Simon Phillips feat. Anthony Jackson - Cosmos video free download

Innovation, Aggression, Precision are some virtues of the legendary drummer Simon Phillips. Phillips' trademark is his precise, creative and very dramatic style which has fueled lot of Rock anthems. His use of metric modulation is notable, and he often uses it to build tension in sections of songs with repeated chord progressions. He often uses double bass drums in the context of a fill.

Phillips has been an endorser of Tama drums for 30 years. His carefully tuned and dynamic drum sound is highly identifiable, and he uses large drums and incorporates octobans and a gong drum in his kit.

Noted for his versatility, Phillips plays diverse styles, including rock, fusion, metal, prog, and jazz. He also plays open-handed, meaning that he plays the hi-hat with his left hand and the snare with the right, not crossing his hands, though he usually uses this technique when playing jazz fusion.
