- Hey what's up everyone, I'm
sitting beside Gavin Harrison
and he's gotta a really cool
beat he wants to teach us.
It's a 6-8 herta groove
on the double bass.
And it's in a song called
a way out of here, correct?
- I used on a
Porcupine Tree song
called Way out of here.
And it's also my Way
out of a drum solo
that I play every night in
king crimson in a song called
21st century Schizoid man.
- Well let's hear the
beat first and then maybe
break it down for us.
- Yeah, I'll show you how I
get out of the solo with it.
- Yes.
- Right, so basically the hands
are playing a very regular
Kinda afro-cuban 6/8.
One, two, three,
four, five, six.
Now, The herta is two 30
seconds followed by two 16.
And it sounds like this.
And I failed because
this is a group of three.
If I started the
heart on the beat that
those two 30 second notes
land on the snare drum.
- Okay.
- Which is a bit messy.
- Right.
- So what I did was I
shifted it along the 16th
so the heart of bass-drum
run start on the second 16.
So like this.
And that way it stays
out of the stray drum.
The little colored tricky part
is out of the way
of the snare drum.
- Right.
- And When I use
it on king crimson
what ever solo I play
wherever I go any night
i play it on the
china cymbals and
that's the cue for
the band to come in.
So whatever I've done bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
and that where the
band come back in,
so that's my cue
for coming back in.
- Loved it. Maybe just play
it one more time for us
a little bit slower so
we can really get an idea
of what the screw feels like.
- Okay, so.
- Awesome, thank you so much.
Loved that groove, hope you
guys do too. Give it a
