Total drumming nerd 🤑🤑🤑

Assŵipe

Y'all should have tested the Beyer mics! They would have been right up there. Super happy to hear about SE. I love their vocal mics....

The song was a massive hit because Phil Collins is one of the best of all time, its more than just drum fills, the guy understands music and how it connects to the soul which is why its powerful. You guys did a nice job, I enjoyed listening, thanks.

You have problems with formal logic. What an idiotic title (and you).

"WAS a fan ? you are cooked but , ya got me to klik I spose .

Could be shorter.....

This video is waaaaaayy too long! 😮‍💨 Seriously, get to the point! 🙄

Dave Grohl drumming on With Teeth from Nine Inch Nails is the most solid and groovy, what a fucking legend.

I was just listening to my favorite genesis song yesterday.. no reply

Sometimes bell on 5 and 7 and other times I noticed bell on 5,7 & 8. Grooves are fantastic!

Look up the deer playing “In the Air”

How is there no mention of the advent of the drum machine in this video?

Did You blank out Steve Hackett? 9:13

This video is a great example of how youtubers bury the lead. Well done.

Old dude here. I absolutely loved Phil's work for the first few albums. in the Air Tonight still reminds me of Miami Vice today. I remember being in college and driving to school. The DJ introduced In the Air Tonight and started playing it. Right before the drum fill, he paused the song, broke in, and said, "okay, everyone, get your air drums ready!"

Just saw the Foo Fighters and Pretenders in Seattle last weekend...and was blown away by how much Freese gets out of his wrist strokes. There was a drum break he played where I swear he threw in a little homage to Vinnie Colaiuta by dropping an eighth note, basically playing a kind of 7 against 4. Also seemed he was doing some nods to Neil Peart with some of his tom licks.

See Phil lately. Don't know if it was service at the Alamo or just old age, but the poor lad can barely walk, play or even get around.

So you are completely dismissing the possibility that Stu might have used sheer willpower to assume total molecular control of his anatomy in the studio and psyonically forced a third arm to grow under his right arm and then, after Nigel Gray yelled "cut", retracted that arm back into his body like one of Wolverines claws?!! You are prepared to just reject that possibility off the table?! How do you know for sure? Were you there in the studio in 1979 watching and documenting the entire process?

I think it's insane that right in the middle of a solo, he opts to just "slip something in" from NIN for Dave to notice. Total pro move. How drummers ever manage to hold the beat is beyond me.

thanks. Practised lesson for awhile. Played it with music.

Very cool. I also had the privilege of studying with Chester. Completely transformed my playing.

Following Phil Collins in the air tonight is a tough job but you managed a pretty good job of it I’d say.

now imagine what it sounds on CD

Lovely interpretation of "In the Air" and I need to check your stuff out. Also, the tracks you've used for backing on this film are amazing. Are they your own creations? Lastly, I just subbed.

I believe it was Peter Gabriel's track called "Intruder" that was being recorded when the accident happened. Peter deserves as much credit or more than Phil for developing and using it all over the melting face album that predated "In the Air Tonight" by a year.

All drummers make those mistakes, not only self-taught ones.

Anyone who is a fan of Genesis and Phil Collins should absolutely read Collins' memoir, "Not Dead Yet'. In fact, I would recommend you get the audiobook to hear it in Phil's own voice. As a life-long Genesis and Collins fan who thought he knew every there was to know about the band, I highly recommend it.

His drum part as the devil in tenacious d and the pick of destiny has to be my favorite from him

Dimitri, my congrats to you on making this video. Superbly documented, very well edited, truly good. A breeze to watch as it’s so interesting. As a true Phil Collins fan, a gem. Phil’s genius and artistry spans way beyond his drum talent. As a singer and multi instrumentalist as well. A big, big fan of his work from a young age and really grew on to appreciate him that much more as I’m a fellow musician myself. And congrats too on your project NoRadio. Cheers.

In the field of music there are the greats - Bach, Beethoven, Mozart… Phil Collins it says here… hmmm. Genius.

10:50: “because we still haven’t talked about”

Nice video. Buried the lead.

1:40 Holey crap Phil looks like Kurt Cobain!!

Fun video! Seeing it 9 months later. I really hope you all have been successful with it all. :)

@Dimitri Fantini - so was there a video you made or what we see above was made just for this clip? I happen to be Taiko fan adn always wondered how it would sound in this song!

Chester's thing. On Ruth!

All he needed to do was slam some kitchen cupboard doors😆

We get to learn about Phil Collin’s drumming and Cody Rhodes wasn’t allowed to enter the gates.

WOOW!

Bravo on the video, however I wish more people would acknowledge his drumming on his own albums (first three FF albums) more. Everyone always overlooks them for some reason and IMO that's where his best drumming is. QOTSA never did a thing for me other than his drumming. Not a Josh Homme fan. What about his drumming on Probot or the 1992 demo Late! Pocketwatch?

He's said on multiple occasions the opening for Song For the Dead was stolen from Bill Stevenson when Stevenson was in Black Flag... gimmie some more

EVEN my mailman? Mail carriers don't listen to the radio?

Great video! BIG Genesis fan….thanks! Now I’ll check you guys out!!

need 42 different drummers for each setup

I started my love affair with Genesis in 1970 with the release of Trespass, I was 10 years old, and went on a journey listening to Trespass. "Prog Rock" at it's best. I am 64 years old now, an ex-drummer and still escape to the world of Genesis. It has been the only constant in my otherwise life of constant changes. From 1969 - 1978 (And Then There Were Three) Were (For Me) the best years for Genesis, for the "Prog Rock" era. I did purchase "Duke" (1980) and "Abacab" (1981) though really good albums, for me, they didn't have the means to take you on a journey as the albums of old. For me, just my humble opinion, Phil is a world class Drummer, he's up there with the greats in my opinion. Their best album, for me, is and will ever remain "The Lamb Lies Down on Broardway" (1974) Just put your headphones on, turn the volume up and lose yourself in an emotional rollercoaster, in another world.

Brand X

Neil peart drum solo all the worlds a stage was the best one ever.

AKA the 6-stroke roll .... been using that for many years successfully....
