents. Would love to see both playing together in a prog rock band.
That's a lot of fun! Musical, too.🙂
Me encanta la forma de interpretar de Simon Philips, un gran músico por donde lo mires.
Just stunning! Two of my top-3 favorite rock drummers, along with Mark Brzezicki.
What ever happened to Mark B.?
Has a feel of going into Bottom Of Your Soul. It's got that riff.
Nicely noticed, it has the same 6/8 time signature and similar tempo, a lot of Simon's fills are quite similar to the big roll down the toms he plays just before the end section of the song
The best drummer game: let's play rather twisted rhythms so as to the other drummer fuck up his play!
Love seeing Gavin & Simon jamming around, can't wipe that smile off my face.
awesome.
My two fave drummers ever #2gether 🤙🏻🔝🥁
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!
🤘🏼❤🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁❤🤘🏼
Wow! These two drummers totally rocked it! I really enjoyed the entire piece because it was so musical. It wasn't about two drummers banging to see who can play the fastest. it was very tasteful. Thanks iDrum!
Legendary
My two idols
Come on now... that's how we brits do it. Two of England's finest drummers. Love this.
Wonderful performance! These guys both play so well, even though they are very different. It's too bad drummers don't get together and play with each other more often. I've done it a few times and it's amazing what comes out. Also, a great opportunity to learn new things. If you liked this, there's a great video on YT of Jojo Mayer and Benny Greb, different from this but just as amazing.
4:33 beautiful "Simonism" followed by a "Gavinism" 😍 two greats
Brutally good ..
a masterclass in technique
great !
Simon's snare KILLS always! If the snare pops like this you play less to let it speak...this is one of the better double drumming performances...these guys listen to ea other well...musical over a wankfest many turn into
Gavin's snare sound.....Ooooohhhh God!!!
I never put it together how much alike these two play ! Great matchup ! WhoW !
Beuford and Collins is another
I meant Chester Thompson
They’re just discussing their favorite Seinfeld episodes. 🤘🏼
Very fricken cool!!!
excellent tom sounds, real tribal
Good shit
Just awesome!! So musical . Amazing chops but not a chops fest for the sake of it. The effect is so powerful!🥁👌🏻
im fainted a thousant times during this video
Gavin Harrison hitting the toms and bells at the same time from 3:05 is one of the tiny little things showing why he's the best.
I'm gonna have this as my ringtone and never answer my phone..
Holy shit gods are together
I like both of them.😆
top of the top
Imagination brings untold sounds on bigger kits , why compramise when a drummer can play one . Buddy rich was a small kit player , do big kit players knock him? Drum school is a big lesson , infinitely for us all to learn .thanks Simon and Gavin. .
is there a studio audio pull from this session anywhere to be found ?
I like Simon Phillips the great musician
Is there any transcription available yet? Did any one try to do that?
That Tom work is almost Tribal feeling
BRITISH POWER !!!
GH is predominately a Rock/Prog Rock drummer with multi genre ability, but, he’s the only drummer I know of that doesn’t continually beat on China’s, he uses the 12” like a splash and the larger ones like accent cymbals striking them only once and not repeatedly.! Just inspirational for other drummers to improve their own ability and texture.!
Both inspire me and cause me to consider quitting at the same time!
👏🙌
what drums were made for. Yes
I jut heard this for the first time. Really good stuff. Simon went on a crazy tangent near the end. Gavin backed off with class due to his personality.Total class. At any point GH could have really walked the dog. But he played to the situation. Simon did great, but Gavin is off the chain
4:34 I die! OMG!
Does anybody know what pattern he's playing 5.21?
Did Gavin write this? Just saw Crimson in Cleveland and they performed this at the show..
Drumzilla!
That opening bell riff sounds like Sound of Muzak!
It seems to me that 27 people have never watched great musicians together before or never held any drumsticks in their hands.
They listen to J lo and Beyonce shit.
Imagine these two at your local drum circle meet up.
Damn :)
What kind of sticks is using gavin harrison?
Vic Firth 2B Vic Grip, now he uses his own signature, Vic Firth SHA ;)
Is that Simon's Studio in Los Angeles?
+Filippo Mancini Yes, it is.
✌✌👑🏅🏆
What a fucking racket!
I think all the people that constantly make the drummer joke about drummers not being musicians should watch this. This performance is as much musical as it is rhymical
