Gavin plays a lot like me in that he uses sticks and so do I. End comparison.
😂😂
😂😂😂
Hey, I used sticks! We're all the same, after all!!
I bought Gavin's signature sticks, turns out they don't make you play like Gavin. Well and truly pissed off!
@@blackesteyes1133 I bought Dave Weckl's sticks and now play exactly like someone trying to play like Dave Weckl.
Let it not be understated how incredibly tight Letterman’s band is with him🤯🤯
I was elated to see this today. This performance is actually how I discovered Gavin Harrison and Porcupine Tree, just a few months ago. Porcupine Tree is now my musical obsession, the greatest band most people have never heard of.
Thank you for making my day.
Thank YOU Tim!
Agree
It's always an obsession, haha. It's never just liking one tune. You stare at it and it stares back. I started with In Absentia and then went to see them live and loved every second.
Man, you need to watch Gavin playing "Bonnie The Cat" by Porcupine Tree. It's Just mindblowing
Thank you!
My favourite porcupine tree track, all about the bass and drums
One of the most impressive things about this is he loses a stick at about 4:26 of the video and I always have to remember to look carefully to notice it. Such a pro.
I watched this at least ten times and was very surprised to hear in another interview asking what it was like to drop a stick on national TV...........my first thought was "huh"?
I heard the interruption of his flow and figured something was up, looked again and there it was. I can honestly say that it’s the only time I’ve ever seen him fumble a stick. Not that absolute perfection is the idea, I’ve just never seen it until this performance.
The man. The myth. The legend. The GOD
Thanks Nathan! Futile is one of the most painful song I have seen Gavin play, especially the live version. Gavin is spent after that one! Cheers!
Oooh have I done 'Futile'? Might need to get on it
😳Embarrassed, just seeing this fellow for the 1st time.In a daze, mind 🤯!I think I might have to agree, this guy could totally be the best of the younger generation.Neil is my fav but I'm open minded enough to have different favs in different time periods and genres and so on.If that makes sense 🤔.Thanks for educating me!
You'll be happy to know that Neil was a big fan of Gavin -- even to the point of writing the foreword for one of Gavin's drumming books!
@@warren_r Thank you,awesome info!💙✌
Glad you're open minded Brooke! Plenty of brain melting drummers around :)
I'll bet he's thrilled at 57 to be a part of the younger generation! lol..
OH!,57 😊Gavin is youthful looking l guessed him at my age 48 so not as old as Neil putting him in a younger drummer category.lol
Well done, Gavin IS the Best. It's decided.
Yup
It's a great week of drummers to watch! Harrison's is the stand out performance, while Anton Fig, the house drummer, is the next!
That’s what being locked in a room for 8-9 hours a day with nothing but you and your drums get you. He worked his ass off to get there. Outstanding musician. In a class of him own!
Every time you say 'Gavin', I say 'Like'... Simple as that - magic word 😅
Couldn't agree more. Gavin is the best. Crisp, tasteful, outstanding musician. More than a drummer.
Yes Enrique!
I love the sound of his Toms! I just spoke with my kit, it wants Gavin for Xmas......
It was from drummer's week on Letterman. Neil Peart was their encore drummer to end it on.
A perfect flam every time
Yup!
Come on now!! I’m a huge Letterman fan and bigger Gavin fan and had never seen this! Fantastic!! Cheers, Andrew!
Letterman had like a week long drummer musical performance shows....Neil Peart, Stewart Copeland, Sheila E, Roy Haynes, Dennis Chambers, Gavin Harrison were some of the guests that did drum solos...all the performers clips are on youtube
@@tweevers2 thanks! Somehow I’ve missed that until now.
@@tweevers2 .... and what a lineup! I’ve seen all except Sheila E live. They never fail to amaze.
Gavin is a beast, He's not my personal favorite, but deserving of being on a Mt. Rushmore of drummers.
"Gavin is the Best."
I click
How have I not seen that video of Gavin yet? I swear I’ve watch every video he has and somehow missed this one 😂 thanks for covering it!
It's not just that he is so damn talented...it's that he looks so damn cool, like "I love making it look easy "
Gavin, says in Wayne and Garth. We’re not worthy, we’re not worthy! He’s taken some Porcupine trees song into a big band music.
Called, Cheating the polygraph and it’s fantastic. Thanks for bringing our crush out again Andrew!!!!!!!
Finally! About time you covered Gavin Harrison... 😆
HAHA!
