Haha....yeah, that was me.
Cheers,
Derek Roddy.
What an amazing comment to read 10 years later Derek.
How it is, that video was uploaded 9 years ago and ur comment 10?
@@natangloeh5806 It's because you skipped math.
@@natangloeh5806 :D dude I hope you can count out a 4/4 measure at least!
Derek! Lol
Gavin: I´m not Derek Roddy.
Derek Roddy(from the audience): No, you're actually good.
😆😆
Takes some serious balls to talk 9 minutes of double bass in front of fuckin Derek Roddy ahahaha, what a guy
I love that he says he's not really a double-bass player. The hell he isn't. He just doesn't spaz out with 32nd notes for no reason every chance he gets.
"I don't really think of myself as a double bass drum player" LOL What an amazing talent.
The most complete drummer in the world.
From what I understand, it is actually Derek Roddy in the crowd.
What makes his so spectacular is that everything he does is so bloody CLEAN and tight!
Now that Neil has officially ritired....if Alex and Geddy are looking to continue THIS is your guy.
Alex has been working with Marco Minneman
I would love to see a project but not under the Rush name. LLH - Lee, Lifeson & Harrison.
Yes
I don´t call my self a doubblebase player brats brats brats 200 bpm doubblebase Action haha!
The world is not prepared for this.
Well, nice to get some insight as to how a computer thinks as it plays the drums...
I am a bassist and this guy blows my mind I love this guy
Seeing a jazz drummer playing such fast and technical doubles bass patterns is amazing. No joke, I'd like to see him blasting in a extreme metal band :)
9:08 and so on: Gavin is too modest; those doubles sound really good, even if he doesn't use them often
That's what separates the best from the rest. When your satisfied, you stop learning/gettin' better.
"Derek Roddy is in the first row..." :D Awesome!
JK Kross Derek: "You're actually good."
I actually love this man
Me too, bro.
He is just so far ahead of us all that it makes him hard to understand unless you have a certain degree of musical knowlegde about polyrythms and rudiments. What gets me is how much he practices! 12-14 hrs a day. When he played with Steve Vai he would play before soundcheck for a few hrs, do a 3-4 hr sound check, play a 2-3 hr show, and then play for a few more hrs after the show! Insane!!!
If you're talking about the part when Gavin says: "to do that you need Derek Roddy", the guy who was laughing is Derek Roddy actually, Gavin even points at him, it's a funny moment IMO...
Yeah I am almost positive that was Derek Roddy who said that. He seems like a pretty cool guy.
He´s crazy, out of this world, just amazing!!!
it's pretty damn obvious it was derek saying 'yeah your actually good' ..he's being self deprecating in a way yet fishing at the same time
derek has extremely good technique. gavin is one of the best musicians IMO
What do you mean? He was actually making a compliment to Derek. Listen to what he says.
That is insane.
at the end "here I am playing this in front of Derek Roddy". haha that's great.
He's my favourite as well, by far.
this guy is a fucking beast \m/
One of the most creative out there. I had the pleasure of going to one of his clinics in February it was nothing less then phenomenal. He is also a great guy as well.
He said at the end, "Here I am, playing this in front of Derek Roddy."
one of the best videos i've seen on UA-cam, to be honest....i really hope it stays online, this is EXCELLENT info, and one more awe-inspiring look into the technique of one of my favorite drummers.
Love the banter between Gavin and Derek 😂
"So is very simple to mix..." hahaha amazing gavin!
Thanks for posting this. a lot of great info
Wow.. All I can say. How is he so fast and so clean.
MeytalHead it's called practice
@@the6ig6adwolf Yep. And decades of playing as well.
Sounds are great.❤️
nice derek. and amazing video. GAVIN IS AMAZING!! this helps so much
So much wisdom on this vid!
What a great guy! He actually answers questions from the crowd! Who else does that?!!
This guy is really enjoyable to listen to. He really knows his stuff.
gavin is out of this world. truely amazing
gosh that whole kit sounds great
That is exactly the lesson I was thinking about today. Thanks Gavin. You're a God.
