yes, not the reason I bought my sonor, but easily affirmed. I never knew any brand name assertion from kit to kit, no interest as I know how to tune drums. Sonor, I truly enjoy my drums tone more over since I have added batter heads. The plastic heads that they came with made them sound like any other drum, the batter heads brought the full birch toms into their own.
I'm only just now discovering Gavin after someone on a Tool video suggested Porcupine Tree. Now I have found Pineapple Thief. Gavin is a sorcerer. He never seems to rush anything, his playing is precise and articulate. He compliments the rest of the band, never outplaying them or the musical piece. Pure, unmitigated genius.
There is a UA-cam reaction video where the guy says "most progressive rock drummer jerk off all over the drum kit, but not this guy". It is a spot on reflection, Gavin has breadth and space in his playing that gives it depth and airiness that really shines. Such control in his playing.
Gavin Harrison to me is a combination of Simon Phillips and Jeff Porcaro. The touch, technique and melodic approach of Phillips with the serious deep pocket of Porcaro. To sound like these two merged together and so wonderful is a reason why he is one of the best players on the planet.
@@JeraCravoMyself 1 nope. i'm clearly saying LANG is too mechanical. 2 now that you mention it, Gavin is WAYYYY too mechanical for my tastes as well. (EX: take a shot every time he puts the snare EXACTLY WHERE ALL DRUM MACHINES PUT IT.) At his best, Gavin is one of my faves. But most of the time, he's phoning it in and playing basically what EVERY OTHER DRUMMER would've played. You can tell he started as a very cliche drummer, whereas Bill Bruford was breaking all the ROCK rules when he was 19 in YES. I like drummers who constantly surprise me! (If they can do that while still grooving, even better!) Hope this helps.
@@JeraCravoMyself Gavin is also TOO STIFF as a human being (which makes sense if you hear his drumming) (vs Jamie Muir ha ha). Little wit. Not playful. So he's a robot even when NOT playing the drums, kinda. (Compare a few videos of KEITH MOON vs GAVIN to see what a PLAYFUL and FUN drummer looks like.) Bruford was MISCHEIVOUS and would mess with the other 4 virtuosos in YES. (As they walk out onstage for a concert, Bruford said "I'm playing all the tunes DIFFERENTLY tonite! Good luck, guys!") (He hated playing the same thing every night. Gavin seems to love it. Sigh.)
@@jonbongjovi1869 I agree with Lang being too technical. I also agree that Gavin is VERY technical, but he has one of the most "musical" drumming from all the super-technical drummers. I also prefer more feeling and less technique, but Gavin does hit the sweet spot IMHO. Cheers mate!
So technical, without losing the focus on being musical. Nobody will ever sound like Gavin; greatest rock drummer alive and in activity since the day we lost Peart.
Gavin uses his large kit a bit like an orchestra, blending rock & melodic concepts in a harmony that doesn't lose it's power or sense of urgency, but keeps the song humming along like a finely tuned V-12 engine!! Thanks Gavin!!
Here's the song structure: A-B-C-A-B-C-D-A-C-E 0:00 A intro 4 bars in 7/8 0:10 B verse 16 bars in 7/8 0:42 C chorus 8 bars in 10/8 1:07 A interlude 4 bars in 7/8 1:15 B verse 12 bars in 7/8 1:39 C chorus 8 bars in 10/8 2:03 D bridge 28 bars in 6/8 2:52 A interlude 8 bars in 7/8 3:09 C chorus 8 bars in 10/8 3:32 E outro 12 bars in 6/8
pineapple thief has always been an amazing group…and now can’t get enough of how they’ve progressed with gavins’ influence in the group. this song is a perfect example. leave space for the drums, and gavin will play the most musical chops, where an other drummer might not know how to contribute.
Wow, your playing is simply beautiful Mr. Harrison. So much attention to detail, dynamics, and feel....it is such a pleasure to watch and listen to you play. Respect!
not too much not too little, accents where they make sense, no ego chops just perfekt drums, one of my favorite drummers ever. i admire how u can play so flawless on your recordings.
Effortless playing.... 💯🔥🔥 Really mind blown to watch him play like that... Comfortably playing 5/4, 7/4, and also 6/4 i heard in the end. Switching back nd forth. 🤯
What a joy to watch you play Gavin, your drum parts are filled with emotion and intention, the connection between your soul and the instrument is cristal clear. Thanks for your drumming
Amazing drumming. I did not hear about The Pineapple thief up until now - I love the musicianship, the sound. Im glad UA-cam works as it should, actually recommending things i enjoy.
I could recognize Gavin' style among a million of drummers. Love it.
Totally agree..Gavin represents the art of drumming.I'm tired of drummers whit overplaying style .. extreme velocity,lack of taste etc.
Who's he?
His style and his SOUND
@@mammontustado9680That’s a valid question
@@mammontustado9680 I was high, I meant "I" 😅😅😅😅😅🤣
Those Gavin Harrison tom tones are among Sonor's best marketing material
They really are... Best tom tone out there as far as I'm concerned! I wonder if he's still using coated heads on the reso side...
@@matthewmeredith3138 No, he's using clear Ambassadors.
100%

@@warrenoids they look like batters to me, I have a set... but I've been wrong before. But the snare, the centre dot confuses me.
You know you’re somebody when you have your own sound and it’s so recognizable

Agree: here are two more for you: Nick DiVirgilio and Todd Sucherman. Enjoy.
@@PabloJ1968
Todd is a force of nature on the drums.