Incredible performance, and he dropped a stick! Never even noticed till someone pointed it out.
Got damn I love me some Gavin Harrison. Just saw him with The Pineapple Thief last month in Orlando
Hi from Dublin in Ireland, I've been subscribed to you for a good while, welcome to the fabulous world of GAVIN HARRISON. I totally agree with you Gavin is the Best out there (my opinion) 🤘😎
He's up there!
Defo top 3 in the world😎☕
So glad you got round to this. I honestly feel there's no dissecting this. You just have to sit and admire that this is where our instruments skill level resides. Gavin is just one of a kind which is what we all aspire to be.
Imagine not only being good enough to play this stuff, but also being that good to write it in the first place! Emulation is one thing, but creation is where the real mastery lies.
First of all "The Letterman "Drum week" was an annual event and Letterman often commented the drummer!! And he really had the best drummers on!!!!!!! And the band is awesome!!!!!!!!
Bassist here. The double bass behind the tiny bell cymbals was absolutely sickening. I would adore a chance to play alongside such a drummer. Thanks for the experience Rooney!
That's the herta kick pattern from Bleed by Meshuggah - sick in it's own right, but dropping that accent orchestration on top of it was next level!
..and a damn-near perfect snare sound.
Gavin should be promoted to represent world's drummers !!!
He's unreal man!
Wow this guy is incredible
you need to do both of the Drum solo weeks on Letterman.
I love Gavin 👏👏👏👏⚓
Me too 💯🙌
Love the Flight of the Concords reference 👍
There's no such word such as "the best", there's a lot of fantastic and great drummers
Indeed. I was being silly 🙃
@@AndrewRooneyDrums ✌✌
Gavin has the best sounding drums i've ever heard.
Agreed 🥁🙌
I'm not a drummer, but can understand why you dig these videos! I applaud your effort to bring these talented musicians into the spotlight! [ :-) }
That kit sounds just spectacular!!!
The Flight of the Conchords clips had me feeling a bit nostalgic. Love that show.
We are so fortunate to be able to hear such mastery and should be thankful
I always say just because you're the fastest doesn't make you the best it makes you the fastest,this guy is a good drummer, there's to many styles of playing and to many genres of music to say one person is the best...
"Tongue out of the window" is a great description!
Couldn’t agree more. Love Neil Peart and have done since 1980, but since hearing Gavin around Fear Of A Blank Planet it’s all over. He’s just the best most interesting drummer there is. He can do it all.
What's funny is that he drops a stick in this. Funny because you can't tell by listening, but it's there.
I couldn't find a video of you reacting to 19 Days by Gavin Harrison but it is one of the most incredible compositions. Its in 19/8 and the polyrhythms he pulls out are amazing
I’ll get to it Chris! 💯👌
Also a very different side of Jojo with Depart in Vienna ua-cam.com/video/2anKAbtyuyc/v-deo.html
The song is called 'One for Eddie Who?'
I've said it before and I'll say it again, your channel is great man. All the best :)
He really showed how cool flams between the snare and toms can be. Instead of just playing accents or flams on the snare, he plays flams between two surfaces which makes the accented notes pop and stand out without having to hit really hard. Every time I hear Gavin play, he's giving me a lesson on the musicality of the drum set.
I wasn't sure, but was he playing hertas with his feet while playing an melodic line on the toms?
And speaking of toms, I thought he was pulling some really great tones out of them. I'm sure that Sonor makes great sounding drums, but I doubt I could make them sound as good as Gavin did.
Awesome stuff!
That flam lick is amazing Jake. And the execution!
Great reaction really enjoy these videos of great drummer. You asked who Anton is, he's the show's drummer, Anton Fig. He's now mostly working with Joe Bonamassa (probably one of the best blues rock guitarist today) for touring and recording. Paul Shaffer is also working with Joe and Anton for his "Keeping the blues alive" cruises.
Thanks for the info! Yup Anton Fig is a monster!
Gavin, Minneman, Portnoy, Jarzombek, DiCenso, El Estepario Siberiano, Aric Improta, Peart, Bonham, Bozio, Agren, some drummers are on a whole another world.
Agree
Gavin never fails to thrill me.
I'm a big PT Fan. I saw how Gavin starts his day. Drumming. He exercises every day for hour Onr reason he is not just gifted he is a professional.
Exactly!
Grew up with Steve Gadd (Steve God is more appropriate), listened to Jeff Porcaro a lot but Gavin Harrison is simply amazing.....first time I heard this guy it took me several minutes to recover, my jaw just dropped to my knees!!!!
