“Peter Gabriel said, as soon as he saw me sit down on a drum stool, he knew that I was the drummer”
New documentary Phil Collins: Drummer First is a fascinating and highly illuminating take on Collin’s life and career, put together with Nic Collins and released by Drumeo on their YouTube channel.
Collins Junior proves to be the perfect conduit for Collins senior’s story, being sufficiently trusted and familiar with his dad’s foibles to coax out all the details from a man who – frankly – as rock royalty and who has more than earned his accolades, could just say no.
Instead he – and countless musical contemporaries – tell a great story, packed with highlights and insight.
