Phil’s Drumming on Morning Bell

Gonna make a bold statement here and say Phil’s drum part during the outro of Morning Bell is some of his best work, if not his best, in the whole discography.

The 5/4 time signature isn’t all that insane by this point in the song, but the choices of doubling the snare roll at certain points, going no snare roll at other points, adding in the ride, it’s just such a sick groove. Particularly at 3:40.

Again, not technically insane, but, as Phil does so often, it just perfectly fits the vibe and tone. Amazing part.