Heck Yeah! I gotta try that coffee... What an insane performance! Thank you!
Amazing isn't it Liam!
Was waiting for you to review this one. Absolutely brilliant 👌
Not a drum expert but i dont see a ton of drummers playing with tone mid performance the way he does. Never seen anything like that
I always hoped you would do this video. it is my favourite one oh Gavin's
I love this guy. His Drumeo lessons are just so much fun and challenging. I’ve not tried them but he is spectacular.
Gavin had some fun with King Crimson. Along with Jeremy Stacey, and of course Pat. The intro to Indisciplin is sweet.
I think this solo should be called The Bleed
Another great video, Andrew. I always like your photos that you slip in to make a point.
Glad you like them Michael!
What can you say Genius Technically unmatched One of my all time favorites . Seen him with Porcupine Tree 🎄🎄🌴 and twice with Crimson MONSTER 💩💩💩💩 The Best
Yup insanity 🤯
"we haven't talked or anything"...dead bro lmao.
HAHA! Thanks for watching Michael
@@AndrewRooneyDrums you bet, love the content!
Still remember staying up late in Aus to watch this on Letterman - and then promptly stole the ascending tom flam thingo at 3:21 and used it in a live drum solo I did a few times hahaha
Take the best features of all your favourite drummers and put them together and you get Gavin Harrison. (BTW, the other drummers featured that week were Stewart Copeland, Neil Peart and Dennis Chambers.)
Need to see all of these. Thanks Mark!
Oh Rooney man you have to do the live in mexico version King Krimson - Indisciplin where gavin is on of three drum gods and part of the son is just improvised and you ll see a whole nother level of musicianship men can have im calling you out if you arent Andrew Rooney as a fellow musician and maybe a colleague im counting on you please do that
He played Bleed in the middle of the solo Hahahah
🤣👌
Hats off to you for your reaction to Gavin. He's truly amazing, and I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks so. Been a huge fan of Porcupine Tree for a long time. Have you checked out Gavin's Cymbal Song? It was from the Arriving Somewhere But Not Here concert, truly a work of art. I think you'd really dig it.
Absolutely amazing. Gavin Harrison is such a polished drummer. His execution and accuracy are second to none. The tone of drums are what every player dreams of. Thanks Andrew, what a great pick. May I suggest a cover done by Alex Rudinger. "Nil by Mouth" by Haken. Great drumcam video, very complicated. Definitely worth a look.
Thanks Douglas!
Yup!!!
Indeed Darrell!
Check out this one: Gavin Harrison & Simon Phillips [Part 4] Guitar Center's Drum-Off 2010.
PS.. Keep up the great work, your reactions are Ace🤘☕🥁
Thank you so much Declan! 😁
Love your reactions Andrew, I came across you about 6 months ago, don't think I've missed a reaction since, Like your vibe, keep Rocking Andrew👍🤘
FINALLY!
Gavin has some pretty good double kick for his style . Wish he did stuff like Matt halpern, would be sooo fun to see him shred metal . He definitely has really good texture and flow , amazing pick again Roons!!
Love the Chicken! Jaco tune. Weckl covered it too. Really fun to play!
Yes it's a classic Benny!
Actually, it’s a PeeWee Ellis (James Brown, Van Morrison, etc.) tune that Jaco loved and popularized. Check out the version with Kenwood Dennard and John Scofield from Jaco’s instructional vid - much more laid back. Easy to find it on UA-cam. Maceo Parker also recorded it with PeeWee on tenor and Bill Stewart on drums - very funky.
@@matzabean cool! Good to know! Thanks for the info.
Thank you...Great upload for my birthday...But you wouldn't know that, lol...Gavin is an absolute beast!!!...I assume you normally get suggestions from Patreon, but I think you might enjoy the playthrough video for Richard Henshall's "Twisted Shadows" by drummer Matt Lynch...Tasty!
Happy belated birthday Tim!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums TY
Hey Andrew! been enjoying your channel for a while. Good to see you doin so well. Bout to come out of full time work and start teaching / playing again. Start putting the Jazz degree to use from Auckland uni. Pretty sure I saw you around a fair bit back then. thinking about doin some music related youtube stuff when i'm out of full time work in August. any tips?
Oh no way Sam! When did you start/finish?
