      Are you quoting another video or are you just a dumb ass? The only thing he said at the beginning was he likes to keep both bass drums almost identical in pitch. So what's the big deal?

    I thought there is no way I could do that, being almost 100kgs, but when he starting jumping, I changed my mind. Don't think I'll be jumping, however. 3:30 'haven't been through one yet.' Solid endorsement for the drum head company.

    Everybody is understandably astounded by his stretching technique, but I just want to say the towel trick really works. I've tried many different dampening methods, but this is the best by far. Nice, low thump. I have a 22" Tama Rockstar from the late 90s, but my kick drum sounds amazing.

    Well, I must say that after being in music for a few decades doing performance and studio work, I was dead certain I had seen it all. I was wrong...never witnessed anyone using a kick drum as a mini-trampoline. If it was anyone other than a master like Simon Phillips it would be an abomination. It's an abominable act I'll be trying soon. Very cool.

    Tunning bass drums have many things that can affect the way it sounds....size of the bass drum,Type of head used,how many lugs,dryer?more boomy?....i suggest to experiment until you reach the point you really like the sound and how it is feels on you pedal/leg.not very fond of jumping on it,but you should apply a strong pressure to the head to make it sit better on the shell

    Don't ask which recording it was because I do not remember BuT there is a record with Jack Dejohnette playing double bass drums, Jazz tuning so higher pitched but with one of the bass drums tuned quite a bit Lower than the other--- and it's really quite interesting and Jack of course handles it beautifully though he's not known as a 2 bass drum guy,,,,,, wish I could remember which record,,, sorry, lost in the fog of my memory...

    3:29 what happens if the head separates from the rim? Do you explain to the salesman it broke while you were jumping on it? When he finishes laughing at you, maybe he'll be nice enough to exchange it for you. It seems very unnecessary and risky to jump on your bass drum head.

    I first tighten the skins up so tight that when you start to see stretch marks I then spray "fart gas" around the beater head until it runs onto the kick pedal. Then, the split second I play the kick, I pass out from the stench only to come out of an unconscionable state to find my kit was on fire and my leg hair and ball sack was singed! I found out (in hospital) that my solo was where the pyrotechnics was to happen.

    Totally NOT necessary to jump on your bass drum head 3:27. If it comes apart from the rim, you're screwed. If I worked at a music store and someone tried to return a broken head because he jumped on it, I'd laugh in his face. Simon gets his stuff for free, so he can do all the silly tricks he wants.

      Actually no, the big three in drum heads (Remo, Evans, Aquarian) all make their drum heads in the U.S. Tama currently uses Evans as their drum head supplier for the drums they sell. I still would never jump on my bass drum head like a trampoline. That's just nuts and not necessary.

      Most drum head companies have 2ply drumheads which could be considered a thick head, but it mainly comes down on how you tune it and how much muffling you use.
