    Simon Phillips - Regarded as one of the world's most renowned and respected drummers, Simon's style not only reflects his technical gift but also his distinct musical sensibility. Whether rock, fusion, or jazz, Simon applies the same precision and intensity to his drumming, which never lacks emotion, intensity, and feel. Throughout the 1970s and 80s, Simon worked with diverse bands and artists, including Jeff Beck, Michael Schenker, Pete Townshend, Mike Oldfield, Judas Priest, Mike Rutherford, Tears for Fears, 10cc, and The Who. After Jeff Porcaro's death in 1992, he became part of the world-famous rock band Toto.
    After leaving the group in 2014, Simon continued his extraordinary session career and explored new and exciting areas of the fusion and progressive rock worlds as both a drummer and producer.

      @w4tkn 23 дні тому +1

      Normally I would agree, and the same goes for all his toms but this red one I felt too harsh for my ear, tuned higher than my tastes. Still exquisite playing, and If I was offered this kit there's no way I would turn it down.

    • @geoffwilliams7240
      @geoffwilliams7240 17 днів тому

      I thought the same - the snare is ON POINT. It’s got the precision of a ‘symphonic snare’ and the ‘throatiness’ of a rock snare; perfect.

    • @joeblow-nu7mz

Jeff Porcaro was a groove master. I love Jeff. What Simon did with those songs was masterful. He made them his own while paying tribute to Jeff's original parts.

    Been watching Simon for decades, each time is always beyond amazing. At his age to play like this with that melody still going and being soooo crisp and precise, it's just a a level where it would take most of us 17 lifetimes to obtain this guy's vocabulary and playing level. We are truly blessed to have Simon. Love how Simon stuck to his big set, and it seems even bigger, he stuck to his unique finger print and didn't conform or go to a smaller set like most trendy drummers that follow the crowds/trends. Peace

    The exceptional hand speed and independent use of all four limbs is apparent throughout the years of Simon Phillips' drumming career. He is a very consistent and versatile drummer, and anyone who he has performed with will attest to that. I have been working on my independence since I have been forced to learn to because of the size of my kit. That was the driving force behind Simon's open handed drumming style. You can see that he can lead with either hand, or foot, and the way he uses his left hand on the ride cymbal too. This is the man to take lessons from if you really want to perfect your skills.

    Simon Phillips is not just a drummer, he is a musician. His solos, and his playing are not motivated by super speed whit zero musical meaning, like most of the youtube or tik tok drummers this days (AKA el estapario siberiano), au contraire, he is beyond that and plays music, which is rich in tonalityes and most of all, dynamics.
    I've been watching him for many years and to watch him playing with many people like Lee Ritenauer, Hiromi trio (probably my favorite collaboration of Simon) or the last Protocol album its every time such a pleasure for the senses. Watch him playing is to watch how he moves, how he gestures and how he sound (probably the best sounding drum kit ever) and the result every time is a master piece of pure high quality music.
