Simon, i miss You on Toto concerts

Those ten times you asked yourself "does he still know exactly where the beat is?", he answers you with a crash and kick on the next 1. Glorious.

@ericwilhelm2941 3 жыл бұрын

Cause Simon has ears . he got off a little bit . you can hear Luke stop playing the Riff and come back in after a few bars .(between 3:20- 3:25 ) so Simon stops at 3:29 and understands HEARS that he was off and comes back in on an 'e + uh ' it takes huge balls to do this obviously ....to stop listen and 'readjust' ....instead of keep blasting and speed up or down to be together with Luke Greg & Lee, who know 'Pocket' . Great lesson here by the Masters

@AdamFoldes 2 жыл бұрын

@@ericwilhelm2941 If we want to be truly analytical… at that part Luke (and Lee also) was going together in time with Simon. He stopped playing because he heard that Greg was a bit behind. Than he came back on “one” - still in time with Simon but again stopped playing because the piano part was lagging. Then Simon adjusted himself to the piano… and Luke came back once he was sure that they had the sync again… These are the situations where true musicianship shows…

Spoken like a true drummer!! I love you can play this in 4, or a 3/8-5/8, or a 3/4 or 6/8 time. Just to get all the various possibilities and feels out of the riff.

a Masterclass in how to build a simple ostinato , here very similar to Ravel's Bolero, then smash it out of the park into a different stratosphere. This line up is just stellar. Lee, Luke, Gregg, Simon et al... I was fortunate to go to a few gigs on that tour...

@fenderstratocastertelecast8479 8 ай бұрын

No precisamente su heredero. Simon es en el reino unido un tipo con vasto pedigree... Desde los 70s Pero si, Lukather ya había colaborado con el cuando tocó con Santana y Beck en 1986;, y unos días después de la trágica muerte de Jeff, le confió " no hay otro baterista que nos pueda ayudar en la próxima gira (kingdome of.desire) y que se.nos venga a la mente, más que tú"

Simon just becamke my fav. drummer and that's very hard. There are some really seasoned badass drummers out there who also can play any gig and session (Vinnie Colaiuta anyone? The list goes on), but it's very hard to beat Simon's wacky inventiveness, control, deep understanding of multi-meters and his unique, relatively unprocessed and open "ultra detailed hi fi" approach to the drum sound. He is the perfect replacement for the great, late Jeff because Simon doesn't even try to emulate him.

I hope Rush decide to continue, and invite Si-Phi... I think he is one of the very few who could do that gig... But whether he would want to do all the electronic drums that Neil Peart did...?
