    This is unreal!! I'm 63 and have been actively listening to jazz and jazz fusion since I was 12 years old. I've heard drummers from Buddy Rich to Billy Cobham and many more of the greats. Simon Phillips is absolutely one of the best I've ever heard! He can play any and every type of music with incredible precision and understanding and self awareness. And even though he has a huge kit, he doesn't overplay... ever! He is an amazing drummer. He's one for the ages!

      Look at his who-he's-played-with-CV, it's crazy. There's a reason he got all those top gigs, he's brilliant and a great pro.

      ​@@robertreedy414indeed - his technique is effortless 😍. I think since in the 80s records, that drum sound&tune we can identify he's the one behind the kit. Love his works until today....

      Indeed. People to often undeservingly label drummers as one of the greats but truer words have never been spoken about this guy right here. I’ve studied his playing for so many years that I’ve developed post traumatic stress disorder trying to wrap my head around how good this guy is lol. The man is so sick he definitely qualifies for free healthcare

    If Rush were ever to do one last tour for say, in memory of Neil Peart, Simon would be the number 1 choice. He's just as musical and unique as Neil ever was, but of course in a different way.

    • @SuperflyTNTdaShizzle

      Peart couldn't begin to play a lot of Simon's stuff!

    • @shannonmiller5648
      @shannonmiller5648 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      As a drummer of going on 25 years and a massive fan of both drummers in question I couldn’t even begin to agree with that sentiment. Phillips has always been comfortable within a wider variety of musical genres than Peart no question but Peart absolutely had the technical ability to play anything he wanted. That being said Peart didn’t have the natural feel for all genres and had to sit a learn things outside his comfort zone. In some ways it made his limited ventures outside the progressive rock realm seem a bit rehearsed and more robotic. Probably makes Phillips the better drummer but Peart was still a very technical player and absolutely had the technical ability to play anything. To say he couldn’t begin to play a lot of Simon’s stuff would be an inaccurate assumption. However I would have liked to see Peart venture more outside of progressive rock. I guess we’ll never know what all he could have done. Regardless of how much credit anyone is or isn’t willing to give Peart, he was a brilliant human being who certainly deserved better than to go out the way he did. I’m still pretty devastated over it honestly

    I saw Simon do a drum 🥁 clinic when I lived in St. Louis in 1987. I wished I had changed to the open handed technique back then. I knew at the time he was considered the best double bass drummer in the world 🌎. Does drumming get much better? Maybe some of Dave Weckl's work. But that is splitting tiny hairs. Also discovered Weckl back in those days. Dave's St.Louis Drum Teacher was in the audience for his drum clinic. Wonder what that felt like as the teacher of a master player.

    • @shannonmiller5648
      @shannonmiller5648 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No. Drumming doesn’t get any better. Dave is certainly right up there along with cats like Gavin Harrison, Danny Carry, Curt Cress and a handful or so others. None of which I’d say are any better or worse. When players make it to this level of skill it’s no longer a matter of who’s better. Just different. At that point it’s just a matter of who’s personal flavor resonates with you as an individual the most because the playing field is otherwise level where skill is concerned.

    1 bar in 3/4
    1 bar in 3/8
    2 bars in 4/4
    200 bpm quarter note ca.
    Or...
    1 bar in 6/4
    1 bar in 5/8 (the one on the octoban)
    2 bars in 4/4
    The second section is in 5 dotted half note (15/4) + 3/8
