woooooah ! awesome tuning and super sounding toms . Controlled playing. Excellent dynamics. SUPERSTAR DRUMMER. very musical. He is reciting poetry thru his drumming . Love u #simonphillips One of the musical drummers on the planet. Love the hi hat playing. extraordinary. Best example of how to use full kit musically. thanks a ton.
It always seems like him and Cobham has the best sounding toms. They both use big sizes. He is using condenser microphones as well on the toms. Tune the batter head higher than the bottom head to get this sound.
Simon's drums sound absolutely beautiful. ATTENTION!! Especially young players,this is how drums are supposed to sound. DONT try to make your 10 inch tom sound like a 13 inch.
I sold my 7 piece (8, 10, 12 racks, 14, 16 floors, 20 kick) and got 12, 13, and 14 rack toms, 16 and 18 floors, and 2 x 24" kicks. Large drums tuned with some actual tension on the heads sound and feel the best!
After watching this I realize how average I am at playing drums....EVEN after 20 years of playing. Phillips is an Apex predator at his craft. Just superb in every regard. All hail the human metronome Mr. Simon Phillips! Try playing that Tommy Lee, Lars Ulrich, Rikki Rocket.....and the list goes on and on and on. It's a shame some of the so called professional musicians get paid millions live in shameless luxury and aren't fit to shine Simon Phillips shoes insofar as real talent is concerned.
Butch3727 Perfectly correct observation, and I would add, "What Marvin McQuitty was to Yamaha." All of them tend to make you think, "These have got to be the best sounding drums in the whole wide world!"
A drum solo that maintains a groove. How refreshing.
Got to thanks you Tama Drums Germany for posting this, watching Phillips kill it for over a half hour for free was a real gift.
Totally!
I don't think I have ever heard this many toms so exquisitely tuned. I'm seriously impressed. Or rather I am in awe of this.
À chaque fois son touché me procure beaucoup de bonheur ! Quelle carrière ! Big UP mister Phillips ! 🙏👍♥️
Like a good wine, Simon is getting better year after year...He's not approaching perfection...he's perfection !!!
He sing a wonderful song and explain a dramatical strory with his drums 👍
the word that comes to mind whenever i see him play: Sublime!
Just beautiful, and so refreshing, not just loads of tricks and speed, this is treating the drums like a proper musical instrument 👏👏
Phillips reminds us that drums are, in the hands of a master, a MUSICAL instrument.
From 3:50 - 4:10 is BEAUTIFUL!. what an inspiration is this guy...
Those drums and cymbals sound awesome

Will check that
Pure genius. Love Simon solos👌🏻
The 9/8 is wonderful!
How can anyone give this man a thumb's down ? He is an amazing and underrated drummer.
Hello !
He is not underrated ! All the serious drummers know: This guy plays in the champions league!
Rudi Rastlos

Thanks so much for sharing!
I wish I had octobans & toms like his.

the moment when you realize that he has more toms than cymbals
17 drums ! 3 snares , 4 oktobans , 2 bas drums , 6 toms , 1 floor tom and gong drum ! and he use them all ! what a master and what a beautiful sound !
What's your drum/cymbal ratio? Currently 9/13, but aiming 16/19
different Sounds~~!! Good~!!

Simon is to Tama what Dennis is to Pearl
Totally agree!

Phillip I. Johnson I’m sorry: Is what SONNY EMORY is to Yamaha :3
@@mistersBinotto Dave Weckl?
A Drumming GOD
art of rhythm
Buenísimo !!!! Secooooo
Anybody noticed that he has new hats on every tom, exept his octobans?
That's more like it!
My favorite part is from 0:00 to 6:54
What a party! 😁
Best Sandin Drums in the Glob!!! and OK SP!!!
One word: Independence.
Can anyone on here tell me what Tama line these are and/or what wood? Also--for a bonus--which A. Zildjians these are and their sizes? Cheers
This is the way! Rolf @
ほんとサイモン の音いいわ。このサウンドエンジニア見習って！
wow ! 😲
and gavin is to Sonor
if those are stock heads they sound wonderful, if not then maybe Remo clear emperor over clear ambassador?
Ambassador Clear on Toms, Bass Drums and Octobans
Ambassador Coated on Snare Drums
Timpani Clear on Gong Drum
His Tom's would sound better with coated heads IMO.
russ to Mapex
6:27...yo little mistake
Now its time to moan he is not using the snare enough😏
He reminds me of Neil Peart!
Чемпион вселенной 👍
Чемпион мира ❤❤❤
