Finally, someone gets it right.

Totally agree

I was a pro guitarist, had 2 pro drummer brothers, and we all have PHIL E, JOHN B, NEIL P, and RINGO S, on our top 5 list! My 5th is EDDY B. My brother 1 is BUDDY R. and my brother 2 is KEITH M.

Phil is not underrated. Kansas is underrated. Anyone who knows Kansas knows Phil is a badass (and a model of longevity and consistency). The Cal Ripken of drumming.

It was Phil & Robbie on 'Two for the Show ' that locked me in forever!!

Phil handles his drumming like a percussion section in an orchestra. Kansas' music is very orchestrated and Phil supports it perfectly. He's an orchestrator. But he can rock when he needs to! He's got one of the meanest cut time rock grooves ever.

Wow someone who thinks like I do🐸😳

I love Phil but before him was Cozy Powell and Ian Paice doing all this

TO VIEW KANSAS in the beginning,which i did,met the band in 1974 backstage,worked with steves dad,from 4 feet away,the sounds the timing the driving force of KANSAS IS NOT TO BE BELIEVED,ONLY IN CONCERT DO YOU FEEL WHAT I DID,if you think the albums and headphones do them justice,no my friend KANSAS IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL,AND EHART well he's just fricking GENUIS,THEY ALL ARE,I WAS 23 HEARING THEM JAM,NO AUDIENCE,ME AND A FEW OTHER GUYS,I followed them nationwide on vacations,trying to hear that same feeling,same same,too much

Phil Ehart - the best ever!!!! Always watch him play at every concert I've seen of Kansas- from 1977-2017 at least 7x

I hope yiu understand that timpanic doesn't correlate with frequency. The reason the drum dial setting was lower than the batter was because of how incredibly thin a snare side head is. A thin head will have a higher pitch than a thicker head with the same tension.

I don't underrate Phil, he is great!

.....Yes, very true unfortunately. Phil Ehart stands in the category of underrated drummers, as much as Steve Gadd stands in the category of overrated drummers. Music industry is indeed a funny business! Carus Alambra🤔

I had to good fortune to see Phile Ehart in 1978, Always love his work, placement of beats

I totally agree about Phil, but I would throw Alan White from Yes in the mix.

My pick also

Phil is the greatest drummer because he’s a great musician playing in the greatest band of all time: KANSAS! Their first 3 albums are masterpieces 😊

I like 265/385 for low, and 295/398 for the Bonham tuning. coated Emperor or coated dot 😊

Phil Ehart is a beast, truly underrated as well as Ian Paice and Barrymore Barlow

I take Ehart over Peart any day

So true: I saw Kansas live in concert, i think in 2018 or so. And i was so impressed with Phil's playing. At his age, i wondered if he'd still play good, and he was incredible. Didn't lose a thing. What an amazing drummer!

This is the 1$ water guy from the Evanston conssesion trailer

This entire band is top of the mountain players in every aspect including the vocals.

They were signed because of the drummer.

i never heard him play a bad note. he was and still is at the top of my list of great drummers. thanks Phil without you Kansas wouldn't have been half as good

Phil's great ability really shows in recording of No One Together

You said to listen to all their albums and start with Masque why not the first album

Your key word is UNDERRATED! And you are spot on. As is the Kansas album, Monolith, which is very much underrated, too. For me, some of Phil's coolest 😎 work is within Monolith. Lastly, put Graham Leer on your underrated list too.

Cr500?

A band full of Master Musicians! This guy sounds like he knows what he's talking about in terms of drumming. Heard this before multiple times through the years. The time signatures, etc... Yes - Phil rocks, and is a badass drummer -> TRUTH.

I've always loved Phil and believed he was severely underrated. I feel the same about Jethro Tull's drummer Barrimore Barlow.

Bro you're posting a review, doesn't matter if it's your style or not, but most people aren't trying to see your style of video, they're trying to see a review on the equipment. Review the equipment.

Thank you for the detailed look.

Awesome drummer. Awesome band!

No argument's here. Kansas has been my favorite band for more than 45 years, and I've always loved Phil's playing. Laid-back, solid as a rock, and believe me, Kansas's music is NOT easy. There are some crazy meters and rhythms.

Thank you for making this video. I've been a Kansas fan for years. My friend in 8th grade played the drums and admired Phil and played a lot of his riffs/songs. As we grew up, I learned keyboards and we'd 'jam' in his house for hours, playing/hacking tunes we loved. I had the chance to shake Phil's hand as he handed me a drumstick one night after a gig here in AZ at a local casino. All night long I kept yelling, "PHIL" "PHIL"...after each song..."PHIL" "PHIL">>>>.at the end of the show, he walked right up to me ( i was in the front row) and handed me a stick with his left hand and shook my right hand. Always was and will be a classy guy as well as the MOST UNDERRATED DRUMMER in Rock and Roll history. Peace and Love.

I love this.....Kansas was always under-rated and I always thought Phil was an insane drummer who never got his dues from critics....much like the band he played in. Nice work mate.

No question this band was and is my very favorite and music I played to regularly later in my amateur drumming career. Nothing like Kansas.

Phil Ehart was as important to Kansas as Kerry Livgren, Steve Walsh, and Robby Steinhardt( RIP 🎻) was. Kerry's compositions couldn't have worked without Phil. Kerry, in his autobiography Seeds of Change called Phil( paraphrase) " The brand keeper ". Phil is the band's business manager today, and he has final say( along with guitarist Rich Williams)on what goes on the albums today/set lists for live shows. He is the main reason the current lineup still sounds fantastic today

Great video. Kansas Rocks.

By the way.... guess who RUSH calls when the need a drummer? Yep, Phil....

Phil is tremendously underrated, just as Kansas has always been.

I've been saying that for decades, very underrated drummer.

Keep in mind that one of the things Phil was known for was playing actual melodies on his drums!

I love Phil’s drum work.

Phil è uno dei 5 migliori batteristi mai esistiti gente ❤️

Phil Ehart . I met him on two occasions . Nice guy. Phil was and still is an amazing drummer. Tight as anything. As for underrated in a Rock context , I'd say it's a two headed coin ; Phil and the legendary (amongst drummers) Barriemore Barlow from Jethro Tull .

Mitch mitchell was extremely incredible, dont forget about that guy, very musical he was
