captainjjb Group: Members Posts: 310 Joined: Feb. 2006 Posted: Feb. 18 2010, 13:19 My vote goes to Pierre Moerlen - not only as a "drummer" but as a full blown percussionist.  I loved his solo with Mike Fry on the 1980 tour, you get the flavour of it on the Knebworth video. Back to top

wiga Group: Members Posts: 2113 Joined: Sep. 2008 Posted: Feb. 18 2010, 17:42 Ok, well there's two sets of drums going on here - there's a guy on one set, who's name I don't know, and a lady with short curly hair and white 'lacy' sweater on the other. She comes into her own 7 mins into Secrets/Far Above the Clouds - who is she? -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Feb. 18 2010, 18:26 @ Wiga: this is HGP, right? So he is Ian Thomas (George Michael's session drummer) and she is Jody Linscott. She is formally a percussionist. More about her is here. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

wiga Group: Members Posts: 2113 Joined: Sep. 2008 Posted: Feb. 18 2010, 18:43 Thanks Ugo! - Jodi Linscott - she's got a lot of flair, and has worked with all the big names I see. -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

Dirk Star Group: Members Posts: 1331 Joined: Sep. 2007 Posted: Feb. 19 2010, 03:30 Yeah I agree with Ommagest,and I`d pretty much pick those examples I think.There`s a lot of nice drumming on Platinum as well for me,both from Pierre and the session guys.And of course Simon Phillips was always great.Never realised that was Jodi Linscott who played on that tour.As Wiga says she turns up all over the place.Plus I can`t really imagine Phil Collins getting away with that sweater.Even if it was back in his early Genesis days,with Peter Gabriel out front dressed as a hobbit/cauliflower hybrid or something,tongues would still have been set wagging.

wiga Group: Members Posts: 2113 Joined: Sep. 2008 Posted: Feb. 19 2010, 04:03 My vote for most outstanding (knock your 'lacy' socks off) drum piece goes to Crises, and Simon Philips was the drummer, so he's my man. Crises 2/2 - it's one hell of a drumming work out - 7 minutes in. -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

Milamber Group: Musicians Posts: 2263 Joined: Feb. 2010 Posted: Feb. 19 2010, 07:54 No votes for Mike on Wonderful Land   Its easy to see we have our faves and even though SP & PM play the same instrument IMHO(despite early comment) they are not comparable class is class no matter your preference youve got Crises and The Lake but the solo at Knebworth!    **** me. I myself have been playing 20 yrs can only a passable Taurus III. Back to top

The Caveman Group: Members Posts: 2178 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: Feb. 19 2010, 09:24 You're lucky that you can even do that much!Tuarus III is impossible on guitar and god knows i've tried!  While i think Simon Philips is a great drummer you have to hand it to Pierre for being able to play a lot more than drums.The bit in Incantations on the Exposed DVD where he and Benoit are playing vibes.Now that's impressive.Especially since Pierre didn't consider himself a proper vibrophonist (see the interview in the articles section).As a drummer though he was unbelievable.As milamber says the solo at Knebworth is amazing.And he looked so happy while he doing it too.I believe he was quite a troubled soul but on the Knebworth and Exposed DVDs he looked so happy to be playing drums. For further proof of his prowess check out any of the Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy by Gong.Ok i am biased but by god can that man play.Classically trained too. Sadly missed.
