Try "Deadwing" and "In Absentia" by Porcupine Tree. There's also some 'live in a studio' stuff recorded for XM radio that's been released by the band.

Only XM2 is available. But the newly recorded Up The Downstair is good along with the mentioned Deadwing and In Absentia.
There is a bonus disc from In Absentia only found in Europe, has 3 tracks.
Also, his solo cd s good too,.
check www.piratebay.org
or dime for some live video of the band .
Actually there's some KILLER B sides from Porcupine Tree well worth hunting down - and really feature Gavin's drumming ideas.

These techniques pop up here and there but he uses them more live.

Oddly enough he is on the live IGGY POP album from '89.
All the albums mentioned above are essential... pretty much anything he has done w/ Porcupine Tree and his Solo album.
Since Gavin is a musical drummer who plays for the song more than for himself, there are limited opportunities for him to explore beat displacements, polyrhythms and metric modulations in any band. His solo record has more of those things than any of the PT discs do. As for seeing him live, if he comes to your area - definitey check him out. He's got a great groove, time, chops, plus the discretion to know when not to use them.
What you'll see live is more aggressive playing, more double bass, etc., though not that much more stuff from his books.
I transcribed a lot of excerpts off the newest disc Deadwing for a recent issue of Drum! magazine. Gavin checked the transcriptions over so they're all correct. He's coming through Chicago again in October, and he'll probably stop by the Drum Pad again (he's stopped by for a few hours each time he's come through). He's a nice guy, and a hell of a drummer.
Gavin doesn't use those concepts very often on the Porcupine Tree records. The Sound of Muzak (In Absnetia) uses one a bit. These techniques pop up here and there but he uses them more live. His record Sanity and Gravity uses them much more.
BTW - I wasn't referring to David's suggestions, just the two PT CD's he's on.
