Simon has the absolute best drum sound I’ve ever heard.. TONE ..

[@timothycroke5307]

Simon Phillips never ceases to amaze me, a perfect blend of technique and taste.

[@EleanorPeterson]

Smooooooooth! Love it. Nice to see musicians relaxed and smiling. When you know nobody's gonna get fined, punched, slapped or sacked for making a mistake, you can just play and have fun. It comes across in the music.🙂

[@torstentrost2826]

One in 100 years... if not more....WOW !!!!!

[@MP-ju4ol]

I love listening to and watching Master musicians speak to each other through their instruments. It’s truly a gift to behold. Music is the spoon that stirs the soul, it cannot be escaped. I always find it hard to believe when another person tells me they don’t listen to music. Music cannot be escaped, it would kill the soul.

Simon Phillips simplemente el mejor, remplazo en TOTO a nada menos y nada mas que al rey del grooves Jef Porcaro...El solo verle los gestos a Gavin cuando ve a Simon ejecutar los rudimentos, se llena de felicidad.
