Just discovered this magical thing Gavin has done: listen to Porcupine Tree's song "Futile" from their album, with the same name. Check out the insane drum filling he starts from the 5:30 point of the song. It is "sick", or so to say, in Petrucci-forum lingo, and is going on a 15 beat pattern, complete with full on fast double bass triplets, china trashes, heavy cymbal work, and fast tom rolls. But thats not the magic! Now listen to the song "Way out of here" from their latest album, Fear of the Blank Planet (2007) . Carefully hear the drumming fill he does from the 4:47 point.
Magic isn't it? He, indeed, is a genius! I wonder how he does it. Two songs, two completely different timing patterns, two completely different tunes ... hats off, to my biggest inspiration. Fear of the Blank Planet is a brilliant album; well worth listening and trying to relate to.
