    Loved Phil’s drumming with Level 42. When people were rattling on about “the bass player in that band” I was the one pointing out just how steady and funky the drumming was. Was very lucky to meet Phil at a master class a couple of years ago and he is such a nice guy. Never meet your hero’s ? So glad I did

    Many years since I first came across what I used to call the Phil Gould reverse hi hat groove (1986). Really good that you have broken this down for me as never knew how to approach it. Also great to know people like yourself the other side of the pond having got into the Phil Gould/ Level 42 sound. All the best, Paul H (UK).

    @pearsonchris Před rokem +1

    Rob, this is brilliant. Not sure if you recall but as a fellow Phil Gould fan, I asked you about this in your drummers hang in October '21! Just found one of my comments (referring to his use of it in Hot Water on the live album) when we talked about it at the time:
    "​It's on the physical presence album. But it's a very Phil Gould thing where he opens his hats mid groove in the sort of way you would play the hihat pedal on 2and4 when playing the ride"

  • @drummermomcjs

    Lovely. A touch of Motown there ("pea-soup"). There's a lot to like about the simplicity, and it grooves because the hi-hat sort of anticipates the next downbeat giving the whole thing momentum. When are the signature shoes coming out?

    I find it funny when you talk about as in counting. Phil's been playing triplets for years. (not having a dig btw). I asked him ages ago on facebook before I got hacked why he alternated between right and left hand playing. He said he'd play open handed when a song didn't have ghost notes (IIRC)
    I'm not sure what drum track your playing of his on this. Is this his new album?

  • @Mudge07
    @Mudge07 Před rokem +2

    Great combination of a groove with a feet-lifting stomp along with the hi-hat swinging the arms in a “forward motion”. Level 42, four funketeers, relied on Phil and Boon being in the pocket with Mark and Mike; a great period of the band’s musical history and one which I also admire both live and on disc.
