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.

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.

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]

Thanks. Fantastic. Real music!!!!

[@pbaker7160]

Those drums sound perfect. I've never heard better tuned drums on any live recording.

[@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

[@williamkjwilliamkj1815]

Simon Phillips is one of the easiest drummers to listen to because he is not just a drummer but a musician. This whole band is awesome. Greg Howe is phenomenal. Earnest Tibbs is like 100% pocket. The keyboard player is great too.

[@pedrovalery]

Ottmaro Ruiz from my country: Venezuela. We have a lot of talented musicians in different genres around the World. To name a few: Gabriela Montero, classical pianist Luisito Quintero, percussionist Felix Martín, guitarrist Rodner Padilla, bassist Gustavo Dudamel, orchestra director Gerald "Chipi" Chacón, trumpetist Jorge Glem, cuatrist Miguel Siso, cuatrist Rafael "Pollo" Brito, cuatrist & singer Nella Rojas, singer Robert Vilera, percussionist Diego "El Negro" Álvarez, percussionist Among many others

The timing, ambidexterity, and out of this world musicianship shown here by Simon Phillips once again showcase his truly unique set of skills. Simply put, one of the best. Not many could pull this on off. Simon often gets overlooked by more famous names (in more popular bands) over the years - but those "In the Biz" know all about this individual's talents.

[@robertdrummer5150]

The more famous names are definitely aware of Simon's superiority when it comes to their own craft! They themselves are in awe!

[@caprise-music6722]

You are not joking. As with this whole thing, the musical fill at ca 8:05 killed me with awe 🤯

[@williamparker1085]

its called "open hand" and he is a master of the technique.....very hard to learn

[@johnricercato740]

He’s also a master of complex times signatures - see his work with Hiromi and others.
