    Simon Phillips - Bonus episode! short but sweet!

    This was the end of another wonderful conversation with Simon Phillips that wasnt used in the recent Hayman episode, its way too interesting not to use.

Essential Listening for Drummers

What can I say? The host asks all the right questions and the conversations unfold naturally which for me... is perfect.

For younger players, this will probably feel like a history lesson covering a music industry which doesn't exist any more. But take heed padawans, the lessons given about what it takes to be a successful drummer serving the music and your fellow players are as relevant today as they were in the past.
