How To Be A Better Sounding Drummer (Simon Phillips Lesson) HD

How does Simon Phillips approach writing drum solos? And why are there paint cans in his bass drums? A legendary drummer and experienced producer, Simon Phillips shares a lifetime worth of tips in this video for sounding better on the drums. This full-length lesson features pointers around: - Approaching drum solos as compositions, not solos - Treating each limb’s dynamics as independent from the others - Setting up the drums so they’re more comfortable to play …plus a ton of personal stories and a rare peek into some of Simon’s classic studio experiences. You’ll learn that Simon doesn’t start songwriting with a drum groove and why you shouldn’t dump everything you know into a solo. This is probably the most history we’ve had packed into a Drumeo lesson, and one of the biggest drum sets we’ve had in the studio! Of course, Simon tuned his kit himself, which is fitting considering he’s one of the best-sounding drummers out there.
