Simon always tunes his set perfect and has the best tuned bass drum out there.

True, and he actually knows how to put together an excellent solo. One of the best in the world period.

Master of drum sound and dynamics

Simon goes acrylic. Cool, Cobham- vibes!

KInd of looks like some sort of retro set, even has the really tall bass drums like old school. Always thought he's one of the best period.

Bass player has the best seat in the house 🎵👍🏻

Beautiful tone coming from those acrylics. Very cool.

phillp simons is my favorite drummer human

Звук установки очень и очень роскошный я бы сказал изумительный ! И Саймону огромное Уважение !!!

I don’t care where Simon plays, he’s taking his entire rig 👍

Never seen him play vistalites though, but NO gong drum? Lol

Been said, but bears repeating: Superb tuning. Melodic, perfect harmonies between shells - no dissonance, no ringing over tones. Happy heads.

@@sir60man70 I agree with your use of the term "favorite." With all the truly great drummers out there, I can't say who's Best over-all, and I have refused to even go there anymore. Heck, Ringo is still in my Top 5.

The usual Fantastic Simon! Nice new "old school" acrylics with his always perfect tuning!

Fantastic drummer. The Spinal Tap-Moment: when your Bassplayer just 42 seconds after the drumsolo started had a look at his watch. This is really funny!

Such a 'musical' approach to soloing 🤟😎

A genius!!!!!!

I think that's always been the case with him, Cobham influence but took it in his own direction and developed his own style.

Beautiful new kit xxxx

Finesse and Dynamics and great technical ability thanks

Acrylic drums, single ply clear heads tuned up and fully open (i.e. no muffling, no moongeling, no funny stuff to please the sound technician) and here comes that glorious sound Cobham had on Spectrum.

My favorite all time master drummers Big sound

Simon always sounds like Simon, even when playing an acrylic kit, tuned typically toney, wide open as ever and… with triple-flanged hoops on toms for the first time in years (if ever at all)!

So pissed I missed this

Was cool to see Simon Philips play surrounded by a plethora of drums. Don't see that too much these days. Drummers have mostly gone back. to simple trap kits. Anyway a nice ride down memory lane and the halcyon days of the original Bad Company.Another fine offering from the FB and datflys.

I think it’s cool you can see what he’s doing through the drums. When I saw him last year, you were kind of looking up and it was mostly a wall of beautiful drums around him. I prefer the sound of the wood drums though.

👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I had never thought that those plastic kettles could sound...😮

I was waiting for the band to come in... Wait a minute. This ain't dancing men from burning for Buddy? LOL similar intro. 😊

If only Tama made more Mirage shells.... I want that kit!

Brend new Simon's kit??

Poesia ❤

you have more footage from that show?

3:12 Great dramaturgical move!

What snare is he using?

I now have nervous leg spasms from trying to make my bass pedal move that fast.i thought this double bass lol

Simon is that the new Tama Starclassic Mirage kit. I ask because you have more tom sizes than Tama says are available. Did Tama make those for you as a professional courtesy?

Tama often makes custom orders for their artists, I bought a Mirage 18" floor tom and 26" bass drum from one a few years ago

Now go listen to Russ Ballard's "Voices." If you have headphones, enjoy.

He started quite high tempo. I was mildly worried if he can handle solo in that tempo. 😅

He's a maestro-one the very best-but I hope he soon swaps back to a warm wooden kit.

Acrylic never sounded so dope...

Where's all the metalwork on the right side of his kit China etc

Very Cobhamish? 🙂🙃🙂😛😛😛

Just a disclaimer before my rant. The following comment is not a reaction to Simon, who is a really good drum. I've been playing drums on and off since the early 60s and can I just say: I'm so over drum solos!!!! They bore the hell out of me. I'm not a guitarist, sax player, pianist, violinist. I'm a drummer. We and the bass players are suppose to backup the band. We find the pocket/grove and we drive the band right to where they are suppose to be. We don't get in their way or in the way of the vocals and harmonies. We accent and highlight it all. When I'm playing a gig, most of the time I'm not looking at the audience, I'm playing to the bass player. We are suppose to support our bandmates sound the best they can. Let the guitar, sax, keyboard, hell the harmonica play the solos and all the great licks. I'm just there to help them sound great and I love that roll (pardon the pun.) Oh, if I can sing a few harmonies along the way, that's just fine with me. Anyway, that's just one drummer's opinion. What do you think.

Schade leider zu viel Hall - sorry too much reverb!
