Gavin is awesome...I didn't know he played for King Crimson though. I didn't even know KC was still together lol.

Gavin is one of my favorite drummers as well. His kit sounds awesome. I've heard that he tunes his own drums. He's also a great guy and pretty funny judging by his frequent posts in another chat room that has the words drummers and world in the title. I've added a couple of pics. I like the Gavin Car.

Yeah I am a big fan of gavin harrison, not only his drumming but how humble and down to earth he is. The sound of muzak vid is amazing, i often watch great drummers doing their thing and not care so much about the song that they are playing but this is such a cool song.
Gavin Harrison = One of the best.

He's my top favorite at the moment. Although I didn't like his song choice on the Letterman Show.
Love Gavin! His work in Porcupine Tree particularly, as i've heard more of that than his KC stuff.

Glad that he's topped the Modern Drummer polls for best progressive drummer of the year. A most worthy addition to King Crimson, following in Bill Bruford's shoes. As well as all that fine drumming he's been doing with Porcupine Tree. Anyone listen to the stuff he's done with O5Ric?

I'm a big fan of Gavin Harrison.He's a great drummer and very dynamic
I also love Gavin. Like someone mentioned before, he seems like a great guy and is very down to earth. I love his ghost notes and his dynamic in playing. His double bass work is also nice, with little doubles placed in front of his fills, beats etc.
im going to his clinic tomorrow night here in Kansas City at Explorers Percussion! so pumped for it
I'll be at the one in Denver on the 21st. Very excited.
I will be at the clinic he's having tomorrow in Chicago.
Pretty amazing clinic in Denver last night. I was really inspried by how he crafts his patterns and pull from every day art and structure...and his philosophy on "pegging the CPU" really clicked. Awesome stuff!
I had not seen this one in a while and I just had to share.....................enjoy !
