Simon - one of the greatest drummers in the world!!

[@kavemankarl2588]

He is indeed, and we can't spare those; is it already almost two weeks since Neil Peart passed? Phillips may not have reached the stratospheric status of the latter, what with being considered the best of the best and all that, but no need to be a god to be damn good and Phillips is damn good.

[@metalinl-a1128]

Simon is if the late Neil Pert went more into fusion

[@kavemankarl2588]

@@metalinl-a1128 You may be right. I find it unfortunate that Rush, a band known to flirt with many a genre, never experimented with a more jazzy rock, or even just with wind instruments, be it just for kicks. I would be very surprised .if none of the three mastered a sax (for example), clarinette, flute even. Peart's robust yet disciplined style would have served him well in fusion. But Rush was known for keeping very tight schedules, I guess they had to draw the line somewhere. Pity for Peart to have worked so hard, piled up so many millions of dollars and then pass while his dream retirement palatial home was receiving the finishing touches. He had planned to study philosophy on a quiet domain he had acquired in Quebec near the studio where Rush had recorded their best-produced material.

[@mullewap6670]

Super druming Special 👍

[@patrickdonoghue7]

@joseph munden do you are have stupid

[@archie34734]

Who said musicians don't work hard. The amount of time and energy Phillips obviously spent to write that drum part, every little twist and turn of that composition that needed to be learned and executed perfectly. Hard work indeed.

[@Vor_Tex_Sun]

He's an absolute master

[@scottdrumm4828]

Amazing musicians 🎸🥁Awesome music 🎶 awesome video thanks

[@Juanvanemmerloot]

What a BRILLIANT session and performance! Great studio by the way... And the band absolutely killing it...SUPER TIGHT!! ...and Simon ...WOW Mindblowing performance ...

Heard them live. Out of this world concert.

I know 210 👎🏻’s who haven’t a clue of recognizing true musicianship. Been following Simon ever since seeing him on The Who’s Tommy tour in ‘89. (live @ Dallas-Cotton Bowl)

[@DavidJames-df6nj]

I’m amazed to just discover Simon Phillips at 62. He’s the same age as me. What an amazing drummer. Loving everything he does right now.

[@drummer510cb]

Simon and Greg Howe together, magnificent!

[@dunesbra]

Freaking awesome. The drum tone (toms) is out of the world, specifically the bass drums. Jut WOW! I mean all of it...just wow!

[@bluebassett2]

I always love how musical Simon's playing, and solos are. Saw him back in 1980 with Jeff beck. Amazing player. Definitely in my top 10,

[@MrShippens]

This is sooo awesome. I like that interplay and that great groove and music. Gettind goose bumbs while hearing. Great music. Thank you 👏👏👏🙏

[@emirmartinez9735]

Every time y see Simmon makes me feel proud to be open handed drummer!!!!

This is Pure Raw Talent .. And Much needed these days

[@giuseppealbanese7933]

This is a perfection Simon he is a top master .wow !!!!!

[@drumsNstuff79]

Those huge rolls across the toms are so satisfying, aren't they? Incredible! When I look back on Simon's career I'm impressed at how versatile he is. He could do Pete Townsend power pop and Jeff Beck fusion all at once!

[@TheSteelynation]

Simon is a "Sinner" who continues to enchant people with his magnificent music.

[@ELK1989612]

I just love how Simon can basically take that one triplet feel to anything, and make it sound like the best thing ever. Truly amazing.

[@biltateojr8747]

Unbelievable bravo 👏 My favorite drummer ever!!!

This is such a GOOD ensemble cast... each voice is so talented... the recording is fat, crisp and massively transparent... real audio gold guys...

You need to offer a hi-res digital download of this session for audiophiles like me. I'd love to have the album, but since I don't a turntable... I do have a killer PC setup with a Wyred 4 Sound DAC, Wyred 4 Sound pre and amp, and some big Dunlavy SC-IV speakers that sound amazing.

[@elioneal6192]

Been a fan since the paul young Pete towndson love this stuff guys keep doing what you do ✌️😎

[@MP-ju4ol]

Hey Little Big Beat, it’s very true. Composition comes from Piano, Guitar, etc. When Guitarist write, pianist write, it’s the origin listeners are use too. Drummers sometimes heavily compose for drum with emphasis on beats and rhythm with melody either missing or thin. Simon is rich in sound, coming from funk, jazz, and fusion. Love it! Come to the SF Bay Area and share it please.

[@RogierRJDonker]

You guys make such beautiful recordings! Thanks for being this generous with material. Just awesome!

[@sjnorman2]

Good lord.... This is insanely good.

[@Dragonballsoffire]

Master piece! Splendid!

[@jakethepitador2558]

Beginning drummers working on technique can learn from this video: work on your left hand for ride patterns on hihats/cymbals, not just your right, will free up your right hand to the rest of the kit, so many new possibilities for you. 👍
