I went to high school with Gary. He’s such a great guy and an amazing drummer. He’s always lived the drumming life and been true to it. Really happy for all his success.

[@glennp6413]

Guys like a butterfly delivering serious licks on the drums relentless floating fluency of notes spanning all the kit and cymbals with grace dynamics and serious energy.Thats definitely one of my favorites.Blessings and thanks for sharing this video.

[@karlsalocks]

That 16 Men lineup was something else.

[@maverick5863]

Gary Novak !!!

[@DeanWuksta]

him and Vinnie have very similar styles, so dynamic

[@tiagojazz]

i think he is one of the best drummers ever, but he is underrated

[@oscara.garcia5136]

Agreed

[@davidmarsalis1522]

Absolutely.

[@brachashighhopeshomestead226]

because he only plays with the cream of the musicians not on popular venues, his is a true artist with the best of them & at such a young age as well.

[@MrDarkstar620]

@@brachashighhopeshomestead226 He's older (respectively speaking) at this point. Still at the top of the game. Played with Chick Corea too.

[@JavierMartinez-rz4vc]

He was Alanis Morrisette drummer when she was on tops charts

[@evanjazzista]

Out of this world! Novak's playing is as light as a feather on those cymbals! Kudos to the great late Dave Carpenter too.

[@ifgwelf]

RIP Dave Carpenter

[@dg7952]

His name is Dynamic Novak, monster drummer with legend band!!! This is my best setup of Allan Holdsworth, but i also love G. Husband, J. Johnon setup.

[@shred69]

Such good flow.

[@giacomolio5643]

Un trio fantastico!Gary è straordinario

[@davidsuprenant893]

One of the all time greats.

[@theflint7692]

that ride cymbal sound 👀

[@user-bs6du8fz9q]

k custom dry ride such a thicc boi

[@retrayal4642]

@@user-bs6du8fz9qthis actually sounds like the k custom left side ride

[@user-bs6du8fz9q]

​@@retrayal4642 yeah i do agree, for quite some time i thought that was the left side ride (the rivets did do a lot of misleading), but this was 1997, the left side ride wasn't a thing until the early 2000s, so it was mostly likely the custom dry ride instead.

[@retrayal4642]

@@user-bs6du8fz9q it has to be a dry light ride then, doesn’t seem heavy enough for a dry ride

[@cheezruff]

I thought it was a K Custom Dark Ride

[@alhoward6514]

Great one for sure 👍

[@onesyphorus]

wait. OHH THATS HIM 😂😂 used to watch those videos as i got to college

[@SusanMcintyre-xi4yw]

❤

[@TylerHNothing]

you can tell he really drilled this. solo at warsaw sounds really similar

[@ExpressionVessels]

😊

[@thegimpsometimes5937]

I got beat up by a British guy at a bar one time. He looked a lot like Gary Novak.

[@iamfoleymusic]

what tune is this?

[@davi.rabelo_]

what is this ride he is using?

[@dertrommler942]

I’ve been trying to figure this out for 2 years and know one has an answer, it seems.

[@calmac9720]

I'm pretty sure it's a K Custom Dry Ride- it's difficult to tell if it's a 20" or 22" although I think it's a 22- with two rivets added. I'm not sure if they still make these, but they were quite popular in the 1990's.

[@EsaelPaggin024]

I believe it's an old k.Pre.Aged ride symbol with rivets. Zelgin used to have a line actually called k.Pre aged

[@lex.cordis]

If you sent a link of this video to Gary on social media and asked him (a Google search will probably yield something), I bet he would tell you (if he remembers). Who knows.

[@cheezruff]

I'm guessing K Custom Dark Ride.

[@carlmontinstrumentalmusic148]

Yikes!

[@Samsgarden]

I hate the term underrated

[@user-ek2xg8uq1j]

In a world of pearts and Carey’s fanboys calling those bang average players the best ever……..then this guy Gary Novak is certainly underrated.

[@lex.cordis]

Hate it all you want. It's true.

[@onesyphorus]

yeah when its applied to people who ARENT. idk enough to give an informed opinion but this guy here certainly doen't seem OVERrated - ill tell you that 🤷🏾
