The Bubinga Party / Simon Phillips

To help launch the debut of Tama's new Starclassic Bubinga drum line, we threw a party at our prestigious Los Angeles Office. We wanted to introduce the Bubinga Sound to the press, including international music trade magazines. This special night became known as "The Bubinga Party." Highlights of the party included demonstrations, performances, and conversation with featured artists Simon Phillips, and Kenny Aronoff, plus a new up-and-coming Tama artist Spanky. For those of you that couldn't make it to the show, please enjoy the following video clips!

hes is one of the better soloist, that know how to get out of the way and let amazing drums speak for themselves

I've been following Simon since 1979, and to say he has no grooves in the huge body of work he's done is utter rubbish. He has long been a favourite of other musicians for that very reason - the feel and groove he brings with him. By his own admission he is not that technical a drummer. But all this talk of who's best if frankly inane and not the sort of conversation real musicians indulge in.

great drums!! 

[superkadeemx]

Damn that was awesome. Sounded like a war was going down in the jungle

Sound like my Sonor Bubinga Signature drum kit...like a tymphani.

The bubinga toms sound like gods own choir. There are in my mind at least, no better sounding drums on Earth. You want the best drums money can buy, then get Tama bubinga

[Drumboy81]

They are not close-miked, but still miked from the overhead mic. BD is close-miked for sure :)

I want one

I did a drum clinic a few years ago, and after it a friend of mine came up and asked if he could tap my toms. He could'nt figure how I got a deep full sound that still cut through. He tapped them. He said that they were much higher than they sounded from the back. That's part of the doppler affect. What we hear from the kit is ALWAYS going to sound lower out in front of the kit. Just try it. Unless you're on the road, or playing clubs 24/7, you won't hurt anything & you'll learn. Takes time.
