Re: Phil Collins

Lamour, I agree with Marq in that you should listen to some of Seconds Out, specifically the instrumental sections of Cinema Show and Firth of Fifth. I know that it is a blend of him with either Bruford (Cinema Show) or Thompson (FoF), but it really captures his style. I also think the Dukes Travels and Dukes End off the Genesis Duke CD are great choices.

PC is not a flashy player like a Palmer, Pert or Portnoy, but he is extremely tasteful. Like Bruford, sometimes it's not what he plays, but what he doesn't play that makes his style stand out. He doesn't "overplay". If you are looking for a spot light grabbing master technician, then look elsewhere, but if you want a drummer that creates the perfect part for the music, I think Phil is one of the best.
