How does Simon Phillips approach writing drum solos?
And why are there paint cans in his bass drums?

Simon Phillips: Drum Solo Live for BeatIt
Here is the legendary Simon Phillips performing a drum solo during his clinic at Hard Rock Cafe in Warsaw, Poland, on June 11, 2017.
http://en.beatit.tv/simon-phillips-drum-solo-live-for-beatit/
"What I want to convey to those who come to my drum clinic is in part information, in part the benefit of my experience, hopefully some funny stories and revealing the human side of the reality of the music business and drums and drumming. I tend to be very open and loose about it. I only have a plan for the beginning and that’s it, just to open the clinic. The rest is all down to the audience. I hand it out to them and the rest of the clinic is basically conducted on the questions that I get. Most audiences are very good. They’re very forthcoming and it’s never a problem. Occasionally, you get ...

How To *Actually* Improve Your Rock Drumming (Simon Phillips Lesson)
Simon Phillips is one of the most diverse rock drummers of the last 50 years, laying down rhythms with Toto, Judas Priest, Jeff Beck and many others. He’s also a pro engineer, so he knows what a drummer should do in the studio to sound their best.
Don’t miss these three quick tips for rock drummers from the man himself:
1. Never Be Afraid To Play Simply
Drummers have a tendency to overplay, including adding fills when they aren’t necessary. In “The Pump” by Jeff Beck, Simon only plays two or three fills the entire track. Drums sound best when they support the song – not the other way around.
“A groove can actually sound bigger if you play less on the kick and let the snare speak.”
2. It's All About Consistency
As a rock drummer, it’s easy to fall into the mindset of “I need to be a he...

How does Simon Phillips approach writing drum solos?
And why are there paint cans in his bass drums?
A legendary drummer and experienced producer, Simon Phillips shares a lifetime worth of tips in this video for sounding better on the drums.
This full-length lesson features pointers around:
- Approaching drum solos as compositions, not solos
- Treating each limb’s dynamics as independent from the others
- Setting up the drums so they’re more comfortable to play
…plus a ton of personal stories and a rare peek into some of Simon’s classic studio experiences.
You’ll learn that Simon doesn’t start songwriting with a drum groove and why you shouldn’t dump everything you know into a solo.
This is probably the most history we’ve had packed into a Drumeo lesson, and one of the biggest drum sets we’ve had in the studio! Of course, Simon tuned his kit himself, which is fitting considering he’s one of the best-sounding drummers out there.

http://en.beatit.tv/simon-phillips-drum-solo-live-for-beatit/
"What I want to convey to those who come to my drum clinic is in part information, in part the benefit of my experience, hopefully some funny stories and revealing the human side of the reality of the music business and drums and drumming. I tend to be very open and loose about it. I only have a plan for the beginning and that’s it, just to open the clinic. The rest is all down to the audience. I hand it out to them and the rest of the clinic is basically conducted on the questions that I get. Most audiences are very good. They’re very forthcoming and it’s never a problem. Occasionally, you get the tough one, where they’re not so forthcoming, and then, you have to work really hard. They may also ask a question which, maybe, I feel is not relevant. What I do is I do the politician trick. If you notice, most politicians answer to a totally different question than that asked by a journalist. They weren’t asked that question but they want to be. It’s a good trick I learned by watching all these politicians on TV around the world. There’s a lot of that going on right now so we’re getting a lot of experience at that and a lot of practice. Otherwise, it is most important to make [a drum clinic] a fun event. At the end of the day, it is still a show and entertainment. There’s nothing worse than everybody getting really bored or too technical. I try to keep it very informative, with a lot of technical information, but I still try to make it fun for everybody so they have a good time.
When I was very young and I would go to a clinic, I never asked a question. I was too afraid to embarrass myself. I think people think: ‘I hope the question I have isn’t a silly question’. There really aren’t any silly questions because if the clinician is open and aware enough, he’ll make it so that that person isn’t embarrassed. He’ll take something from the question that is positive and useful."

Simon Phillips is one of the most diverse rock drummers of the last 50 years, laying down rhythms with Toto, Judas Priest, Jeff Beck and many others. He’s also a pro engineer, so he knows what a drummer should do in the studio to sound their best.
Don’t miss these three quick tips for rock drummers from the man himself:
1. Never Be Afraid To Play Simply
Drummers have a tendency to overplay, including adding fills when they aren’t necessary. In “The Pump” by Jeff Beck, Simon only plays two or three fills the entire track. Drums sound best when they support the song – not the other way around.
“A groove can actually sound bigger if you play less on the kick and let the snare speak.”
2. It's All About Consistency
As a rock drummer, it’s easy to fall into the mindset of “I need to be a heavy hitter” and just going through the action of playing. But to become a really great player, you can’t forget about groove, touch, and consistency.
Simon emphasizes the latter. Make every backbeat the same. Get that snare dead on every time. If you want the studio engineers to love you, give them consistency!
3. The Power Of Dynamics In Rock
Maybe you don’t notice them as much as you would in styles like jazz or latin, but there are dynamics in rock! A common misconception is that rock should be played at one level. But playing too hard and strong throughout the entire song can mean feel goes out the window.
When the singer is singing, reduce your volume. Be mindful on the hi-hats: tighter in the verse, a bit more open in the pre-chorus, and move to the ride in the chorus.
Simon isn’t the only one who advises rock drummers to keep volume and feel in mind. Todd Sucherman is also a big advocate for dynamics in rock drumming.

2. It's All About Consistency
As a rock drummer, it’s easy to fall into the mindset of “I need to be a heavy hitter” and just going through the action of playing. But to become a really great player, you can’t forget about groove, touch, and consistency.
Simon emphasizes the latter. Make every backbeat the same. Get that snare dead on every time. If you want the studio engineers to love you, give them consistency!
3. The Power Of Dynamics In Rock
Maybe you don’t notice them as much as you would in styles like jazz or latin, but there are dynamics in rock! A common misconception is that rock should be played at one level. But playing too hard and strong throughout the entire song can mean feel goes out the window.
When the singer is singing, reduce your volume. Be mindful on the hi-hats: tighter in the verse, a bit more open in the pre-chorus, and move to the ride in the chorus.
Simon isn’t the only one who advises rock drummers to keep volume and feel in mind. Todd Sucherman is also a big advocate for dynamics in rock drumming.
