I started drummin in April of 86, after a trip where my Dad The Beatles to my attention. Not long after Toto's I'll Be Over You was released. You, Mr. Gould, along with Jeff Porcaro would become lifelong sources of inspiration. This all after I spent years chasing chops, playing prog metal, and the such.. I recently integrated the groove approach of you three masters, and the results have been life changing. Even after 38 years of drumming. I just want to thank you, Phil. I absolutely love your playing, and am thankful to have been able to enjoy for so many years. Thank you. Dan.

The reason I started playing drums in 1987 and still my biggest inspiration to date. Thank you Phil

The most underrated drummer ever an absolute genius who is still with us but not recognised!

This man has always deserved more recognition than he has had, a great drummer with brilliant technique.

Phil Gould and Jeff Porcaro...childhood heroes and for me the best of the best.

Unreal drummer still. King of groove and hi hat technique

So effortless. Like water flowing. Aka Sprezzatura in italian. ❤

Such a beautiful drummer

Phil Gould: I have listened to his drumming style for decades. By far the best unique drummer ever!

Very underrated drummer. Some of those licks he plays still puzzle my mind. And we can not forget the signature sunglasses!!!

Phil Gould is a master!! He is in the Gadd & Porcaro category!

One of my all-time drum heroes. It's ridiculous how stunningly well he can make the (usually) poking jagged accents of odd time grooves roll along like there's not sharpened at all. It's like Vinnie with Manu's flow. Phil became his hero, Harvey Mason, for his own generation/Gen X. The dude playing 80s pop's straight'sh beats with the sick R&B pocket of the 70s greats. That made funk fusion danceable and into *actual songs*, the ringer musician chops tetris'd into the 4/4 format.

This Man, This Drummer, This Musician, was, IS, & will forever be to me like a percussive version of Mozart, a Beethoven , a Bach ; because his feel and pocket feels like liquid gold giving nuanced sophistication & joy to his creations. Phil's talent is some of the best to ever grace the drum kit in my opinion & to my ears😊. Phil's skill, sheer musicality and sensitivity born of so much creative passion; demonstrates his push and pull on time & rhythm when creating with others. I absolutely love his incredible mastery, of sound, tone and grace of touch with those sticks. I will ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL FOR THE DAY HE chose to POUR HIMSELF INTO THE KIT AND MUSIC. He & Jeff Porcaro give me goosebumps. I met Phil when I was a young man in Camden Town seeing Dennis Chambers play... Phil was my musical hero and he spoke to me briefly when introduced with warmth, & excitement at seeing Dennis and with so much humility the encounter really delighted me and is ingrained forever. HE was cool then but from then on his music and feel have remained the elusive haunting 'song' inside that I foolishly try to somehow externally replicate in my own fashion when I play on my kit. A lovely person...who is mesmerising to watch and listen to & food for my musical soul. THANK YOU MR GOULD!🎉❣Thank you for the music and for all the sacrifices it's taken to create all that you share & develop.😊👋

Understated, underrated genius. I adore this bloke, no one sits in that pocket like Mr Gould, a childhood hero and playing better than ever.

You are my favourite drummer of all time. I would never have taken it up until I heard your drumming on World Machine. A huge inspiration to my life. Thank you

Wow that is sssssoooooo smooth and perfect. This is a master lesson in groove. One of my favourite drummers. Phil Gould is up there with the best drummers of all time.❤❤❤

Masterful, Phil.

i love this, sound, like level 42 from the early years! Funky Jazz

My favourite drummer of all time., this guy is who got me into drums.

Love this guy my time

Who would have thunk a bottom K hi-hat would sound so good on top?!

Phil Gould is an absolutely brilliant drummer. Such understated taste in his playing. I've read a few times and in a few places that Jeff Porcaro was a fan of his. I think that says it all really..

Love your work Phil.

Genius at work

This guy was and still is one of my drum gods….. growing up learning the drums I’d sit and study his technics, just loved his feel, he was and still is a fantastic drummer…. Hats off to you Mr Gould 😊

Great Song! Drumming perfection!

Just the best drummer still . King of groove

Just lays the groove down with ease. Awesome

Gorgeous groove!

Oh man.. so tasty. The groove, the feel. Could spend all day pinching licks from this.

Phil you’re the man, always thought L42 missed his groove.

A relaxed master plying his trade beautifully - thank you for sharing - all the way from Australia.

It doesn't get better than this.

He so very freaking talented , amazing drummer i allready noticed when he played with level 42 , using the Beat up high head , just like that , amazig drummer!!

Good God, is there anyone smoother on a drum kit than Phil Gould. I could almost watch him play with the sound off.

Extremely relaxed playing while staying perfectly in the pocket. This needs more views and likes!!! 🥁🎶👌
