Randy,
I think Gavin is a really under-rater groover, let alone all the chops he can do. His DVD is great, but I prefer the grooving to the beat-displacement!!!

i agree!
I think one of the reasons his groove is so deep is because of all his polyrhythm and beat displacement skills!

Man,
I had tickets to go see Gav play with Porcupine Tree this weekend in London but a session for LWT came up so I'll have to sack the gig off... [img]frown.gif[/img]
If anyone wants these tickets, PM or email me. You are welcome to them free of charge...

Speaking of Gavin - what are those great little splash/chime cymbals he uses in a set of 5 to his left? I have a similar setup of cup chimes, but that's not what he is using... Randy, did he e-mail you back about it? I'd like to know who makes them... here they are...

He was still using him last year after he changed endorsements. Don't tell anyone, but they're Paiste's!
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No I don't think they are. Like I said, I have the same setup of Paiste Cup Chimes, and they sound and look bit different... I suspect that he had Zildjian custom make these for him in specific pitches... 4 sound like bells and one sounds like a small splash...Quote:

Hey Randy, maybe you can e-mail this thread to Gavin so he can step in?

I could very well be mistaken, but those do look more like small splashes [in differing diameters / pitches] to me...then again, now with a magnifying glass :cP, the "beveled" edges look like specialty "cup-bell-chime-splashes!"<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Man, cheers; that's really 'on the level' of you, mate.

Hey Fuse,
My pleasure mate, it'd be a shame seeing them go to waste! He's such a player...
The last time I saw Gavin, he was using a set of Zildjian Crotales. They are pitched bells that usually come in octaves and mounted on a special stand. They are like traditional chimes but thicker and louder.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, yes, yes!!! I am glad someone said it... that is so true!Quote:

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The ones pictured above, and the ones he has been using for a while now are definately not Paiste accent cymbals or Paiste cup chimes. Trust me! I have all of the above.Quote:

I suspect Zildjian made these for Gavin, now I just need someone official to confirm this. I e-mailed Zildjian today and Randy e-mail Gavin a few days ago...
These damn things are driving me batty!
Using those cup chimes is so...70's.
GOOD. [img]wink.gif[/img]
