Drum Phils (To Fill The Void)

© 2019

Drum Phils To Fill The Void (DPTFTV) is a video of drum performances by Phil Warren that is meant to inspire and entertain the viewer.  Its original purpose was to accompany an instrument creation station at the 2019 Crash Detroit festival of street bands.  DPTFTV is equal parts video art and play-along percussion tutorial.

A drum fill refers to a short musical passage, riff, or rhythmic sound which helps to sustain the listener's attention during a break between the phrases of a melody.  In this case, a drum "Phil" refers to a drum performance by a guy named Phil which is so engaging that it gives the viewer a sense of wholeness.
