Simon Phillips 30th Anniversary Limited Kit and Snare Drum

[jimpatra]

MY DREAM!

[ccaos1]

Looks like one person doesnt want a maple and bubinga sandwich :D

[AdamPonce1]

@the ocDp drummer.... No Todd Suchermans kit looks like Simon's... Simon's kit has been this way for long time now...

[axelnilson]

i would give blood to get this kit

[kijkenify]

how much does this cost

[adam872]

I've longed believed that Simon Phillips has the best tom sound in the business. It's lke a bunch of cannons going off. The recording of this kit just reinforces that for me. I also like the fact that the music playing in the background is some of his best recorded work, such as Give Blood. Holy crap the drumming in that song is astounding.

[persia329]

Wow! Nice give me a discount ha ha ha!just kidding

[KHfan4ever23]

If I only had the money for his signature kit.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

Everything about this kit is great........except the price tag.

[insomniac5150]

great drummer, he likes his floor toms.

[TheOCDPdrummer]

Anyone ever notice that his kit is almost identical to Todd Suchermans?

[gangstaindehut]

i would give nearly everything, exception my drums, to play at this kit one time.

Its completly unintresting what he says. just try to take a look at his hands, feets and see/listen to the wonder!

[supermega1529]

At the beginning when he says "Well hello there!" He sounds like Ben in star wars.

[bertale66]

simon phillips is the best drummer in the world

[JazzyJonas]

Dear Tama, If you make maple/bubinga drums a standard offering, I will buy some. Promise.

[Ambience20]

What song is playing in the background at 4:41?

[paradiddlesl]

@Ambience20 It's Pete Townshend's "Give Blood" Which can be found on the 1985 "White City" album. Great, great CD!

[stijohnforever]

@Ambience20

Give Blood with simon. :) amazing track

[stijohnforever]

@Ambience20

Pete Townshend - Give Blood (featuring David Gilmour)

GO SIMON!!!

[jimpatra]

its a dream kit-and simon is a awesome drummer!! if i sometime earn money i will buy it (drums-not simon..)

[ledzeppelinbojo]

My drums sound almost exactly like Simon's. I have a Ludwig Custom kit with interlacing maple and bubinga wood which in total equals 7-ply. I have 10", 12", 13" 16", and 18" toms (the 16 and 18" being the floor toms) with a 22" bass drum. I use Paiste cymbals, just my preference. I am not sure about the price on Simon's but mine, at 40%, was around 5,500 (in actuality it should have been around 10 grand). I have been saving for a while and my parents matched me dollar for dollar. Both are great.

[drumsanddrumming]

The best! Great taste, everything.

[shiznicks74]

I love this guy.

[koowley]

what's you phone number--google me

[sabalmoza]

The idea of mixing wood is better developed at Pearl Reference series...They pushed it further with different bearing edges and thickness for every drum individualy. :) Which kit sound better? I don't know... But I have a feeling that Tama's kit is developed for Simon's style of playing-soft and one ply heads etc,... Reference series are more "for everybody" just a thought.

[gyro62]

Beautiful Kit,As for Simon, to me he 's simply a perfect drummer , I don't know any other way to put it , everything he does is perfect ,,at least to my ears ! Thanks Simon, for all your inspirartion !! Chris

[Philzwhodrumz]

I don't think I 'get' Simon philips' playing. The phrase at 3:18 for example, how would that sound with two toms? I find him to be a drummer that lets the kit do the talking, not his playing.

[RobResource]

Does it matter how it would sound with only 2 toms? He's playing a bigger kit, thus he can make that phrase and it sounds great.

[Philzwhodrumz]

@RobResource I suppose it is his playing style and set-up preferance; no better or worse, just different.

[porthos08]

I've never stated anything diffrerent, I was just responding to a negative comment.

[Philzwhodrumz]

@porthos08 I'm confused now; I meant that different set-ups and preferances are no better or worse than each-other, they are only different.

[Salzcamino]

Waaiiiit, what does he mean by "transit" of the shell sound?

[AriocKaichi]

@Salzcamino replace transient with the word "attack" and thats basically what he means

[Salzcamino]

@AriocKaichi haha. That makes MUCH more sense!

[ChristofferTombre]

Wow... That animation at the end reminds me of: "Hello! Andrew Kramer here, for VideoCoPilot" XD

Simon, your the best!

[arturmeloyan1]

Super!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chessdude67]

Starclassic maples kit is still my favorite! I've own four of them and won't be changing. Love Simon, but this kit didn't sound that "great" to me. Could be my speakers.

Love Tama drums!

peace.... 

[tamaplayer100]

awsome kit and drummer especially

[drumsanddrumming]

maybe, maybe his signature Gladiator-snare 14 x 5,5" would be the best allround snare?

[trendyjon]

I love all drums but especially my PEARL kit.

[tolisdrums]

shit everyone is moving away fom the starclassic maples...I ve experienced bubinga ans maple sets from tama and, beside the big kick drum sound that the bubinga have, nothing sounds as clear and full as the SC maples!!!It's a pity that Tama does virtually no promotion to the SC maples its the all time classic...Simon always recorded with Maples...:(

[paulwall1981]

I love simon's drumming and I also love Tama drums. So put the two togather and you have the makings of a winning conbination. Tama are no1 in drums.

[MrSteveEllis]

Couldn't have said it better myself! I feel exactly the same way! ...and always remember TAMA stands for Tough And Mighty Artillrey!

[danceryyxc]

omg, when i was younger i looked up the prices of every ``drum piece``

[spikeman23]

I wouldn't be suprised if tama starting making a maple/bubinga hybrid kit next year. I might sound like a tama fanboi but for me starclassics are where it's at. Maple, biubinga, birch/birch bubinga they all sound awesome.

[paulwall1981]

Starclassic for me to Spikeman23. Did you know that Mike Portnoy of DT uses Starclassic drums to? Simply put, these are the best drums money can buy.

[doughauf]

@spikeman23 9/11 Truth Movement

[65Magnifico]

@spikeman23 My first kit was a Tama 'Camco' series, they still sound amazing, just replace the heads and bang they sound great but that was until I heard a real Ludwig kit, it changed me forever!! Ludwig drums just sing in perfect tune!! I recently played on a set of Tama Bubinga & was very impressed. But then I played on a new set of Ludwig's Legacy series, you couldn't get the smile of my face!! I love Tama but its Ludwig for me.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@spikeman23 A maple/bubinga kit would literally be perfect. Then again, the birch/bubinga is already perfect XD

[drumsanddrumming]

I play Ludwig but that kit makes my mouth water..

[bootoc]

This kit is a.b.s.o.l.u.t.e.l.y awesome !!! :-o

[MrFaststicks]

I have played on these drums and they feel and sound awesome!!

[totojake1234]

great video, great drummer, great drums! BRILLIANT !

[OctoJan]

A beautiful kit indeed! And they sound amazing! The new Elite series from Tama are startling!

[PB0277]

wow...this is sick! not a fan of tama but they do sound GREAT!

[SimonBak90]

VERY cool. Really interesting video too. I always like listening to Simon's explanations.

[mat10911]

this set is awesome when is it coming out
