As a drummer, this has the entire range of emotion, from a dad being proud of his son, to wishing he could get behind the kit one last time.

He didn’t teach him. Nic is a more technical drummer so in time I imagine he will be better than his dad 👍

[@ecclestonsangel]

@@TheCowgirlNiamh oh, that's neat! I always thought of little Nic behind the drums, with Phil coaching him. It's hard to imagine the son surpassing the father, although I think Jason Bonham is even better than Bonzo, if that's possible. We are getting a new generation of incredible drummers!

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

@@ecclestonsangel I suppose it worked in Phil’s advantage because his fills are incredible! His posture while playing was terrible though which probably caused a lot of his spinal damage over the years. He’s earned his retirement although he probably misses playing ☹️

[@ecclestonsangel]

@@TheCowgirlNiamh He always had to keep his head in the air to reach the Mike. The, when he wasn't singing, he kinda slumped down. They eventually solved the microphone issue by giving Phil a headset, but even then, because it had become so basic to his nature, he continued to tip his head up. Phil is one of the greatest drummers in the world. He always will be. I'm sure he wishes he could still play. I think it's a comfort to him that his son is such a great drummer.

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

[@kurtpatterson1296]

Now you guys know the beauty of being an older working drummer. E.G.,Charlie Watts,lived a long full life and basically died with his boots on.The generations that make drumming an extreme athletic event most likely will not have that pleasure and experience. Phil Collins was somewhere in between,and I don't believe his health issues just came from drumming.

@@WeTubule Upset? How did you extrapolate that from my comment? It was just a simple statement of fact. And Phil John's statement that there is NO correct side when it comes to playing the drum-set is also just a plain and, easy to understand, fact. What's actually funny (in a pathetic way) is that there are too many so-called music experts out here making silly comments (funny or not) about what the correct way of playing is. And these comments are based on nothing but personal feelings and misconstrued information about the art form.

Apples and oranges. Two different styles of music. Many technically proficient drummers cannot play latin based rock, and Latin based drummers cannot do everything. As a fan of progressive rock since I was old enough to understand it, and being a drummer myself for over 3 decades, the kids doing better than alright. Remember, he's also laying down earlier, more complex genesis tunes and nails those as well. He's not even 22 yrs of age yet, and while that's still no excuse, he's well on his way to being a superb drummer. Trust me, he'll be surrounded by the best of the best along the way, and will most definitely improve.

[@troybonner91]

Great, you judged a man's entire career based on one song. What have you done?? You going to judge George Harrison's entire career and abilities because of 'Gone Troppo' or something else that's not his best? Phil Collins was the lead singer and drummer for Genesis for 8 albums (most of which were still prog rock albums), and drummer and backup singer for 4 Genesis prog albums before that - most of which was before his solo career. He, Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson are the only 3 people to have gone platinum in a band, and then platinum solo. He has an iconic voice, and is widely regarded as one of the best drummers in rock music. He also invented the gated reverb drum sound that is now synonymous with the 80's. A lot of people give Phil grief for embracing pop in his later career, but Peter Gabriel did the same thing in his career, yet people just ignore that fact and just blame Phil for "selling out". But the same imbeciles will scream like little fan girls over Beatles pop and not see the hypocrisy.
