The only respectable way to replace Phil is at least a dozen drummers

[@riccardomata7819]

If i can ask, why him, Colin and Ed werent there?

[@noaj1234]

colin was definitely there, you can hear the bass, ed didnt have much to do, i wouldn’t be surprised if phil was in the crowd of drummers

[@cakredi4132]

You only needed two members of Radiohead and a bunch of college kids to slay a masterpiece in front of a hall full of musicians.

[@arghjayem]

Or it takes almost 30 other musicians to try and recreate Phil Selway, Ed O’brien and Colin Greenwood and even then they struggle!

@@Atlas65 yeah it depends how it's done i think. sometimes it can sound awkward but with just the right touch it's groovy. Yes Take 5 is awesome. Also 7 can sound awkward but Pink floyd made Money sound more groovy than anything. Some bands just feel out how to make it work.

[@Atlas65]

@@halfalligator6518 Yes that is true. Often if songs with that meter are made by an overly educated music major, that analyzes way to much it is most likely not going to sound groovy.
