One of my favourite drummers. His work with Brand X is hugely impressive as well.

As opposed to Phil Collins the dental hygienist?
![]() Phil is up there with the great drummers and is one of my top three alongside Peart and Bruford. Even with his pop stuff, when Phil kicks it with the drums, it's great. One of the bad things about some of his solo and Genesis pop stuff was that he relied too heavily on the drum machine. That would be like a Rush album with a drum machine. Some drum machine stuff was ok, like the intro to Duchess and some of the stuff on Face Value, but there he didn't rely too heavily on it, just used it as an additional instrument.
His stuff with old Genesis is superb and produced some of the great drum moments in rock. Not to mention the work he did with Brand X. Edited by The Doctor - April 28 2009 at 14:29 |

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Yeah, I feel he's a great drummer, more, perhaps, because of his ear for doing interesting things with the drums and his solid sound than because he's a technique-monster. He is one of the few drummers who can really make a song like Fly On A Windshield or The Knife (just listen to the Genesis live take). And personally, I think pop Genesis isn't too bad. |

i have recantly bought both Selling England anf Foxtrot and i have allways heard that hi is a good drummer. but when i first heard the drumwork on Foxtrot was, i couldent belive my ears it was so good.
i allways feel the bad repotation i have on Progarchives that he turn Genesis soft and to a Hit-machine, overshadows his drum preformances, ( i actuley was into the pop Genesis before i discoverd the tresser that was progrock that ledd me to buy SEBP and Foxtrot so im not that hatefull) but i will probably rank his drumming skills with the other grates, Michael Giles, Bill Bruford, Carl Palmer and Phil Ehart and he got the abilaty (in my ears) to play technical but stil play tastefull. and he can also play difficult songs and sing at the same time (se the Video of the hated song Abacab) he have also playd for Buddy Rich Bigband and that i think aqiere more then just being a good drummer, you need to be qiet amazing. and his drum solo with Chester Thompson and other works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=manxPVTLth8 |
