About Gavin Harrison
Gavin Harrison is an accomplished English musician. He is reputable for his extraordinary talent with percussions. He has performed with popular British bands like The Pineapple Thief, King Crimson and Porcupine Tree.
Music Career
Harrison’s interest in music was sparked by his father’s extensive jazz collection. The gifted musician began drumming professionally at the age of 16. His budding talent soon opened up opportunities for him to go on records and tours with artists and bands who were already riding high on the fame wagon.
Apart from playing with thriving bands, Harrison performed with several artistes in his day, including; J Cole, Randy Goodrum, Nathan East, Mick Karn, Nick Johnston, Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin.
The revered percussionist has been lauded as a skilled lyricist and an awesome music producer. He produced original music albums in a relatively contemporary genre of music known as classical (or progressive) rock – a genre in which he specialized. The musician had taken a liking for this sub-genre because it involves more sophisticated instrumentation, more melody and more poetic lyrics than the more renowned traditional rock.

Rolling Stone polls rated the talented instrumentalist 3rd best drummer in the last half-jubilee.
As of 2021, he has won “best progressive drummer of the year” 5 times in the Modern Drummer readers’ poll and 6 times in DRUM USA Magazine.
