Cymbals Posted June 6, 2001 Share Posted June 6, 2001 His bass drum sound on Toto's Tambu is unreal. Awesome...I know isn't all just bass drum, and that there's probably a subharmonic processor on it as well, but man it is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djarrett Posted June 11, 2001 Author Share Posted June 11, 2001 Hey, Drum Dudes:You have to admire Simon simply for taking on the daunting task of agreeing to fill the drum throne once occupied by Jeff Pocaro!Not an act to be followed litely!DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djarrett Posted June 19, 2001 Author Share Posted June 19, 2001 Hey, Drum Talkers! Unfortunately, Simon Phillip's Mom has taken ill in the U.K. and he had to fly there this morning. She is not expected to live through the week. Due to this, we have had to reschedule Simon for a later chat, but the chat will go on as scheduled with a yet to be announced artist. The contest will also remain valid. Please support us in this chat.Please keep Simon and his Mother in your thoughts and prayers.Sincerely,Dendy (DJ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jem33 Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 Looking forward to the Simon Phillips chat and hope there will be a transcript. He's one of my favorite drummers and the high point for me is his 1986 performance on Pete Townshend's Deep End video - "I Put a Spell on You" - with David Gilmour on guitar; the best version of this classic song I've ever heard. His wonderful stage moves/body language enhance his playing so the video is the best way to enjoy this. I've posted some freeze-frames at http://community.webtv.net/Jem33c/simon/index.html He's said in interview that when replacing an admired drummer in a band he's careful to study and emulate that drummer's playing in the band's classic tunes as closely as possible, because the music demands it. I think he's one of the few who doesn't let his ego get in the way of the music and is willing to preserve another drummer's work that way -- more power to him for that! I've always wished he could have replaced my favorite drummer B.J. Wilson in Procol Harum, and around the time they were re-forming (the late 80's) he made a solo album called Protocol -- an anagram for: to Procol. Maybe there's still hope that he can play with Procol Harum. They need him badly. Looking forward to the chat or transcript thereof. Best, Joan ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
