Regal Tip Endorsee - Phil Solomon

Regal Tip Drumsticks and brushes
Phil Solomon

Phil is one of the UK's very top drummers and was recently honoured by Drummers Incorporated, the major national society, who have made him their Vice-President. Born into a musical family, he became a professional musician in 1967 and has since covered all musical genres, from traditional styles right through to the most modern dance rhythms.

Aside of work playing with various big bands, Phil now runs his own band along with his brother, Trevor, who is a very fine trumpeter. He is also very much in demand to accompany shows and cabaret evenings and has worked with Bob Monkhouse, Lenny Henry and a host of TV stars. For some years, when available, he has played in the resident band at the Grand Hotel in Brighton.

Since the mid 90s he has formed a very close working relationship with celebrity organist Michael Wooldridge. This has taken them throughout England to play shows and concerts. They generally receive a tremendous ovation and remarks along the lines of, 'The best night we've been to in years'. They also work together in jazz groups and to play the cross section of music from old time through to pops that is needed to make functions go with a swing.

Off stage, Phil is renowned as one of the very best drum teachers in the world and is often featured in seminars so that other drummers can have the opportunity to learn from him. He has written ten tuition books, which are widely used throughout England and in America, and has schooled many pupils to become professionals in their own right: one of his students made 20 albums during 1998. He is the only person to have twice been asked to adjudicate at the prestigious National Young Drummer of the Year Event, held in Birmingham each year.

He has written for both 'Rhythm' and 'Drums UK' magazines.
