Oct 18, 2010 - @thomasash What do you think I don't take showers like you? I have heard Phil Collins ever since I was child and thought that he was a piece of shit then as a drummer. I saw Chester in a drum clinic back in '88 and he was fire way better than Phil Collins . Dude I'm sorry I hurt your feelings , and that you are so sensitive BROA !!!

Nov 4, 2010 - Great drummer. I still listen to '3 Sides Live' pretty regularly, and I like the stuff he did with Zappa. I never can figure how he can play the drums sitting so high like that though. I'd mess my back up. :)

Dec 2, 2010 - @iFoRgOtMyPsSwRd I have felt that Phil's 80s drumming was generally not as creative and vibrant as his 70's drumming (with Genesis AND with the jazz fusion band, Brand X)...but I can try to respect your feelings about his drumming skills...as for Chester, I am mostly familiar with his work on the (Genesis) "Seconds Out" live album - and I felt he had a nice flow ...

Dec 2, 2010 - @sgtpepper1138 I'm thinking that Ringo's drumset was arranged at a lower height back then (making it seem that he was sitting higher) - but I may need to watch "A Hard Day's Night" and "Help" again (maybe I'm the one who is wrong)...

iFoRgOtMyPsSwRd Says:
Dec 6, 2010 - @davss5 I must agree with you on the 70s to 80s. but dats Phil within Phils degeneration on drumming at still such a young age within himself . much no arguing his great success but his drumming to me is somewhat boring
davss5 Says:
Dec 6, 2010 - @iFoRgOtMyPsSwRd Thanks for your response...so (for clarification), are you saying that Phil's drumming particularly since the 80s has been boring?...if so, then I might not use the word "boring" but "more simplified" (compared to his 70s drumming)...I could agree that Phil's solo career has been successful - although I only prefer hardly a handful of his songs (e.g., "Take Me Home", "Against All Odds", "You'll Be in My Heart")...for whatever reasons, Phil decided on the "simpler" approach...

Dude your comment DISAPPEARED from the minute you wrote it. Get a fuckin life and stop hatin on real legends. Its easy to say for me too that Freddie Mercury couldn't sing for shit. Isn't it?

Oct 7, 2011 - he is not Bruford.
frazerpmobrien Says:
Jan 3, 2012 - @drumrnva he plays with really low wrists relative to his hands, which means he doesn't have to bend his back, its a real relaxed way of playing but if you like your snare flat then you get sooooo many rimshots and that breaks your sticks after a while. its real good if you like just grooving on hihat and snare cos its gives your left hand a lot of room and puts it at perfect angle for drags :)
