[@Andyw1228]

+Emmanuel Aigueperse The rythm is rather simple, but what he does (including the bassist) some kind of back-laid though very interesting.There is kind of a tension between bass and drums. And his fills are the icing- not too much but technically sophisticated.

[@emmanuelaigueperse3584]

I totally agree, really great musicians!

[@eNergievlh]

I agree, but the drums come out so freaking crisp, that's what makes Gavin special.. IDK why, how, but the pristine, crystal clear sound he gets out of his drums are like no one else. I swear I've "seen them all" but even the most technically proficient drummers are far behind in getting the subtleties and power Gavin gets from his kit. It's one of a kind.

[@axcasas]

Am a lifelong fan (I am 51) of prog rock and prog metal, virtuoso music in general. Rush has been my fave band since 1980 (seen them live 21 times) and I've spent the pandemic submerged in Fear Inoculum (I love Tool) For the life of me, how the truck did I miss Porcupine Tree?!! They are way beyond AMAZING!

[@chadmefford7425]

Welcome to the next level. Rush was always my #1 (55). With Neil’s passing, Gavin ascends to the throne of prog drumming in my opinion. Rush On!

[@patthewoodboy]

they have some gigs this year , new album also ...reformed

[@flashbazbo694]

Felt the same way Angel. Several years ago I set up a "tool" station on pandora and PT came on as a similar artist. Immediately had to go see the name of this band I hadn't heard before. Love their work. Been trying to play along with Gavin ever since. (and Danny, and Niel...let me emphasize "trying ;) Hearing Niel play in the late '70's steered me away from 10yrs of study/playing classical piano and jazz trumpet, straight to my first kit. Now, in my 60's, my idea of a good time while getting a workout in, is behind a 10pc Yamaha electronic kit (2 combined into 1 large) headphones on, Moving Pictures que'd up !

Got here due to my admiration of Danny Carey from Tool. I’m so stoked to have discovered Porcupine Tree. Gavin is enchanting to watch on drums. Mind blowing time signature changes and perfect composition without silly flare.

[@StefBelgium]

I don t know why people still mention Dany Carey. I think those who do, have never heard of Gavin. Danny is great but is no where close to Gavin. I ve listened tons and tons of album tracks and live songs of Gavin whether it is with PT, the pineapple thief or other bands, I ve found only a single time mistake...a single. I listenned Pneuma live of the video recently released and found in this single live song, at least 4 or 5 rythm/fills mistakes from Dany. Gavin is a robust drummers, technical but most importantly very musical. One of the greatest.

I have always said that John Bonham was both the best drummer in Rock, and my favourite drummer of all time.

However, Gavin Harrison takes things to a totally different level...the guy is simply a master of his craft.

I once witnessed a brief and subtle moment of Mr. Edwin showing the working man the accents he was playing, while Gavin was álmost on his way of getting lost in translation... ofcourse Harrison picked up fluently because he wasn't yét in trouble, but Edwin noticed in time. And I bet I was one of the very few people who saw it happen, but the communication between them is phenomenal. For a brief moment, I shared a satisfying glance and smile with mr. Edwin after that, when he understood I picked up what just happened there on stage. Wow, do I miss PT live ♡

[@Skye-Hearts-Ayle]

Seen the show in Tilburg and the power of his play was THE subject of the night after the concert, at least within the group of people that i was with on the way back to Amsterdam. Every hit...is a hit (and he hits plenty of mini-breaks still but.. they are deliberately, almost modest, in the background). Number one is still Dave DiCenso's drums in Glasgow Kiss (on John Petrucci's solo album Suspended Animation) with that bass guitar player giving a solo in the middle of a part where he's already playing over 400 notes per minute. Forget about Portnoy, forgive Gavin Harrison and many other great drummer their experimental sidesteps to the classical jazzical outskirts, Prog Rock is where they are at their best.

[@kbrewski1]

I saw the Fear of a Blank Planet Tour 3 times, one of which was the complete album played in order. Absolutely sublime. PT probably at their peak. Devastated when Wilson pulled the plug a few years later. As much as I dig Wilson's solo stuff also, I miss the PT band dynamic. Discovered PT circa 1998 with Coma Divine and Stupid Dream, been a fanatic ever since.
