Gavin Harrison - Sound of Muzak

I was the designer of the Axis pedals!! Was really happy when Gavin chose to play them! You can see his axis double pedal very clearly!

His double cymbal hits is so iconic to me, one of the best around!

I don’t know when or who it started with but Jeff Porcaro was who got me in to the double cymbal crash.

[@petermorrell7436]

Definitely💥

[@cristianerices4609]

Does he hit the bass drum as well with each cymbal hit?

[@salsabilahmedshrestho960]

Gavin the drumming god

[@jameshill4911]

His playing never comes at the expense of the music. He paints around it and adds to it when he’s allowed permission.

James Hill As the great Harry Miree says, he plays into the riff then adds the tasty sauce around it.

I thought ive been playin drums for 25 years. After watching Gavin i dont know what the hell ive been doing.

[@lewisratzker8949]

I can't find the words to explain how his drumming makes me feel, it's just so emotionally joyous for me when I listen to him play, it moves me intensely. He's so so special, a one off, & I think we are all so privileged to be able to listen to & watch him play. I think he's the overall ultimate drumming package like no other before or currently.

Are you rellay searching for the word "POETRY DRUMMING" ? :) Hope you got the message ! cheers.

[@No_thanks780]

Pretty much the best drumming ever in the sense of taste and and technicality. And his snare sounds like Wimbledon....which is a huge plus IMO.

[@catsven1973]

Without a shade of doubt ! Gavin.. Dany Carey.. John Bonham.. Manu Catché.. are unique !

[@82mangini]

Technically? Nope. Thomas Lang, Virgil Donati, Mike mangini, marco Minneman, Dave Weckl, Vinnie Colaiuta Jason Rullo are better!!

[@Daniel_Rodrigues_89]

@@82mangini You can be simplistic as much as you want and treat music as "faster=better", just don't expect other people to do the same. And even measuring "better technique" isn't as simple as "more notes". There's a reason why the vast majority of people supported the coming back of Portnoy to Dream Theater over Mangini some weeks ago. It's not just nostalgia. When it comes to art, being the fastest robot in town is far from being enough.

[@jeffplissken8996]

I was a late arrival to King Crimson and was kind of skeptical of how three drummers would work, I already liked Pat Mastelotto but missed Bill Bruford, and went out of my way to explore the work of every member of the latest lineup and holy shit, I love Porcupine Tree thanks to Gavin Harrison. Seeing King Crimson live in 2021 was enormous, I was on Pat Mastelotto’s side of the crowd for the show and Pat himself was absolutely on fire through the whole thing, but when Gavin played a three-minute improv solo during 21st Century Schizoid Man I was really blown away, some of the band applauded before they jumped back into action, and his solo on that tour’s album release was even crazier! He managed to sneak a bit of Smoke On the Water in the Mexico City concert Meltdown Blu-Ray, you could see Robert Fripp and Jakko Jakszyk having a shocked laugh while they watched him carrying along.

[@mrguillemot]

Never ever get tired of watching the master at work!

[@Pestilent.Dungeon]

I've been playing drums for the past 20 years, tried every single style, practiced shitloads of hours...and after seeing this I feel like I've never touched a drum kit. Gavin's complexity is inhuman. The groove, the odd signatures, the technique, the passion. And it looks like he's playing a regular 4/4 tempo, which is unbelievable.

[@hobofinalflash1681]

The dude is a god, dont feel bad

[@Jokuleelee]

Seen this a hundred times and I still think this is my favorite drum performance ever. The killing mixture of feel, groove, odd timing and precision up to the 1/128 notes. In other words: the perfection of the beauty of drumming.

[@ripitsympatico5843]

Anesthetize is right there too. But good call. I've seen this so many times my wife goes - again?

[@mikemathys4901]

Just a drummers masterpiece. I love his accurate but still colourful style

[@mgtowvalues]

I agree.

[@esterhudson5104]

It’s unbelievable.

[@nisselinkan]

That little tom-tom-snare backbeat fill at 2:28 that matches the phrasing of Steven singing "Won-ders off" is so fucking tastful I just had to stop the video and post this before continuing. The man is truly a genius.

[@nemo89740]

Gavin's accenting vocal lines is the definition of tastefulness. That's certainly a valuable technique to be learned.

[@Richcanvas]

I'm a guitarist, not a drummer but Gavin is beyond incredible. His fills, sound, set up would inspire others in the band to play better.

[@Maaaccccc]

really liked his style. combination of simplicity, technicality, complex. (simple & complex WTF! LOL!) 10 thumbs up for this man. :-)

[@Srikstar]

Never did I think, that I would get to see God playing drums🙏❤️🙏😊❤️

[@tanishdhariyal8002]

His playing fits just...so perfectly. Perfection is not a myth in Gavin's case. Perfect. That's the only word for this. So perfect I can't describe it in words. Literally.

[@omairsh8]

A true *musician* . His playing enhances the music rather than detracting from it

[@timothycooke4875]

I've been irritated as all get-out, and this mellowed me right out. How someone can play 7/4 with triplet fills and calm me down is nuts! I just want to see ONE person who gave a thumbs down try and justify it....maybe the video isn't clear enough...???

[@alfie-deleval-drums]

that fill into the first chorus was so simple but just complimented the track so well. in my opinion he was ahead of his time with his playing introducing chops and polyrhythms just made the whole vibe of any track he played so incredible.

[@PulkitBudhiraja]

I am so glad this is back on internet. Thank You!

[@Aerospacer77]

Beautiful song. Amazing drumming!!!

[@ScottyKirk1]

I'm glad Porcupine Tree is reforming and touring with Gavin! Whoa, that's gonna be a religious experience for sure!

[@glenndespres5317]

Good Lord! I have always love this song just for what it is and how great a song it is without any visuals but seeing how this guy drums just takes it to another level! Awesome.

[@TheRealLazyBear]

even the ending with the crashes..

[@ichbrauchmehrkaffee5785]

stop whining and practice. the only right way to react to superior drummers is to get inspired and try to learn what they are doing. (I personally get inspired by GH, due to his musical and dynamic playing) It will most likely take a lot of time and effort, but noone said, it's gonna be easy. There is always going to be someone that crushes everyone else, but that's not a reason to get dicouraged.

[@DerBomster]

I love how he plays the little cymbals at 3:58. It's one of my favourite elements across all the versions of Sound of Muzak, and it's only in this version that he does this. (And the drumroll following that - it's a bit showy, but beautiful nonetheless!)

[@tylerjacobson8012]

One of the best drummers of the modern era with one of the best songwriters of our era. They really did create some of the best and most underrated music. It’s sad that wilson has moved on from writing pt material. I get why he has and I don’t blame him. It just sucks.
