In The Room With Reitzas #1 

I agree totally

Simon is a total monster. He never disappoints. This video is a true gem. This is the pinnacle of what it means to be an artist. What knocks me out is how much David Foster was into, it bobbing his head in time and he’s not a man easily impressed by anyone. Simon was not one of his regular “go to” session drummers in the 90s but he obviously knew such a rhythmically complex and very progressive instrumental track needed someone special and of his caliber. I love the person who said “that’s the shit right there” when he ripped off that monster fill. Like a true master though he was able replicate his part perfectly. for the “punch in” to correct the one figure “dah-dah-dah” or “and-a-one” rhythm figure. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this figure. I felt kind of bad for Caroline Corr having to watch someone else lay down the drums but I’m sure as a pro she knew it was what was best for the track. David Foster does whatever is called for to get the track he wants though. He had Jeff Porcaro replace Danny Seraphine on Chicago’s ‘Stay The Night’ and Carlos Vega play ‘You’re The Inspiration’ on Chicago 17 when Danny just wasn’t cutting it at that phase in his career. RIP to Jeff and Carlos.

Exactly.

you prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know of a way to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.

@Keegan Karsyn instablaster ;)

@Jayden Turner I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

@Jayden Turner It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much you really help me out!

MPCapricorn Care to share what Simon recalled?

I'd love to know what he said!

Let us know!😄

That's awesome. What did he say? The drum break on it has fascinated and taunted me for years.

Qualcuno mi può dire il titolo dei due brani che suona ? Veramente eccezionali

@Mrenginear, A shame, it sounds so cool! Who’s playing the synth solo?

Nah no way. And it's full stop not period. Only girls have periods. You Americans are idiots.

jfureq With cymbals that are half a foot above his eye level. I get amazed how he can easily reach those.

Perfect drumming from a drum hero as musician and a great person.

Or……Caroline Corr just looking amazing like always. She’s either thinking “ how am I going to replicate this live” or “I could always be a supermodel, Simon can’t.” LOL

That's the fill on the final song (if you didn't know), frickin gets me every time

It's just quads.

hi. do you know the name of that song?

Not sure that appeared on any Corrs recording. Sounds a bit experimental. Definitely Andrea on vocal and likely Sharon violin Jim some keyboard work? A very talented group. This is their first record. Foster had a lot of players in for the sessions. Playing live is one thing and recording quite another.

i think she thought "How the f**k do we play this live"

How the hell is he doing that ? You saw hear thinking😮

Damn right! Thé most versatile and ambixious drummer of all time!

Awesome comment

Agree 100%! Though I still haven't figured out what the second track is... didn't it ever get released..!?

Seems so - and it sounds like this track was ripped from the video above here... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XAnMPIUZDDc.html

So agree. It's the second one for me definitely! I love the kicks he hits.

@@t-man78 It was never released. Dunno if you ever found it but, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XAnMPIUZDDc.html

It was to be called "I Don't Know". A great jam that unfortunately never ended up as a complete song. What a groove!!

absolutely!! Her face seems like she is listening to extraterrestrial music!

I saw her play Toss the feathers live. She did it her own way but it still sounded great! She definitely put in the time to get it right. The world needs more female drummers 😊

+Reine des Tartes yes!!! Even after a long break,she still manage to shake the stage with her drumming skill. I am 10 times impressed than i was before.

With all respect to Caroline, a very talented lady and drummer, let’s just avoid any comparison. My word, Simon is the best on the planet.

Only a few exists in that color. Gary husband had one as well. Simon tech has this kit I think and there is one more yellow kit out there belonging to someone I know through facebook.

Bill Bruford had one

@@saladdaze7375 indeed! You are right sir.

@Gregg Hill - Same here! And I did once own their 1st album.

My guess is Foster playing around. Totally out of musical character for this band. He has Simon there so why not?

And he makes it right at 6:05.

Caroline and not Christine

Lol....your exactly right. I had my great performances, but nothing close to simon Phillips. Every stroke he does is precise and powerful....Amazing drummer.

Makes a mistake at 6:05 and powers on like a pro. Love it.

It is not even a “song” as presented here. Not sure if it was ever finished but it’s a mess of keyboards jamming away. Too busy and cluttered.

Seems like they ended up cutting down on room mics afterwards, I dunno.
