I think a lick is a specific piece of vocabulary- a phrase is generically the organization of an idea.

Thanks for your comment and for watching! For me a drum lick is a pattern that is orchestrated the same way across the kit over and over. It's a static pattern. Musical phrases on the other hand, are a series of rhythms that can be orchestrated infinite ways to respond to the music. Phrases are also improvised (created on the spot) and most often based on the music being played in the moment. A drum lick tends to fit only into a very specific musical context and is not flexible enough to fit improvised changes in the music. Hope that's a clearer picture of my thinking. At any rate, keep swinging 🤙
