Phil Collins Drumeo Documentary

[Bullitt68]

Hello to the Jukebox crew. I don't post in here much, but when I do it's pretty much all Phil Collins or Genesis related stuff. On that subject, I figured I'd create a thread to let you guys know that Drumeo has produced a Phil Collins doc that covers his whole 50+ year career. Cool seeing Phil shooting the shit, cracking jokes, and going back through his career, and also fun hearing from other musicians talking about Phil's skill and his influence. Check it out if you haven't already

I watched a few minutes the other day then realized it was 2 hours and I have to sleep. I knew Phil wasn't in the best of health but he looks older than I expected due to his health issues.

Haha, yeah, this isn't a quickie 20-minute HL vid. This is a full-on career retrospective. A bit too much Nic Collins in a Phil Collins doc, but that's what fast-forward is for.

Oh, yeah, he got real old real fast. His body is in rough shape and he even talks much slower and weakly. But his mind's still there and he's still got his sense of humor. And of course it was cool seeing him sitting at the drums and hitting them a bit.

Great drummomentary indeed ..........Collins is among my top fav rock drummers after Bonzo and Ginger Baker of course . I'm so sorry to hear that Phil's health is still not good.....I hope he gets better ....

For me, it's Phil and Keith Moon at the top of the list, power and energy (respectively) yet at the same time intricate and technically impressive. The doc was good about emphasizing just how impressive Phil's drumming was, beyond it being "cool" and "iconic" it's so fucking good.

That's all.

Of course, Moon is in my top 10 best drummers list and I'd dare to include Ben E. Carlos of Cheap Trick , a very overlooked skin-beater

My wife is a huge phil Collins fan so we watched it.

It was interesting to see the evolution of his drumming career. A lot of people who didn't follow Genesis probably didn't consider how good he actually was on the drums.

We saw him back in 2018 and his son was great on the drums.
