Came for the insane tom span, stayed for the incredibly tasteful, musical, dynamic drum solo.
Nothing you can't do if you have superhuman talent, constant dedication and continuous practice...
SUPER!!!!
Makes it look so easy. That's how great he is
Even after all these years, it is still a pleasure to watch Simon play!
Simon is one of my favorite drummers of all time. Original, always fun to watch and amazing. His drumming style is unique ... no duplicating here!! Love watching interviews .. he is a precision communicator like his drumming.
I so much more enjoy drummers that utilize dynamics and musical taste rather that seeing how fast they can play and just bashing the hell out of everything. Simon is a prime example of musical taste and dynamics.
john lindquist
I concur
Hello Ben Woodhouse!
You are right here. I can name some other drummers here. I will do that later with another context.
The Purple Love Assistant
And dave weckl is like playing guitar
Have listened to him on "all the best cowboys have Chinese eyes" an album by pete Townshend? If not worth seeking out!
I agree, but point much more palatable without shitting on the fast players (passively). Its equally as enjoyable for some.
simon is so unique there's no body like him ! i could listen to him forever he makes that drum kit sing !
All trolls commenting negatively : I suggest you make a video of yourselves demonstrating your so called ability, post it on TH-cam, then let the rest of us who admire and look up to this man/ drummer/studio engineer/producer, and session legend, be the judge of whether or not you're deemed worthy of even being as good as his pinky toe nail..Oh, then you can show us your career spanning credentials with famous musicians, artists, and bands..Better get cracking..
looks to be a 90's Starclassic Maple in British Racing Green!
I think we know where those thumbs have been.
Rhythmista well said mate .
Miss this man so much with TOTO. Always went to see TOTO 10 plus times every tour. ( 9 times for Simon only)
Me too! I hope he returns one day as long as they are touring. He has developed so much over the last 15 years (I swear, he's even more musical now!) and i would LOVE to hear some new Toto music with his skills.
I loved toto live because of Simon.
Totally musical solo, not just speed and technique, cool motifs and an awesome sounding kit that actually sounds like real drums
Any doubt concerning who the best drummer is? Love Bonham, Aldridge, Peart etc but hands down Simon Phillips is one of the greatest ever. I've been drumming all my life and I love em all but Simon is King in my book
Terry Bozzio and Carl Palmer be and Steve Smith
AND Mike Portnoy.
Fabulous tuning of a gorgeous set, by a fantastic musician, playing a dynamic solo void of continuous blast beats. ROCK ON
He is the only drummer that DOESN'T need any tonal instruments. It is more than rythm, I can hear sound too. Incredible. The best drummer of the world today.
not many if any drummers make a solo sound like a piece of music simon did it was beautifull.p s.ginger baker and simon my favourites.xx
Thanks for sharing..
oh wow phenomenal sound and talent
J’adore son style, son jeu, sa sonorité.....méchant virtuose
Sir.. you are a unique drummer💐💐, loved the performance a lot
Love this guy after all it isn't what your play it is the gaps you leave he always make his drums sound amazing they look amazing and he plays so effortlessly you see so many drummers and you look at their faces and you think they're trying to bang one out he is always relaxed like I said it's not what you play is what you don't.
Excellent
Absolutely Mint!
Those TAMAs just sing! Beautiful sounding kit and a wonderful musician!
A melodic powerhouse of a drummer with an impeccable sense of timing.
Only about 50 years of practice and playing gone into that solo. Seen him with some great artists and he always elevates them with his own talents
That little fill sequence starting at 5:05 with the double kick just before the crash to finish it... SO tasty
And 5 min 26 he thrash till death
No hay como una buena base de Samba para armar buenos solos de batería 😎👌 Simply Amazing! Grüße aus Deutschland!
Simon your are still the man.
There's so much that your doing.
I love it.
It seems like you always take it to the next level.
Thanks for that treat.
I got so many ideas from that.
Thanks.
My god he's good, I only dream of playing like this man
Simon Phillips: *has almost a 20-piece kit*
Also Simon Phillips: *uses 5 of those pieces and STILL creates a musical roller coaster*
I am not sure if I ever heard a better sounding set of drums than these.
Justin Case they are Tama starclassic maple with no muffling except the kicks.
I was going to say Jon Karel's drum kit on The Number Twelve Looks Like You's album Worse Than Alone..but that was also a Tame kit haha.
I can vouch for that. I bought a set of beat up starclassic maples and with fresh heads, they sound like pure sex.
Virgil Donati, Thomas Lang, Gavin Harrison
I totally agree that his kit is among the best you'll ever hear but in this particular vid it sounds like tom 37 is about 1/2 step flat.
Thwt snare sound.....
One of a very small group of super elite drummers.
no muffling, no tape, TAMA drums are as flawless as Simon himself, the thud/punch of those bass drums are so sweet, he makes the kit sing.
Simon Phillips my favorite drummer ! Thanks for this video ! ;)
Just goes to show drums do not have to be loud to be heard. Excellent job with the soft hits and unbelievable rhythm and timing. AWESOME Drummer! Incredible!
