It's better if you could see him play, but he sounds great, very powerful.

Thanks for the mp3s! Downloading now... [img]cool.gif[/img]

Yeah, thanks-that's cool!

Thank's for sharing one more clinic with us [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Thanks alot! i love the composition ideas behind his soloing. Thanks again! very inspiring!

Funny you should post some Phillips because I listened to SIN AFTER SIN last night, not because of any fondness for Priest but because of how casually Simon plays circles around their arrangements. It's almost as if he's holding back too, like playing with just his feet and left hand while he sips a cup of tea in his right.

Of all the video Simon I'm blessed with: instructional tapes, Zildjian Day in London, a drum battle with Louis Bellson in a German castle plus some bass/drums with Wolfgand Schmid; my favorite is a DVD of Los Lobotomys at the foot of the Black Forest. It looks like an outside gig and the cameramen are swarming all over the USS Phillips. His playing and dynamics on that is amazing. He nails every figure, accents every nuance, solos compositionally in odd time, accompanies with taste and double-clutches the changes with superhuman power.

If I'm not mistaken Simon and Vinnie were born in 1957. A vintage year for drummers. [img]graemlins/cake.gif[/img]

thanxxx a lot

Hope you guys liked that. Part of Simon's appeal is the visual, I wish I could have video'd it.

The guy is just all about power.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'll say. Downloaded them this afternoon. Listened to them. Spent some time weeping in the corner. Hit the woodshed. Wept a little more...

It's funny you mention Sin after Sin, he was asked a question about that disc, and about Les Binks and he talked a bit about band sBinks was in back then. It was pretty cool.

I guess, only in Michigan.

Moose, he said he never practices, he's too busy.

Made me feel good. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hey Benrand,

Is this from Drumdaze? If so, and you happened to catch DiCenso on your mini-disk, I know a lot of us would be blown away by his playing and concepts. One of the guys I teach with said he was incredibly musical, and he's more of a Gadd guy.

Hey V, this is from a clinic here in EL, not DrumDaze, unfortunately. I wish to God I made that. I just didn't have the time.

I need MORE CLINICS to tape. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Here's another cut from that clinic. Enjoy.

benrand you are the MAN!

Les Binks was AWESOME! That Priest Live in Japan record was Binks at his best. Man, that's taking me back to junior high, but he was so clean in his execution. Hell Bent for Leather was also great!

Thanks for the additional link! Unfortunate that the audio tracks aren't too audible, but amazing playing nonetheless.
