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

I love when he does ascending fills

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

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

Even the hardware is grooving

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

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

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.

He is literally the best drummer of our time

Gavin is from another planet!

One of the best and most complete drummers of our time

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

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!

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.

There's no way he could have made this song any tastier, absolutely brilliant

Gavin's musicality on drums - incorporating the songs melody into his fills - is unrivaled.

Never know where he is going and every turn is brilliant!!

Surgical precision 💖

Gavin has rejuvenated an aging The Pineapple Thief. These are good times.

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

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

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

Probably one of the most musical drummers of all time.

This guy is just something else... His playing just sounds so musical and smooth. And those ghost notes are to die for!

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.

Form 1:20 to 1:40... wow, fantastic, such a pleasure to listen to it, again and again...

It is always an absolute pleasure to watch this artist in awe. I have never experienced such an incredibly ingenious symbiosis of power and culture. I love his style.

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

Yes, Gavin!

One of the best Drummer in the World.Perfect Play!

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.

I could see Gavin playing all day long. His drumming style is so fluid, clean and elegant that watch him playing is kind of hypnotizing.

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

Incredible tone, taste, touch, creativity: he can do no wrong by me. And still sounding fresh 15 years after I discovered him!

And Gavin does it again! Everytime I hear him playing I want to continue all day listening his technique

Gavin Harrison Midas! Every note he plays is pure gold.

He's not human, makes no sense! Beyond amazing skills!

I love this guy. Unique voice. Very creative. Usually his drum tracks are quite busy but NEVER overplays. I have immense respect for his work. A class act on his own.

I love Gavin. Went from one GREAT PT to another! GO PINEAPPLE THIEF

What I love is he PLAYS the drums, he doesn't just play a beat... he is just amazingly talented.

So far I watched him 15 times live. 13 times with porcupine tree 1 time was a clinic in Hanover Germany Last time with the pineapple thief. My drum hero beside Simon Phillips and Vinnie

Gavin is one of the top ten in the planet! Clean, fast, armonic, melodic, tecnical and hit when he needs to hit! Him and Dave Weckl are the all around beast drummers!

Gavin may be the best drummer working today. His creativitey, use of displacement and technical precision is amazing.

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....not over or underplayed but perfect...listen to it with your eyes closed and follow those time changes and articulations....beautiful!!!!!

That snare sounds incredible

It is exhilarating watching a master perform at his best.

Goosebumps all over, what an insane magician.

He is sssssssooooooo good and makes it look sssssoooooo easy!!!.....it just flows out of him effortlessly

Tasty chops and rock solid playing as always

IMHO he is the best drummer of all times. It's not just about drum technique (watch the final double stroke again, again, again, again, whatch those moeller on the snare, watch those flams, etc), it's about sound quality, musicality, groove design, music innovation, execution style. Perfect for your ears and your eyes. He is Gavin Harrison.

One of my favorite modern drummers............... Benny Grebb, Thomas Lang.......... so many great talents.

Holy shit, this man never ceases to impress and amaze me. He makes it look so easy as well.

Rock solid playing as always. A delight to watch him play. Awesome :)

melody - drum melody - it's not just an assertion of his - it's real.

Djezes! Out of this world! The best by a million miles! Thanks Gavin ❤️

Gavin is not only a technical and creative maniac. He also always "right" on how apply fills and how build a drum composition. He is on top of the drumming foodchain.

Ive been lucky to see alot of good drummers. THIS guy one of the best all the way around..

Pure. Glass. Never a beat out of place, so tasteful and effortless...thank you Gavin 💥👌🏻🥁🎖

The guy transforms something "simple" in something extremely beautiful and well thought... Is one of the best drummers, no doubt!

In four and a half minutes is the whole rhythm "philosophy" with precision, devotion and grooving technical diversity at the highest level. The groove artist Mr. Harrison makes the rhythm alive, much more he makes it alone sound like MUSIC. Incredible!

Those drums are singing a whole different song! Gavin did it again! Great inspiration from you sir!

Gavin hypnotized me just one more time

I grew up with Bill Bruford, then came Jeff Porcaro. And now Gavin Harrison. Drummers who groove like no-one else. Make music with their drums. So much to discover in their way off playing.

This is my most frequently replayed video for all my KZfaq history I just can’t get enough of this

l'm one of the 100 zillion people who play guitar, above whom there are plenty who have set the technique/chops bar somewhere on Mt.Olympus, but ever since he joined Porcupine Tree in 2002...this is the guy l turn to for sheer inspiration. l listen to & study other high caliber drummers, but Gavin Harrison is in a league all his own. Surely the musicians he supports have to be incredibly thankful, if not humbled, being able to play on the same stage with him. You're a very fortunate man, Bruce.

The man is legendary. And the new Pineapple Thief album is excellent. Thank you to Vic Firth for posting this awesome video!!

L'architetto, scultore, pittore dei ritmi.. Michelangelo della batteria 🙏

I literally keep coming back to this video and it just makes me so happy. Gavin is an inspiration. What a joy to watch his playing.

extraordinary and so damn beautiful to watch... incredible drummer, can´t wait to see him live for the very first time ... 2 weeks to go.

Always a blast to watch Gavin play. Every motion he makes is borderline effortless a his touch is so consistent yet natural. Looking forward to this album!

Gavin Harrison the genius of the drums👏👏👏👍😎

This 8" tom sound is absolutely amazing!!!

Fav. drummer ever!

Wow, Gavin is definitely in a whole different level! Great job VicFirth. Thanks for sharing this amazing performance!

It's a joy to recognize his architectural perspective on drumming. You can literally see how he's enjoying to search every time for the perfect fitting embellishment to serve the music.

He's definitely a master of his art

Legend! I'll be meeting Gavin this friday, can't wait! ~ Jennifer (drummer for The Compounds)

Non c'è un colpo fuori posto, ha un gusto ed un tocco che rasentano la perfezione. Fantastico!!!

Long live Gavin Harrison!!

This man is from another planet...amazing

The greatest drummer alive atm, uncomparable technique

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a good Vic Firth vid that was truly impressive. Awesome job sir!!!

I like Gavin's style - he plays with feeling without redundant fills, simple. His drumming completes the piece perfectly.

Just love this playing and song. He makes the drums sing.

I almost never leave a comment. But this is on such a level i just HAD to. Amazing work!

He 's a TECHNICIAN on the drums and makes it look SO easy. I can tell you as a seasoned drummer he is absolutely one of the BEST drummers to live

I'm speechless,the guy is on another level absolutely incredible!

1:20 dat fill!! Love the vibes and flow of the song and Gavin's playing.

It's so difficult to focus on just one thing when there is so much going on ... All those hand and foot movements, you focus on his hands and you lose the focus of his foot ...gotta watch it like 5 times to get a hang of it! He is something else!

Que performance fantástica... criatividade extrema... show 👏🏻🤘🏻

There are great drummers and then there’s Gavin who to me a a musical genius his style along with his dynamics technique and playing skills along his incredible sounding Sonor kit and cymbal work is truly an Art of its own I love his playing I can’t get enough of any drummer that is in a world of their own

The only drum video on Earth that has made me cry.