One of the very BEST!!!!!!
Me pregúnto quienes serán los que dan dislikes?? Será que tienen noción de quien están viendo no sólo por nombre si no trayectoria entre los grandes de las baterías este Señor....
I've never seen or heard a drummer with more feeling then this...perfection.
Gavin Harrison
I added way too many extra chilli flakes to my pizza. My nose is running like a bastard and my mouth is on fire.
Nice drum solo Simon.
He holds the stick almost at the end yet maintains so much control!
Damn!! Awesome!
A true legend, brilliant control, dynamics, crisp inventiveness. Could listen to and watch him all day. 🤘🥁☺️🥁🤘
That snare.... it sounds so good
the best drummer,,,,,,,,,,, no doubht abouth it,,,,
It's keeping time Jim, but not how most drummers know it.
thumbs down ?? ......... must be drummers that are only playing in their own 4x4 small toilet studio ..... for the past 30 years
Those chops...and that tone...
Will he appear in Zildjian Live?
I think Mr. Phillips has matured and become much more musical as time goes on. Fantastic playing!
My jaw dropped so damn hard. too hard.
Master! 🔥
This is my Uncle .... he’s good huh?
Nathan Phillips dude you are lucky af
Nathan Phillips Lucky man you are! I would love to have a drummer like Simon as my uncle lol
Ryder Grimes Imagine lars as your uncle lol ...All the smacking while talking at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
He's great
Yeah, he's great! I met him a few years ago at an event not related to drumming. I elected to pretend to not know who he was, if the conversation moved onto drumming I was just destined to look a dork so I didn't risk it! :)
11:07 got me like "He's gonna play Rosanna!" hahaha
Hahaha same here
Yes its like Rossana intro
Nice.
I love to see his green kit back again. In which times does he use it? because I have seen him to use the Star maple kit since 2009/2010
this green Starclassic is his European kit .
@@ohrid59mk76 last year he toured Europe with his Star Bubinga kit. I haven't see his Red/Black fade Star Classic in years. Did he lose it in the fire? This Green Startclassic he's started using again in the US the last few months.
He is the Boss o dem drums! Geez!
I'm a drummer and I admit that I'll usually be the first to hit the concession stand when a drum solo starts at a live show. That being said, I could watch Simon Phillips play all day. Both he and Gavin Harrison do such musical solos; they're the only ones I really enjoy watching.
one of the best drum solos i've ever heard was by Marco Minnemann!
put this in your search bar. /watch?v=ev51uPMB-XU
it's starts off with the band for about 5 minutes but everything is freaking awesome!
i agree with you though! Simon Phillips & Gavin Harrison is just masters of the kit!
Agreed. I would say the same about Steve Smith (most famously of Journey). Steve is a tonal-composer: th-cam.com/video/_WRrIQj-nZQ/w-d-xo.htmlm3s
th-cam.com/video/cYDeX2NzoYA/w-d-xo.html
Weckl Who?...….
Trent Davis yeah I'm a huge Simon fan and one of the main reasons I love his playing is he never plays the same solo
That’s some sick split work and open-handed independence and dynamics and tuning and...well, I could just go on and on. Geez, what a beautiful solo - there’s just so much to love about it. Simon is a hugely under-appreciated drummer.
Nice!!!
The whole 'olympic chop out' gets tired real quick. Simon's musicality is inspiring, man. 13 straight minutes of aaawwww yeeeeah 😌
Rob Brown yessir!!!!
Agreed. Love your channel Rob!
Rob Brown i hate this comment section😂
Beatdown
The teacher is here
I feel like the story-telling aspect is lost on many young drummer's solos. And seeing how you are spending a year covering the development of soloing, I'm excited to see what you bring to the table. I have found great value in your channel.
SP, ex Judas, MsG. From jazz to heavy, he can hits notes by notes easily
I first saw Simon play when he was about 15 at a party where there was no room so he set his kit up in a very small bathroom and he sat on the lavatory!
Even then, he was a force to be reckoned with and we all said "This kid will go far."
Monster
How anyone could thumbs down this is beyond me. Couldn’t be any actual drummers. Superb solo!
Liquid Audio
angry deaf people who can't hear is the only excuse i can imagine.
Probably someone who doesn't like green.
Liquid Audio
Apparently you are not familiar with the drummer Ego 😲
Liquid Audio Impossible to agree with you more. Great, tasty solo from the master. Simply loved it!
He is a millionaire or close at least and his timing between hand and foot is not so great. I didn't thumb down but this solo is too sloppy for him. His worst solo I have ever seen. There are lots drummers way more advanced than this but since you want to idolize him go right ahead. He isn't the best by a long shot. He is still one of my favorites.
Simon: “I’ll be over soon, just gonna pack up my drums and we’ll jam”
I'm a huge, huge, huge follower. I think that Simon is probably one of the best drummers on Earth.
Honestly, this is not his finest moment.
Virgil Donati
I've been listening to him since he played with Jeff Beck and Michael Schenker. The work he did with Judas Priest on Sin After Sin was also great. He is like a fine bottle of wine, he get's better with age.
