      watch some Billy Cobham in Mahavishnu O on YT.
      DRUMS ARE A VIOLENT INSTRUMENT.

      Name just ONE drummer who NEVER hits his drums or cymbals!
      ("Hitting things is NOT a violent act"! Um, it's ALWAYS a violent act. Even a light smack = violence!)
      In my first band, I got two big Body Massagers and had my drummer use them on the skins, and i'd say that VIBRATION (which would make the drum HUM!) does NOT count as violence. (Or you could argue it's VERY agressive micro-shoving back and forth, ha ha.)
      Now I'm wondering if you're a Policeman, because this is the first time in my life I saw a human say "hitting something isn't violence!"
      "Yeah i punched my wife in the face 20 times when I was drunk...but that wasn't VIOLENCE!"

      I think he's TOO tasteful. (Drummers need MORE ENERGY and FIRE than GH's too-polite drumming. I love when GH gets clever and tasteful, but too often he seems to be phoning it in rather than PUSHING HIMSELF, like a Billy Cobham would do.)

      Not only is his drumming extremely tasteful but also brilliantly balanced, in my opinion. Obviously, the drumming in LDR is also tasteful, but the nuances Gavin webs into his playing are a whole different story in my opinion.

    I've never witnessed anyone like Gavin Harrison. His timing is always spot on, he's very creative in music, knows his instruments and music like no other. I mean, all drummers have their own style, but Gavin Harrison can go beyond most within the halls of music.
    When I first saw him play on UA-cam, it was like the day I witnessed Neal Peart of Rush. Gavin blew my mind with his talent, timing and creativeness to even exceed that of Neal and I've been doing my best to watch Gavin's performances ever since.
    I love the way Gavin can improve and improvise while drumming to fill in more gaps and make it even better and more tasteful than anyone I've ever seen in my life.
    Thank you Gavin Harrison for coming into our lives, being a powerful inspiration to others in the field of music and my hope is that one day I can see you in a concert performance with the other greats you perform with. You are excellent with The Porcupine Tree and The Pineapple Thief. Which is all I know you're in. I haven't looked it up yet on what other projects you're into, but I plan on it in time.
    Thank you again for your hard work, Mr Harrison. ✌️&❤️ To you and yours, always.

    Being a drummer myself for 40+ years, I have grown to like certain drummers, from Vinnie to Marco to Dave to Virgil. But Gavin shot up REAL QUICK when I discovered him a while back as one of my all-time faves! My favorites are (in no particular order): Steve Smith, Vinnie Colaiuta, Virgil Donati, Dave Weckl, Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, Marco Minnemann and of course, Gavin!!!

      Well… sorry but no. Would that I could play like you though. Then I too could make a video!

      @@jgdevoe Ha! The joke's on you, my friend. I sold my drums about 30 years ago. Decided to settle down and start a family instead of pursue a music career. Although I miss playing, I don't regret it.
      Best wishes to you, Joe.
