Drummer Gavin Harrison playing Futile

[agerom]

I read "Drummer Gavin Harrison playing flute"...

This guy. He's as precise as you can be as a drummer, yet groovy as fuck and not the least little bit of sterile in his playing. His musicality and versatility is outstanding.

I've been a Ludwig drummer for 30 years. With that said,
(Deep breath)
these are quite possibly the best sounding drums I've ever heard, especially his snare! Man that was so easy to say I'm scaring myself. This guy rips so hard his timing is impeccable his pocket is perfect his groove is flawless. Watching him play makes me feel like I need to go to Toys r Us and buy a Hello Kitty kit and start all over.

Probably the best drummer of all time.... considering his music intellect, which makes him better than most of the drummers out there.

Hearing gavin doesn't want to make me quit, it makes me hunger for that addictive sound.

And the award for world's best snare sound goes to

Sound of the drums and cymbals is gorgeous -- absolutely perfect.

[yungnatediggity]

never seen a play style quite like this. so precise, musical, & unique.

[deliverance]

He straight up plays the Meshuggah - Bleed kicks towards the end there. Absolute machine

Everytime I see Gavin Harrison play, there is a smile on my face! He is the pinacle of drumming

[frontprochproduction]

That is some sick percussion work. In all my years of playing I never even got close to this kind of technical and rhythmic ability. Bravo.

Had the pleasure of seeing Gavin doing a clinic in the mighty Drum Depot drum store, in Cardiff, Wales few years back, unbelievable player and even got to meet him after the show, very down to earth cool guy. Very inspirational! \m/

It's silly to argue who is 'best.' Clearly it's this guy. :)

[Samhain]

This guy joined an already awesome Porcupine Tree and made them sound even more awesome! Even now his drumming with King Crimson And The Pineapple Thief are sights to behold!

[mindseye]

That fucking snare ghost note damn!!! This man is as precise as the atomic clock and as groovy as Jaco Pastorius playing funk jazz!

[robinjohnson]

This is one of the greatest drumming performances I've ever seen. 10/10

[MegaMikeArnold]

The thing about Gavin's playing is that it's powerful, disciplined, and virtuosic for sure, but those drums and the real-time production of their sound is absolutely perfect. I'm not sure that any other drummer in prog-rock can put it ALL together like he does. Thanks Gavin, incredible as usual👍

[Unibabble]

I just cannot watch or listen to enough of Gavin Harrison's performances - he's just absolutely superb.

Futile is what trying to understand these rhytmic values feels like.

The way he played, and the tom tom sound is awesome!
