Phil Collins son Nic and Drumeo host Brandon Toews have put together Phil Collins old drum kit and Phil sat behind it for the first time in over a decade.
He also offered advice for new drummers. “You don’t play a song and try and put your chops in if its not helping the song. In the end that just clutters up the space. It is not what I would say appropriate”.
The Gretch kit was the one Phil used on the 1992 ‘We Can’t Dance’ tour with Genesis, as well as the 1994-1994 Both Sides of the World tour, the A Trip into the Light world tour of 1997 and The First Final Farewell Tour of 2004-2005.
