Simon Phillips' Drum Channel Masterclass Drum Solo

Who needs a band when you’ve got Simon Phillips?! 😂 No party tricks. No “shorts”. Just pure musicality. A true master of the art. Thanks, Simon and Drum Channel, 🙏🏻

Simon will go down in history as one of the most musical, influental and complete drummers of all time. His level of ambidextrous control is insane. He truly is one of the GOATs.

Such a technical and melodic drummer. A very rare talent

"Simon, how many rack toms?" Simon: Yes!!

Simon has the most beautiful drum set layout I've ever seen. He uses it so musically through his famous open-handed technique.

A very musical drummer...over the decades: the immortal Simon Phillips.

Simon's performance is brilliant as always. The triple snare is unique.

Simon is an incredible player. A real treat to watch.He knows his stuff.

Simon has the most beautiful snaredrum sound I've ever heard. And what a fine drummer he is.

His drum sound is very distinctive. Always fantastic

A real Master !! And his snare and toms sounds amazing as always. Toms so open and clean. Snare tuning...perfekt to my ears 😊

Been watching Simon for decades, each time is always beyond amazing. At his age to play like this with that melody still going and being soooo crisp and precise, it's just a a level where it would take most of us 17 lifetimes to obtain this guy's vocabulary and playing level. We are truly blessed to have Simon. Love how Simon stuck to his big set, and it seems even bigger, he stuck to his unique finger print and didn't conform or go to a smaller set like most trendy drummers that follow the crowds/trends. Peace

I love Simon Phillips. Dude is a BEAST! So smooth and fluid. He makes it look effortless. Going to see Toto again in a couple weeks. Man, I wish he was still with them. Jeff Porcaro was a groove master. I love Jeff. What Simon did with those songs was masterful. He made them his own while paying tribute to Jeff's original parts.

Out of this world, always musical and a technical masterpiece

Quel grand musicien, je me lance jamais de l’entendre, quel groove, technique exceptionnelle , dynamique, orchestration, fluidité, tout y est, il est vraiment un virtuose

Simon is just the full package. A master on the kit, musicality that has been world class for decades and the best example of a true professional.

I could watch and especially HEAR Simon playing for hours and it wouldn’t be boring one single second! 😍 Holy smokes, what an amazing Drum Solo he played 😍🙏 Thank you for uploading it, I will watch that clip probably every single day the next weeks 🥴 All the best from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋

There is a little Bozzio and Cobham in this solo. The drums sound amazing too.

Love his unique style. Perfect timing, as always

A true drummer who’s playing does the talking no BS theatrics or roller coasters no names mentioned
