The Simon Phillips Interview -A Look at Music History with a Drumming Legend
Join legendary drummer Simon Phillips for a reflective loo through his extraordinary five-decade career in music. From his early days as a teenage session prodigy in London’s bustling studio scene to becoming one of the most sought-after drummers in rock and jazz fusion, Simon shares the stories behind the grooves that defined generations. We walk through his formative years backing artists like Jeff Beck and Judas Priest, his iconic work with Toto where he brought explosive energy and technical precision to classics both new and old, and his ventures into jazz fusion with his own Protocol series and collaborations with players like Dave Weckl and Billy Cobham. Simon reflects on the evolution of drumming technology, from acoustic kits to electronic innovations, and how he’s adapted while maintaining his distinctive powerful yet nuanced style. Along the way, he opens up about the discipline required to stay at the top of his game, the challenges of balancing touring with studio work, and what keeps him inspired today. From recording sessions with The Who to his current projects and teaching the next generation of drummers, this is Simon Phillips unplugged—candid, insightful, and still very much in the pocket. Lace up your shoes and take a walk with one of drumming’s true masters and one of the most iconic musicians of our time.Support the show: https://musicsavedme.net/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