Really like this guy. It's great to have another elite player who is humble and seems glad to share his processes.
Got to meet Gavin a month or 2 ago, he's a superb gentleman and fun to talk drums with. About as down to Earth as hanging out with an old friend. He really LOVES to talk drums, and gets excited to talk one on one with drummers. A true inspiration!!!
This guy is so down to earth, I love his drumming.🥁
This Sonor is one of the best sounding drums we 've ever heard! GArvin is just AWESOME!
So good
amazing
gavins kit sounds incredible even without any processing going on, awesome.
Gavin is always spot on in what he says at clinics!
i would absolutely love to have the honor to be there and listen to him
I could not agree more about guitarists...at least the last one I played with. His amp was on my left side, where he stood, and it was so loud I would literally get dizzy.
I could watch this guy for hours so damn good, I just filled my bass drum halfway with a pillow, it works just as he said, makes it easier also with the double pedal. Cheers Gavin!
he and anyone else can say what they like, but he is possibly the fastest double bass ive ever heard. and ive heard ALOT
FANTASTICO..
I knew he was good but after having actually watched three full videos with him I can see he ´s probably the best out there right now
I like when musicans are inconspicuous with their awesomeness, it reflect good things as a person, and the personallity reflect other things when are playing like the maturity, to understand everything is in benefit to music.. (specially drummers) to not always saturate with everything "you know" in a song to try to impress? or be the fastest one, or things like that.. and particularity with Gavin thats why I ENJOY listen to him, the drums in their music just flow...
Wow! That's really cool man. I guess you were there and everything. Must have been a really cool moment.
1:33 oh my god, he can move the drum!!
his toms sound so freakin good!
Wow, he's a great speaker.
@PoeticJustice05. I agree. The sound Carey gets out of those Bell Bronze toms is awesome. I first heard about bell bronze snares when Nicko McBrain had one made for him back in around 1990. I never imagined anyone would have a whole kit like that ! To answer your question, I guess the middle ground is to tune tight and use some gating like Gavin. Only play around with the gate length and delay till you get a sound you like. Unfortunately what sounds good at one venue may sound shite elsewhere.
EPIC!
Love how that Bass Drum sound.
Drummer for Porcupine Tree and played with MICK KARN ON Fretless Bass plus O5RiC as well and David Sylvain.
Thank You
Mr.Harrison makes it look and sound so easy.
pro.
That was me that asked the question about his bass drum being so punchy!!!!!!! I was in the front row.
Gavin Harrison addressed the issue of volume playing and offered his analogy of guitar players cranking up their volume loads with a justification of sound or tone quality. I remember in a jazz school ,I was once alumni of ,the bass playing head of the school lectured about drummers. He said, drums are considered to be loud so let's listen to it it now. There was an unattended drum set and so of course silence befell is students. He continued with, you see drums aren't loud, players are. His arguement was that most drum students had a tendency to play too loud. I though in my head disagreed with him then and still now. The acoustic set only begins to show any quality of tone once sounded out correctly . Wood and build need resonance. The quite way I was encouraged to play at that school resulted in my drums sounding like A4 paper. The top head was the only tone heard and nothing more especially without microphones. Everyone else though was amplified and enjoyed being the louder feature in live performances with my drums being relegated to slightly detectable percussion backing. I learned to be humble and in service of the song or writers vision back then but always found the drums being included as standard fair and not actual consideration. Then I listen to Gavin Harrison and how he has voice and space in his projects! To non drummers playing with drummers, hear us and include us on your writing and playing. Mix us as you mix yourselves. Have a song with loud drums and another quiet. Show respect for your music by featuring the rhythmic possibilities within it. Know your drummers name and style also. If you've a drummer named Brian then all him when you hear his sound and style in your music, not because he is a robot willing to repeat robotic programmed drum tracks for a pay check
So, obviously Derek Roddy keen on learning, humble. And Mr. Harrison is like that as well, very good!
Super CLEAN player. Incredible bass drum tone.
