Simon Phillips: Complete [Full DVD, sub ES]

Simon Phillips has recorded and performed with an incredible array of bands and artists. A partial list includes The Who, Mick Jagger, Tears for Fears, Toto, Roxy Music, Jeff Beck, Pete Townsend, Robert Palmer, and Stanley Clarke. He has a dazzling command of the drumset and has certainly established himself as one of the leading drummers in modern music. For the first time on DVD, and remixed (by Simon himself!) in Dolby 5.1 surround, Simon Phillips: Complete includes Simon s groundbreaking videos Simon Phillips and Simon Phillips Returns on one disc. This DVD combines brilliant trio performances with concise and informative instructional segments. Simon demonstrates the drum patterns played in each song, first slowly and then up to speed, and covers topics such as double bass drums, bass and snare drum tuning, hand/foot independence exercises, practice techniques, timekeeping, odd-meters, and playing with a click. In addition, he performs two incredible free form drum solos which incorporate the fiery technique and ambidexterity that he has become known for. Also included is brand new footage of Simon in the studio, explaining the concepts behind 5.1 surround and his own mixing process.
