Drumming With Phil Collins & Genesis (w/ Nic Collins) | The Drum Department 🥁 (Ep.7)

[@benfrewin9926]

Honestly, Nic did the entire Genesis legacy and family proud. He really did.

[@StarlessBandNJ]

Nic did an outstanding job on the tour. I was totally blown away by him.

[@ciadella1971]

Nic seems like such a down to earth guy. And great player.

[@DocRock67]

He has that in common with his dad.

[@remander3873]

Saw them in Chicago. Amazing show. Nic absolutely nailed it. There were times when Phil was looking over at Nic, and you could feel the pride he has in his son. Really cool to watch.

[@PurpleRain500]

I was at those shows and have them on my page. It was so touching watching Phil air drum in real time to his son’s playing.

[@rogerdale5451]

I'm so glad that the Collins boys smoke on the drums like their dad. Genesis are the musicians that made the 70s. They define prog rock. Such fascinating, complex, beautiful, and powerful music. "I don't know you BUT I LOVE YOU!"

[@tesaliom]

Just saw this, I’m crying my heart out, Phil and Genesis are a totally important part of mi life in several stages, so guys at Drumeo, thanks for the video, it is awesome. Congratulations 😁😁🥁🥁

[@amour4all]

Wow! Fantastic interview! What a great young man! So kind, opended, generous and of course, hugely talented. Phil has a great son! Congratulations Nic!

[@raould2590]

What an amazing guy, given his heritage, such modesty and simplicity!

[@Meat_and_Potatoes]

I finally got got see Genesis on their recent and final tour in 2021. Nic Collins did an amazing job on the night, and I can’t wait to see what he does in the future. 🤘

[@klauth_Yksyn]

Great to see the Collins legacy live on 👍

[@brahmdempers1005]

Agreed!

[@BodaciousWench]

Eldest son Simon also plays drums.

[@cindipossidento5688]

BRAVO !!!! 😘

[@life5161]

Indeed

[@richboshart1201]

Long time Phil fan here. Now a short time Nic fan. Been aware of his drumming for a while though and the young man sure can play. The apple didn’t fall far from that tree.

[@stephenbrown310]

What a cool young man, Phil must be so proud of Nic.

[@therealeleusis]

Concert toms never got the love they deserve, I think they sound absolutely incredible, and to my ears they sound better than two headed toms any day of the week. They cut through a mix, they have more power, more defined tone. Concert toms and roto toms, single head toms just rule IMHO. Love the Thomas Lange rototom kit video, if anyone hasn't seen it it's incredible, they sound so damn good. Genesis, Van Halen, Vinny Appice in Dio etc, single head toms defined so many incredible albums. I'm excited to see they are making a comeback. Great video as always guys, Nic is an incredible drummer, thoroughly enjoyed it!! 🤘❤️🤘

[@mightyV444]

Also Carl Palmer played quite a cool concert tom kit with ASIA back in the day, a Premier with all metal shells. Inspired by the legendary titanium kit he'd once played with ELP, no doubt 🙂

[@darklordlc]

He did a phenomenal job. An incredibly talented drummer who had an incredibly large sticks to pick up. Cheers. Much respect.

[@BrunoCisi]

Such a great guy! I love Phil and Gneesis, so I really enjoy watching him grow as a drummer. Also I had the pleasure to be at the Phil Collins concert in Argentina with Nic on the drumms, amazing experience!

[@janicemackie611]

I’m a Genesis fan since 1974 when I saw them at a small venue of about 2,000 people at a university sports arena in Montreal, Canada. They were still relatively unknown…it was the Selling England by the Pound album…they blew my mind and they’ve been a part of my life every since…saw them total of 4 times! Nic is keeping the legacy of Phil alive…awesome!

[@patriciadenis8767]

I hope Phil is happy and his health is improving. I hope we will see Phil again soon. I miss Phil. J'espère que Phil est heureux et que sa santé s'améliore. J'espère que nous allons bientôt revoir Phil. Phil me manque. From Paris, Peace and Love.

[@bencarter6702]

Genesis fan of more than 30 years. Late in life once a month church drummer for the past 4 years. Thanks so much for this from the Drumeo guys and Nic! Congrats on getting the Mike+The Mechanics gig too! Duke is his fave album? Wow. Personally? Mine is Trick Of The Tail.

[@Sam-ss2lo]

I got an slingerling kit in 1972. it's exactly as you described it the speed King pedal the slingerland hi-hat and the small unsecured seat three-legged stool. it was pretty common then. proper posture and ergonomics was not a thing back then. I didn't buy another kit until 1996. we just played what we had and what we were used to.

[@prsdigiworx1559]

Brandon! great interview and insight. But you guys didnt cover one huge thing of Phil's. His sticks!! Why did he cut them down?, when did that start? What were the black rings at the end for? This had to effect his playing and attack i imagine? Speed? etc... Is there anyway to do a video on his sticks? What cracked me up is you all did this funny bit with those big pro marks yet did not talk about Phil's!! LOL.

[@dominotheory7331]

Thanks so much for this huge Phil and Genesis fan, Nic totally cool lad dad must be proud.

[@SaS-Music]

Love Phil and great to see Nic here. Dad must be so proud. Just need to mirror the video so he's playing lefty. Thanks, Drumeo

[@tonymilone5458]

I got to see the final tour in Boston and was totally blown away by how excellent Nic played the songs. I'm very much interested to see his future works. Thank you Drumeo and Nic for such an interesting in-depth interview. This is awesome!

[@mikeshaffer4912]

Nic Collins did a fantastic job drumming behind Genesis, from the videos I've been able to see. Hearing stories from his perspective and his own insights on drumming is really cool. Hearing and watching Phil Collins play when I was growing up was the reason I took drums and concert band when I was in school as a kid. Phil Collins and Genesis were the music of a lot of my formative years. Thank you for this interview.