"Give Blood" which he did with Pete Townshend is still one of my favorite tracks.
Simon Phillips is the consummate professional drummer. He plays with such great taste and feel and I really love the sound of his drums. I hope he gets back with the band Toto some day.
Sicuramente uno dei più grandi, tecnica unica classe indiscutibile, assolutamente eccezionale
Eric idle is here
I love his tasteful drumming and his natural, open, full and warm sound of the drums.
He made some little "mistakes" in this solo, but in this high range of drum art, you can get easily over it
I never realized how much Billy Cobham influenced SP. Drum set up, matched gripp, left side ride cym, low Hi hat etc...
Dynamics!
I first saw him in a band with Stanley Clarke 40 years ago. He was already other worldly at that age. Fully ambidextrous.
4:43 wtf why Simon ? 😂
Super musical solo
That was just insane! Simon is like a mad scientist....so creative....impeccable timing......beautiful sounding drums.....a true master.
greetings from salzburg city ...-.---.----# wolfsair tala ralf jäger are blinde
This man is Amazing!!
Saw him with Al Di Meola's band (Jan Hammer, Anthony Jackson and Mingo Lewis) back in the early 80's at the Hammersmith Odeon and I came out thinking "best concert I've ever seen and apart from Tony Williams and Buddy Rich, the best drummer I've ever seen!") Still is my favourite living drummer!
so much of my favorite drumming comes from the 60+ year olds
Carl Palmer. . . 70+
Isn't it weird why a snare drum sounds so good? I mean his snares certainly sound wonderful but in-general a snare drum sound is so satisfying ....
I'm with you. It's a Tama SLP Classic Maple 5.5x14. I ordered one before the video was finished.
There is an interview which he says that his kit is always the same but he is always changing the snare.
Interesting you say that actually, I've never really felt that way about snares. Yes I like a nice snare sound of course but I never loved the snare sound just in general. go figure. I like toms I guess
The authentic reason here is that he's sounding great (no matter the year/show/drum kit/snare/band). A drumset without the musician is just that, a thing. Almost all drums will sound good if something like Simon is playing them. Leaving that concept behind, for me Tama drums are the best for a lot of reasons and personal experiences, but well, that's just a matter of taste and feel also. This guy will be missed someday, it's one of a kind
mediumstudio I agree, I especially love his side snare
I always wondered why so many drums till I saw this video and the way he travels through his whole set is totally amazing!.
probably the most dynamics I've ever heard a musician ever play....! I love it. I always made an effort to have dynamics
Un tipo muy cálido, dispuesto a compartir sus conocimientos, y es un gusto escucharlo tocar.
Uau!! great great great
5:29 I love this drum beat with the breaks
how many toms do you have? YES.
Dear god. What can one say? I remember hearing him for the first time on Pete Townshend's White City and thinking ... holy crap, who is that drummer? Here we are in 2018 (as I read this) to find out what a lion he is.
DT's Digital Den I love that album.
I Just saw a live video of give blood only a week ago. Blew my mind. I'd never heard anything from white city before. Had me on the verge of tears it was so huge.
DDD, there is still time, to dig some serious stuff from the past!

over 300 albums later
I remember an old Modern Drummer article on him, and the author wrote : «After watching Simon Phillips, the bad thing is that you can't help wonder : what are the chances that I'll ever get this good?».
That was 25 years ago. Imagine now...
Oh, and no way some of these toms are not the same size.
hugolafhugolaf Actually, none of them are. He had an 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18 at one point. Plus the gong bass!
When I first saw him live I thought I should do something else than play drums, but now I use him as inspiration instead
Ondraus Cissell small correction there man,Simon's smallest tom is a 10 x 7 inch although back in the Ludwig Octaplus days I think he did use an 8 inch concert tom.
I saw him in the Tama booth in 81' and i haven't stopped trying since the guy is GODLIKE inspirational all the way!tm
optical illusion
top 5 in my ...drum god....H.O.F.
Simon Philips.. impeccable technique, jaw dropping mastery, wonderful musicality... what a fantastic drummer.
1977 Judas Priest releashed SIN AFTER SIN.WNEW IN NY.kept playing. DIAMONDS AND RUST.On the Radio.I said WHO IS THAT DRUMMER. WOW...I killed 2 birds with 1 stone so to speak.discovered a Great Band and Drummer!
Великолепный филипс
dynamics.... Dynamics..... DYNAMICS.... D Y N A M I C S !!!
My favourite drummer. Grand Artist! 🤘
I feel like I am hearing folk music in his melodies. Very beautiful.
Please make an album again with Toto sir, love ur playing so much
10:30 - 10:45 shows decades' worth of experience and sounds facking incredible. Try locking into that feel, guys. Lol
kudos to whoever set that kit up
memory locks help
SP is known to set up his kits at times...
Tama has memory locks now for their toms. Plus usually pro drummers have their kits shipped as is when touring.
An absolute pleasure to watch!! Thank you Mr. Phillips!! Amazing!
wow ,most of my chops must have come from listening to you !
