I've been to one of his drum clinics. It changed my life. I've been a fan of his for over 45 years. I saw him in concert with Jeff Beck. He's such a pro.
Simon Phillips makes intricate drum patterns seem simple and understandable at first...then everything becomes convoluted in his own given time-signature.
Not fast. But even. *30 seconds later* BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why?? Just learn the exercise - it's great! Who cares if you can't play it as fast as Simon Phillips? The important thing is to get a good sound out of the drums and play with good time, and the point of this exercise is to help develop those skills. I don't think Simon ever learned this with the intention of being able to play it super fast - the speed is merely a bi-product of him practicing it more many years. I think when he plays it really fast here, it was likely to have been after someone requested him to. So I think really it's a little out of context. I certainly doubt he wanted to use it as a means to show off for the sake of it - he isn't that kind of player.
Simon Phillips is not the fastest drummer, but he has very even , regular strokes.Known ( among other drummers) for his musical style of play and his tom fills.
Transitions is where you can experience the usually better capability of drummers to keep or come back to the overall rhythm and tempo than the other musicians. (from a semi- professional drummer )
I admire Simon's musicianship. His drumming is excellent, but he's not just a technician; he understands song structure and the importance of silence and space. Overplaying is a baaaaaaad habit. If you're a professional musician, it's easy to tell when you've lapsed into overplaying by the way that your phone stops ringing. Nobody wants you. One of Simon's real strengths is his ability to play the part the music needs and not a single stroke more. All great drummers could/can do it. I can't do it...😁
I can't believe that someone out there ( namely Mike Oniell ) Thinks this guy is a dork. When you have the chops , musicality , ability , Flair and commitment that he has then you can call him a dork.....Somehow I don't think you probably do. Iv'e had the pleasure of meeting him and I can assure you that he's anything but a dork. Get A life and a brain Mike. Sounds like you need one.
Simon Phillips is a great drummer , but it's clear that most commenters here are not seasoned drummers. lots of talented ones can play these basics flawlessly as well.
For a little while, at the beginning, I thought "yeah - that's cool, I can do that!" And then he became Simon Phillips...
Exaclty what I thougt :-D
That made me laugh haha ,and then he became Simon Phillips , he's so amazing in technique and musicality , mind blowingly stuff😂😂

That last tempo is insane, wow
Still quite basic though.
Simon is really, really good
Learning how to stop, then start again on time is key for a drummer as is phrasing and not overplaying everything.

Sound quality at tempo, awesome. Pulsed and drug through the transitions. I love the interpretation of straight 16ths.
Unbelievable. A master class.
Great exercise and well played! Simon is so talented
WOW! Amazing drummer!!!🥁
Simon is a sensei we should all follow! ( :
Incredible !
I'm going to see him for a master class at drum center of portsmouth on the 30th. Can't wait!
I knew he was good. But this sit me back in my seat. Wow !!! Not too many drummers can do that
As he used to say on his drum tutorial dvd:“And now... very fast!“
Crazy stuff. Very cool!
Not fast. But even.
*30 seconds later* BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, I've been playing for literally 50 years. Now I want to burn my drums.
Know how you feel 😂
We're all frustrated drummers wishing we could be as good as Simon.

Oh , and he's a master at tuning his kit to perfection.
Great Stuff

Wow ... that's impressive
Very impressive.

I'm gonna leave a link for my next incarnation.
Only three Letters to describe that WTF and WOW Simon is a machine

Yeah, he actually is. Check this one where he does his alien level: th-cam.com/video/x_nQJrhS5SA/w-d-xo.html
@@drummerszone jesus christ, thats insane
Not really. Many good drummers can do the same. Simon Phillips certainly isn't the fastest. He's known for his regular strokes though.

I can't do it...😁
Simon is cool
That was unreal
I have them on twitter. Greetings Drummerzone.👍⭐🤙

What kind of snare he is playing?
Dang it my lawn mower doesn't even run that smooth!

I second the Motion
Senri Kawaguchi led me here and she is right, this man is scary good.
I quit... again
Wow, that consistency though 😮, I've yet to understand how finger control works at that very fast speed??
A master
Damn.
Simon and Jeff Polcaro were the 2 go to men
#TheLegend🎼!!!
verdammte scheiße.. wenn ich mal so schnell und gleichmäßig den fließenden Übergang hinbekomme, bin ich 50 :D
Ich bin 50 und kann es noch immer nicht...
Wouldn't it be good if he could be on drumeo ?
Yes, I said to myself.
this is how we do it . . .
I wish he'd explain his technique...the tease
Holy shit
😮
Just dropped my sticks and walked away. Jk!, I practice 4 hours a day. Man that was amazing.
yeah,..........ok..........................i think ill try bass .........whole notes, half notes,quater notes....... dotted quarter eighth when i get fancy
Livelli top
fantastic! :D
but am i the only one noticing a slight pitch difference between his right and left hand? the right hand is higher-pitched than the left
crymzynplague - its how the drum is tightened
Weight of the sticks are not exactly the same.
Yup. It’s rare that one stick has the same exact pitch as the other, even those touted by manufactuerers as being pitch-matched.
Fuking cool when gets rolling
shーーーーーーーーit❗️
Guess blasting is not n issue for him 😬
Wow has he stopped playing tama?!
gusbandicoot no. Never... Tama forever...
No one mentioned the perfect snare sound
Those “are” Tamas in the video
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhcccckkk
Jeenkies
Amazing! The real fast ones didn’t have the 4 stroke. Understandably!
Simon Phillips is a great drummer , but it's clear that most commenters here are not seasoned drummers. lots of talented ones can play these basics flawlessly as well.
Yeah if you would fix you're hands you would sound even not jerkey
I am faster! I practice the 10 stroke roll. It sounds like a machine gun. Ratatatatatatatatata!
Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
