Drumeo is such a great channel, fair play to the work they do!

Agreed - I watch it more than guitar channels!

Strange that they don't include any archive footage of Phil playing. Copyright/financial issue or stylistic choice perhaps but it's a pity we don't get to see and hear him in his prime.

Nursery Cryme through 'til Selling England is his best (or perhaps that should be 'most enjoyable') for me. He had a very good on stage rapport with Gabriel, perhaps due to him doing the backing vocals.

When I lived in London in the 70s I used to go and see Brand X play, often at the Marquee. Collins was a fantastic drummer.

I love Phil Collins drumming, and I love Drumeo, but I tried to watch this a couple of nights ago and really didn't gel with it. Obviously a lot of work gone into it, but I'm afraid I just found it a bit dull.

You've probably already seen it Funk? but there's a fantastic interview with Mr. Thompson here-

I get so used to reading dull / puff pieces from famous musicians and then you read something like this and it's wow - he's not holding back (didn't gel with Jaco, Bee Gees incident, the falling out with Phil). Absolutely fascinating and the people he's played with is staggering.