[@Kiekhaefer6]

The bass drum beater Nic was talking about with the "leather" on one side and fluff on the other was made by Premier. I had one on my 1970 Premier 250 pedal when I had a kit of the same year. The "leather" was fake black leather.

[@morbidmanmusic]

very good show. Thanks to all. Thanks to Phil for SO SO SO much drumming inspiration.

[@carllouisyoung]

I would love to hear him play Back In N.Y.C. I recall an interview where his Dad mentioned that was a track he loved to play live when they toured the LLDOB album.

[@petermoran5541]

Where can I sign up to watch the interview with Phil Collins and Nick?

[@macmasks]

When they said,”can you just hit all the Tom’s?” I’m thinking, just play I Don’t Care Anymore.

[@JSebastien94]

Hello. Where are you with the Phil Collins Interview with Drumeo???

[@tim-kevinwahlert250]

I got to see him once on the "Still Not Dead Yet" tour and this year with Genesis and it's just unbelievable how absolutely incredible he pulled off these concerts! I was absolutely blown away!!!

[@80IESANDMORE]

Oooh, what a nice episode by drumeo arround Genesis and Nic Collins. ☺👍🥢🎶

[@Sch586]

I love Phil collins. He dominated the 80s he needs to be in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame as a solo artists.

[@cindipossidento5688]

He seems like a wonderful person !!!! Great drummer !!! OF COURSE-DUH ! Truly he is, he had a wonderful teacher ….. 😘kisses to Phil and Nic !!

[@Blackazza]

Come on Drumeo where is the Phil interview you teased everyone with?

[@Jamieleanne1985]

What a nice guy. And super talented in his own right .. although having Phil Collins as your dad/drum teacher ha, he was always destined to be brilliant at drumming. Great episode 👏

[@abundantYOUniverse]

This was really the greatest thing I have ever seen. I always wondered about Nick and how he got started etc. This was just fantastic thanks.

[@magister8084]

Thank you! Nic is super cool! Hardly wait for the chat with Phil!

[@flaviopitanga65]

Nic is a great drummer. Awesome

[@dale2540]

Really interesting and cool interview with Nic :) . Nice pictures and story. Super drummer and loved his tour with his dad back, 4 years ago

[@heylad]

Geez, those toms sound amazing!

[@robvriens8812]

This is one of the most awesome videos you guys did. It's soon be followed with the most awesome one with Phil Collins right? Phil is such great drummer and his his son Nic too.

[@davidtaylorbfd]

When is the interview with Phil coming out?.

[@bobcorrin4037]

Nic great stuff!! I have the same old Slingerland HI Hat stand. Your Dad is wright. It still does the job. Cheers (now if I could only find a Speed King)

[@Ryuko123]

Where’s this Switzerland interview?

[@Pettington]

Where is that other show they're talking about with both of them to be seen???

[@aboutthemetal8783]

I have always loved 22 inch bass drums , however when I heard how punchy a 20 / 18 inch sounded I was stunned , I actually ended up buying a new kit with a 20 / 18 bass drum and when I record heavy stuff ( thrash / death metal) I prefer the sound of the 20 especially in the studio , people think a 24 will sound bigger and louder than a 22 and a 20 , that's not the case , it's all in the tuning .22 inch for live 20 for the studio.

[@SuperQdaddy]

Nic is great..im kinda sorry I didn't go to final tour..but have great memories of 07 tour with Phil n chester ..the real deal * and legacy of Genesis..there's a modern drummer issue with phil and his setup..talks about Brand X !

[@ShakingTwoTrees2012]

I recall Phil saying that he dropped the 13" tom and that the largest rack tom was actually a 14" originally. He said that, because he wasn't playing the drums all night long, he decided to condense the kit somewhat. The concert toms provided a more cutting sound than Chester's double-headed kit and that he didn't have to worry about the engineer boosting him in the mix as the drums were so loud with the single heads.

[@TheDeescalator]

32:38 Wow! That sounded like his dad.

[@brahmdempers1005]

The legacy lives on!

[@AllenGarberGuitarFun]

Does anyone have a link to the thing in Switzerland where Nic is interviewing Phil?!

[@SpikeTSmith]

Enjoyed that very much. Look forward to seeing the next instalment when Nic is playing.

@Randy A great to hear

[@Canaldomauricionoriega]

What about the Phil Collins footage?

[@BazFairbrother]

I think it's safe to say that if Nick was going to be exposed to any drug taking, they would be for Arthritis or heart conditions😂 I got to see him with Genesis in Leeds in the UK and they were awesome. There will never be a band like them again😢

[@richmartin6200]

Wow...great job all around fellas...loving the Drum Department

[@thomasalderman2399]

His is a nice guy. For a young man he has his priorities in order. If your Father is Phil Collins? and you play drums? Lots of pressure. But he pulls it off nice.

[@BodaciousWench]

I was wondering if Phil’s setup is what caused his back problems and if he gave advice on how to prevent it for Nic.

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

It was his drumming posture that damaged his neck (cervical spine) and the surgery that was supposed to fix it went wrong and destroyed the rest of his spine.

[@stevempro331]

Where can I find the interview with Phil and Nic that they speak of in this video?

[@paulchoccyt1303]

They not gonna release it, it seems.

[@ianvjones]

Great stuff guys. Nic is great!

[@MWayne-zz1cr]

He's like a carbon copy of his legendary pop, the only thing missing is the British accent, and maybe he can dance.

[@markus8111]

When is the part about his dad coming out?

[@countrydj2]

Love the drum set. Wonder if Phil gave him lessons? How long has Nick been playing?

[@eckesdelicious]

Giggling like little boys in a candy shop. Love it!
