The one thing I don't like about Philips' playing is the tone of his drums - that clear plastic drumhead material on the toms doesn't sound good - sounds like the go-go drummers sitting on DC corners playing empty inverted 5-gallon plastic buckets (who are good but it sounds like plastic buckets being whacked) - interesting, I never noticed much before
@TadRapidly He has been like that for yrs. Sure doesn't affect what he does on that contra bass Guitar ,now does it !. he is a master, a bass monster!,an original how many can say that?.
@gady100 he's not left handed... he's actually right handed but he needed space for his toms and his hihat stand was in the way so he chopped off the top of it and then he noticed that his hihat was so low that he couldn't play it with his right anymore(if he as playing the snare a the same time) so he started playing open handed.. that's why he can switch back and forth between playing right and left handed(watch some of his other videos and you'll see)
Simon is not left handed, he simply suscribes to the same theory that Billy Cobham started over 35 years ago - to apply four limb independence to the highest level. Left foot hi-hat, dominate bass right foot, tom degression left to right = right hand kit. Left hand kit is just the opposite.
he already played for him on his double cd set there is a song where he plays his sugnature pattern heck the credits on it. Simon Phillips is the drummer on that song.
yeah on the cd its the exact same right hand patern he plays on Protocol when he is playing the pattern I know cause I learned it it is on that double green coverd cd with the clocks on it look for Simon Phillips on the credits to the song and you'll se how he sounds with Joe.
Simon is the best drummer in the world, i have seen he in a clinic, he is very very amazing and funny, I have learned much from he... excellent dynamics coordination and sense of music, he is a step ahead to all

Damn it!! I just love that progression line that Anthony plays from 2:51 to 2:54. Only he could have come up with that one.

@scabeba I have heard that Simon is left foot dominant when he does double bass drum stuff though.