Gavin's skill and kitsound is unmatched!
check out BENNY GREB or TORPEDO TAWAKAKKE.
He's still too mechanical, but THOMAS LANG is pushing drums farther than anyone right now.
@@jonbongjovi1869 did you say Gavin is "too mechanical"?

There are prog rock drummers.... and then there's Gavin Harrison.... on a *LEVEL* all by himself
the best drummer in the world, period
I instantly fall in love with whatever Gavin creates. He's different.
I can't even put in words how Gavin's playing moves my heart and fills my soul. This is no exception. Thank you for posting this! ❤
So technical, without losing the focus on being musical. Nobody will ever sound like Gavin; greatest rock drummer alive and in activity since the day we lost Peart.
Love The Pineapple Thief so much. It's meditative for me!
Gavin Harrison ladies and gentlemen
What a magnificiently outstanding drummer
Any day a new Gavin Harrison video comes out is a good day! So dynamic, so precise, so smooth. Fantastic!
I wanted to comment, but I'm at a loss for words every time I watch Gavin play. I just want to say my jaw is always on the floor every single time.
The best Gavin, you are The best for me. I love you, and thanks❤
Gavin Harrison the genius of the drums👏👏👏👍😎
When the bell pattern starts 3:32 it's just so grounding and wholesome for me 😍
Yea! So sweet and melodic❤
Those damn ghost notes❤
Stunning, drums sound out of this world
MY FAVORITE SONG. You will be remembered as one of the best drummers in history man.
Yes, RIP!
Have to feel inspired when you watch a true master at work 👏💪
F___'n FINALLY! A drummer who knows how to play and use his kit! What a SUPERIOR breath of fresh air! 👍
Crikey, i just watched this four times in a row!
My mouth waters at hearing your craft, Mr. Harrison!
You have the best sounding splash cymbals on the planet.
Here you can see what every drummer should be, ciao from Italy
This mix is so much better than the album version. Love it!
One of the best drummers in the WORLD! I absolutely love his work.
Virgil Donati Thomas Lang marco Minneman Dave Weckl Vinnie Colaiuta are better
This is a Player who truly CARES ABOUT QUALITY!!!!
Magnificent as always. Gavin is God
Wow!! Gavin, you have the smoothest touch on even the most technical music. Always fun to watch. Thank you for sharing that video.
Grace ..... may be only drummer who has so much precison ,crispness and grace in drumming .
This is pure poetry.
I'd love to see a performance of Love In The Past Tense from PT, such beautiful crafted drum parts and song!
Best track on C/C, no question
Yeah, one of the best songs in the PT catalogue. My favourite from the C/C album with Dignity.
One of their best ever indeed
I'm a drummer to the core, and yet while I'm listening to Gavin, I can't help but get pulled into the absolutely fantastic vocal parts and harmonies.
Gavin uses his large kit a bit like an orchestra, blending rock & melodic concepts in a harmony that doesn't lose it's power or sense of urgency, but keeps the song humming along like a finely tuned V-12 engine!! Thanks Gavin!!

Superb as always Gavin. Absolutely love the tuning on the whole kit. But those tom's are sublime.
Gavin we need more of these please! Also can you put some of these of porcupine tree or king crimson as well! Thanks!❤️
This is a feast for the senses. Watching Gavin play is a real treat, listening to him and the sounds he produces are sublime.
master at work!
Musicality, constant tempo, effective dinamics, control. This is the perfect example how to play drums. Excellent!!
Классный мастер, ничего лишнего, всё ровно и вкусно.
Simply the GOD.
Gavin's drumming is so tasteful and always seems to fit the song perfectly.
Always so grateful to hear Gavin play, oh those toms... And the sticks they float around the kit

Perfection. One of my all-time favorite drummers...such a beautiful, flowing style combined with impeccable chops. Just incredible, always.
Truely fantastic

What a joy to watch you play Gavin, your drum parts are filled with emotion and intention, the connection between your soul and the instrument is cristal clear. Thanks for your drumming
The flow you have round the kit is just beautiful to watch
Him and Dave Weckl are both like that. They flow like water around the kit. Very inspiring.
Best sounding drum mix ive heard in awhile, super!!!!!
Some people meditate, I prefer to watch Gavin drum.
Simply Amazing play and sound..!!! Great Drummer
I love the The Pineapple Thief !!!!
Dynamics are off the charts, such a treat for the ears. Kit sounds absolutely amazing as well.
Yes! More uploads please!
Nice seeing Gavin upload again
Marvelous drumming for a great song!
Amazing drumming. I did not hear about The Pineapple thief up until now - I love the musicianship, the sound. Im glad UA-cam works as it should, actually recommending things i enjoy.
I discovered Pineapple Thief through one of these playthroughs of Tear You Up, and now they're on nearly everytime I'm in the car.
Such a great drummer!
Great drummer and awesome sounding kit
Wow... musicality and goosebumps beyond
To say the drum part is compelling is an understatement.
