Gavin Harrison's drumming is very "high resolution"... As you look closer and closer, more and more detail emerges. Absolutely brilliant drummer.

[benevolentautore]

So good. He literally bridges the gap between Porcupine Tree and Pineapple Thief. The two PTs that make me smile!

[bilalshaikh]

Man he is a legend.. the most impressive thing about him is that he is not repetitive. His creativity is on another level.

[AlexFrost]

He is literally the best drummer of our time

[Felipe-mhbm]

Watched pineapple thief in Paris last month. It was the first time I saw the audience shouting a drummer's name more than any other member of a band.

[julienbendel]

I swear, I could watch Gavin play all day... such a groovy, unique, clean and ultimately inspiring drummer!! Thanks to Vic Firth for the upload!

[captaindeadeye]

Such an underrated drummer. People who enjoy prog rock or are drummers themselves usually know of this masterful man, but the mainstream doesn't.

[montlejohnbojangles]

There aren't a lot of drummers that I could just watch for hours at a time like this. And coming from a guitarist, that says something. Gavin is just a truly inspirational player.

[jeroenkoopmans]

This man is in a leaque of his own.
Groove, phrazing, timing and feel are mindblowing.
He just plays music.

[adriancaceres]

He was always in control, always in control of this.

[AmineAdelBENGHERABI]

Simply the most talented prog rock drummer in the world. It is just terrific!

I call him the surgeon of the drumming world. So clean, so creative, so groovy...

[kcChicken]

Is Gavin Harrison one of the best modern drummers? I think so

[Mauroaimar]

One of the best and most complete drummers of our time

[gvoskin]

He’s a human fractal generator. You can just keep zooming in and a million new things keep emerging. Most refined drummer of our generation.

[Stff]

I hope this helps build The Pineapple Theifs fanbase... such a good band

[hockyjocky]

I love the comment section in any Gavin Harrison song I see because it confirms the amazement I have with his work. Truly inspirational.

Gavin said in another video "technique impresses him, but doesn't move him. His playing here moves you. Such grace and style.

Edit after 24 hours and watching this video several times. I'll start with I am not a drummer so bear with me. There are three distinct sections here, roughly put, the opening, the middle ambient section, and the closing. The opening is strong and pulls you into the song with a grooving hard beat. The ambient section is reminiscent of Phil Collins but way beyond Collins in phrasing. The mood set by the tone of his drums is other worldly. You could drop all the other instruments and never lose the song through out the middle section because his phrasing and tone is so melodic. Post ambient section he starts grooving, and what a fricken ride. There is so much going on but you never feel out of sync with him and the fills are incredibly creative, not a simple tom roll or such but massive snare and cymbal runs that float over the beat. This is so slick you need a cigarette and a shower after watching this. Seriously impressive on all levels.

Probably one of the most musical drummers of all time.

[UWB]

Gavin is not only overflowing with chops, but he’s also extremely musical. A rare mix. And, his playing is just full of surprises ! He never gets boring, ever. One of my favorite players.
