well, as the beat spans over 33/8 notes, its quite alot to memorize if the pattern isn't in some way repetitive. So i basically think he grouped different patterns in easier bars, such as 6/8 for one part and then another part in 8/8 for example, so that it would be easier to memorize the structure of the entire 33/8 bar. its quite hard to explain but i think you get what i mean.

Best way to think of it is as - 1 quarter note, a dotted 8th (or 3 16ths), followed by 5 8th notes - repeat twice.

@Simoto92 Well, you apparently don't play it as 3 bars of 4/4 or 8/8 and one bar of 9/8 AND you wouldn't count 33 beats anyway. You'd memorise the beat pattern in 33/8 (that's what folk musicians do).

That hi hat's almost underneath his snare.
Great player.

This is pretty retarded to call it 33/8. Instead you can call it 3 bars of natural 8/8 and a forth bar of 9/8.. Alooooot easier than counting 33/8 like each separate bar
-
it's really 33, if you want to count this, you can in the intro with the hi hat pattern:
LRLR LRRL RLRL RLRL RLRL RLRR LRLR LRRLR: 33/8!
sry fo english...

Funny to see him playing the same set-up, obviously in his younger days, to the one he plays now. Exactly the same.
I had no idea porno music was done in 33/8. I guess you learn something new everyday!

@cowboy0212 They have two totally different styles but I would say that Simon Phillips is a much more versatile drummer in that he pretty much play everything from Rock, Metal, pop, fusion, vintage jazz. The list goes on and on. He has chops but plays with just smoothnes and finess.
