Phil Collins

[darmstadt]

Same here.

I never liked Genesis until Gabriel left & then I heard the Paperlate EP and my life was never the same again.

Though I rate Collins as a drummer, it's his vocal range that I admire; that combined with the arrangements on "Can't Hurry Love" puts Phil Spctor and The Supremes' version to shame IMO.

I'll have a pint of whatever you're taking

Excellent troll attempt but I'm onto you. No mate. A better rock drummer than Peart does not exist. Even the fact that you have asserted that means I have to power off this laptop now and chuck it on the compost heap. VDU also. Ah well it had a good run.

The system is going down for system halt NOW!

I got a formal training in pad when I was 10 with Pomeskis I wasn't allowed to get near a snare till I had mastered rudiments on a pad, then I got 2 years on a snare then I eventually got near a kit.. I was pretty exceptional at the kit.

I was tulip hot, I could rhythm out the most complicated beats, I would do stuff then try and add in more hits and more beats.

Then I heard Superstition and realised I had missed the point of the whole thing.

That is a long winded way to say Neil Peart lost it well before me.

Honestly most of this pretty standard stuff if you have a formal snare training...

Phill Collins.

Sadly that insufferable coont Sting always seems to get the best drummers...

Listen to the genius little splash cymbals on this one,,,

You know that's a puppet right?

Anyone who thinks Collins is mainstream should Listen to Mama.

That blood curdling scream he does half way through is right out of the left field. Pure Warhol.
