Nice topic lamour..I recognize him like a musician first, drummer second. I put ears in his playing in B_X Livestock....and Abacab not in Gen. classic albums.
I think we re agree he s not a reference point for drummers, not great chops and phenomenal ideas and techniques but he works his sound, he has some tiny figures or patterns giving interesting collaboration to the compositions, I mean he s commitment with music that he / they play...I dont hear him behind, ...His playing is enough for what they doing..no need a great drumm solo,,,,boring to me is a drummer just playing time, plain,,..Collins is beyond that..and maybe less than a great drummer.