He's a drumming surgeon
Yep, I agree 100% man. Anyone that thinks Virgil isn't musical just can't understand what he is doing. When I first started drumming, if I would of heard Virgil play I wouldn't of liked it and probably just thought it was ok. But now I know a lot more about drumming and I can tell you that Virgil is just freaking awsome and thats all there is to it.
i love his songs with porcupine tree( that is my favorite band) but this guy also have awesome songs of jazz !
Wow, what an underrated drummer!
That bass drum sounds so fit!! =]
When it matters, choose Gavin Harrison! He's the man!
@LT1045 I was thinking the same thing. Welcome to Hell's Drumming lol. Gotta admit though, this guy has some really great timing and creativity with his feet, and I love the way he really scrutinized the actual microphone sound, gating, etc, to get that tight, punchy bass sound. Great stuff.
I was there, and yes to answer your question that was derek roddy saying " yeah your actually good "
his tom fills are one of the cleanest I've ever heard. Guess that goes into what you said
He still freaks me out!!!
There are a lot of really good drummers in this world, but for me Gavin Harrison is the best of the best
*Plays clean double bass drum rudiments*
"Here I am, playing this in front of Derek Roddy'... XD
Dude is fucking AWESOME!
haha i love how he talks about his snare "when i blow up a snare drum" or "bottom head's gone" he says it like its a thing that happens very often. i've never "blown up" my snare before... and i play metal XD
but still my favorite drummer...
I think it's just ok to love both. I feel the exact same way as you do, man...
I'm glad they talked him out of THAT, I heard that he WAS going to think of him as a double bassplayer on 21-12-12...
I like the way he demonstrates a little bit of Tomas Haake footwork from the song Bleed at the end there
All the times that I have watched this video I still wish that there was a camera on Gavins feet showing him doing the double pedals. Just to see what his feet were doing.
Never heard of this guy...
His drumming fucking owns! And he's down to earth too! That's another good quality :D
He just played Bleed by Meshugga without even trying
It's not a Herta rudiment, it's just straight RLRL with pause. While Herta is alternating RRLR under the triplet. At least in Bleed.
Look at his right foot at 4:26, it is playing every downbeat if it wasn't obvious from the audio that he's not playing a triplet.
@@yrussq 9:23
@@yrussq while the herta is traditionally under a triplet, in bleed it's actually two 32nds then two 16th notes, from what i know. the hertas in bleed don't line up in 4/4, but a triplet herta would, since two 16th triplets and two 8th triplets is equal to 1 quarter note. In essence, a herta is simply a 4 note phrasing in which the first two notes are half the value of the second two.
@sparkles67 i just love it! i like clicky bassdrum sounds, but not triggers. like this sound has the nice big sound of a bassdrum.
Just look at his legs when he's playing those quads on bass. Such amazing technique.
When it matters, choose Gavin Harrison® as your favorite drummer, I do!!!
i love his bass drum sound... i wish i could make mine sound like that live.. i also loved the derek roddy references... you can actually hear derek saying "it sounds great" :)
@thickpooxbox360 That was Derek Roddy that said that....
You hear him at the end as well saying "That was great!" after Gavin mentions him.
at 1:08 to 1:15 ... exactly the same thing i learned from John Blackwell.. but gavin added on double kicks... so nice!
You should listen to the interviews in the Ultimate drummers weekend. His instructor when he was young was Graham Morgan, the best big band drummer in Australia at the time. Virgil grew up playing Jazz as most drummers in the 60's and 70's did. Just because he doesnt swing doesnt mean that he can't.
Gavin and Derek are good friends.. and I'll tell you Gavin is a phenomenal drummer the stuff that he can.. do he's so down to Earth.. they're hard to find today..his drumming is off the charts and you want to talk about fluidity incredible and he can play double bass very very well.. I mean just listen to some of his drumming in porcupine.. he makes it look so easy but it's not.. I still put him at one of the top players in the world today..
His control is ridiculous!!
Love the sound of universal mumbling agreement at 7:27 haha.
"Here I am playing this in front to Derek Roddy", haha, classic. But one of the few drummers I respect because he's not full of himself and plays well at what he knows. Would love to meet him one day if he ever comes to Australia.
