I had the joy of watching Gavin Harisson explain and then play this section at a drum clinic. Absolute genius what they accomplished here.

[dis.repair]

Your production is great, really hope you get more viewers to make this worthwhile for you because I find it so informative!

[didsa]

This is amazing! The thing that made this part even more confusing the first time I heard it is that the 5/8 guitar part showed up a year or so before in the song Anesthetize, with a completely different drum groove (4/4 as the host, I think?).

[lifeattractslife]

Thank you for this delightful analysis! Keep it up!

[delusionwalker]

I am impressed by how well you are able to explain things without rumbling without over complicating to the point and so elegantly.
Your videos are top.
I really enjoy your channel. Thank you!

[TheProgSchool]

Great analysis of this! This has always been one of my favorite PT songs because of this section. Especially when they all sync up on the 3 (or 9?). Good stuff!

[tamirleibovich]

You make a very complicated stuff so easy and intuitive !!! כזה מלך

[francoiswaterbee]

Wow! very well explained, many thanks! I cannot stop listening to this section and wondering how can you play so complex music that seem so natural! PT are just geniuses

[ofirg]

Amazing! Got to know the song a week ago (though I'm a huge fan of porcupine tree for years). As always, your videos are so fun :) Also proud to say I figured this stuff out too hahaha

[charlieno]

Great content, I totally agree, your production is very interesting and unique. Keep up this amazing work!

[DiogoSilva-ldwe]

Dude, thank you so much for this video. I've loved this section ever since I've first heard it and always wanted an explanation of how all the different beats intertwine and come together in the end (I'm not very knowlegable in the rhythm department ahah). I can finally rest assured that I now (somewhat) understand it ahah

[pavelduda]

Every single one of your videos is amazing! Thank you

[stefanwtf]

So interesting, as chaotic as music gets :D

[PieceOfDuke]

Listened to the song for years and never knew )

[a.s.henderson]

Very cool indeed. Thanks for the effort. Been looking forward to yr videos each week.

[banehog]

*YES!* This is the most insane thing ever! First time I heard it was on the Anesthetize Blu-Ray, instant nirvana for my ADHD brain. I can only keep track of two of the signatures simultaneously in my head, first the 5 and the 7, then the 7 and the 3 (my favorite). The part where 5, 7 and 3 are all playing, I have to sacrifice the 5. Man, Gavin is such a beast. He has a great philosophy regarding time signatures: Everything is just patterns of 2s and 3s.

[kttyflp]

ok last one i swear: Car Bomb - Constant Sleep ( 1m03s ) this one's got to be one of my best submissions :D

[TheAciddropper]

[moadot]

7:08 is so cool! You need to do this in future videos!
