The Simon Phillips Warm-up Drum Exercises - Part I

This is part 1 of Simon Phillips' warm-up exercises, as part of three. The music and drum virtuosity of Simon Phillips inspired many drummers to go down new drum roads, to learn from one of the most celebrated drummers of our time.

In the video with this article Simon shows you how to make the best of the first four basic rudiments and how to turn them into an advantage in your playing. If you nail only 10% of his level, you will do more than fine as a drummer on rudiments and fills. We already published this video in 2014, but sometimes the Drummerszone Vault needs another push for all to learn.

And for the fun of it, we added a 15-minute drumsolo Simon played at the end of the article as well.
