Magazine, Gavin has played with a number of the world’s greatest artists and bands, including Incognito, Level 42, and punk icon Iggy Pop. Best known for his work with the progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, which he joined in 2002, Gavin also occupies the drum seat with the legendary band King Crimson.

A talented author, Gavin has released two instructional drum books entitled Rhythmic Illusions and Rhythmic Perspectives and produced his own instructional dvd's, Rhythmic Visions and Rhythmic Horizons.