@@AndrewRooneyDrums graduated back in 2012. Had to go back and finish an elective to get the bit of paper but had all the jazz stuff done. Was there when Ron and Jim first showed up. Been slaving for corporate and getting made redundant end of July
You gotta check out Bruno Valverde....Black Widow or whichever song.
My favorite drummers would be Neil Peart and Bill Bruford. Of this "more current" generation though, Gavin is one of the best. Also, Keith Carlock...if you've not seen him in action, you should.
React Jason Rullo Death of balance. Jason Rullo is onde of The best and more underrated drummer. Heard his drumming in his fusion Band 3 Rules Band
The best Neil peart!!
I also am a huge Neil Peart fan. Interestingly, Neil was a big fan of Gavin Harrison. IMO, GH is close to NP in terms of tools in the box but he uses those tools more tastefully than Neil did. Of course, I find long drum solos, where the rest of the band goes for coffee a bit tedious.
What about blowing into the floor Tom? I’ve been requesting this for a while… but so many ridiculous Gavin Harrison clips, like 3 Versions of FUTILE (Clinic, Live, Big Band), Way out of here, Blackest Eyes… More Vlad, new drummers to the channel like Casey Grillo ( Live Kamelot & Zildjain showcases and clinics ) thanks to the Patreon members for making this happen.
Wow, what a great drummer. I can’t believe I’ve never heard him before. I’ve been really impressed with these reaction videos. From Yoyoka to Carter Beaufort, just great stuff!
So here’s a question that I’ve been pondering. Which one artist has worked with the best drummers (taken collectively) throughout their career. My vote goes to Sting but I’d be interested in other opinions.
Thanks Jeff!
And yup Sting knows how to pick em. Josh Freese, Vinnie, Omar. Can't get any better
Frank Zappa amd Steven Wilson.
You may think I'm cheating a bit, but I've looked at this artist as 1/2+1/2=1 whole artist in their career known as "Steely Dan" AKA - Becker & Fagen. I'd say this rooster of drummer is pretty good, scratch that I mean it is "great." Jim Hodder
Jim Gordon
Jeff Porcaro
Hal Blaine
Rick Marotta
Bernard Purdie
Steve Gadd
Ed Greene
Keith Carlock
Lerroy Clouden
Vinnie Colaiuta
Sonny Emroy
Rick Lawson
Michael White Jim Keltner Hmm... well what do you think?
Bleed Meshuggah 4:55 and 6:07
He must be a fan of them.
I'll say it again: "19 Days"
I'll get there!
4:08 4:55 I heard Bleed hertas!
YESSSS
Gavin wow, precision Harrison. I see and hear why he's the beast. Have you picked out an engagement ring yet? I suggest genuine zildjian.
Have you watched any George Fludas, or Bonhamology stuff? Worth the watch
Thanks Hector. I’ll check it out! 🥁👌
He might be the best- definitely among the tastiest. Check out Chris Allison- Glass Bead Game.
I think it is the Sarah Hagan Backstage interview where he talks about this solo & how he was invited and his prep, they did indeed only have 1 rehearsal together.
"Show me a drummer that can play any genre and I'll be impressed"
Me:...
yup!
Vinnie too
Gavin is one of those drummers that causes people to run out and buy a drum kit and throw it the dumpster 3 days later
HAHAHA!
Hell, I can do that! Wait, no I can't....
Me too!
lol
Love Gavin Harrison but you should check out larnell Lewis!!
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Yes James!
I think you find your master. :-D
As a non drummer how do you make one arm do one thing and the same with the legs, when I try my other arm just joins in while my main hand watches.. I’m not musical in any way
Don't get much better than that.
One of the best Bill! 🙌
Porcupine Tree just dropped a new song in over a decade and the drums are incredible. You *have* to check it out - ua-cam.com/video/AW5v4Ohxk5k/v-deo.html
Drumming aside, I particularly liked the handshake at the end. Remember that? When you could shake someone's hand without them recoiling, like you were handing them a dogshit sandwich.
HAHA!
It’s great and I love it. But you can tell he doesn’t do a hell of a lot of long solos as it seemed to me like a lot of small sections put together. If you compare it to Dennis chambers time on the show. His whole solo is so fluid. Not to take anything away from Gavin. You know I love that guy.
That's because what sets him apart from most, and you can put the rest of his old band mates from Porcupine Tree in this category as well, is their absolute devotion to serving the music. Always!
Every solo from every performance of their's I've ever seen, sounds and feels like an intrinsic part of the song.
@@timhilton7254 yeah I’ll give you that.
Try Terry Bozzio
