Drumming News
Drumeo, the leading platform for drumming education, is set to premiere an exciting new documentary on December 18, centered on the legendary Phil Collins. The film offers an intimate look into Collins’ life and career, with the artist telling his story in his own words. Featured alongside him are some of the biggest names in drumming, including Nic Collins (Phil’s son), Chad Smith, Mike Portnoy, Billy Cobham, Matt Cameron, Simon Phillips, and more. These drummers offer insights into Collins’ lasting influence on the world of music.
Phil Collins is a multi-talented British musician, songwriter, and actor best known as the drummer and later lead singer of the progressive rock band Genesis. His solo career, which took off in the 1980s, brought him global fame with hits like “In the Air Tonight,” “Against All Odds,” and “Another Day in Paradise.” Collins’ distinctive drumming style, particularly his use of “gated reverb,” became a defining feature of his sound. Over the course of his career, he has sold over 150 million records worldwide and won numerous awards, including eight Grammys, two Golden Globes, and an Academy Award for his song “You’ll Be in My Heart” from Disney’s Tarzan (1999).
Known for his versatility, Collins also enjoyed a successful acting career, starring in films like Buster and making appearances on TV shows such as Miami Vice. His influence extends beyond his own work, having contributed to a generation of musicians and drummers who cite him as a key inspiration.
The Drumeo documentary offers fans an exclusive look into Collins’ remarkable journey, from his early days with Genesis to his solo triumphs and beyond. With contributions from fellow drummers and collaborators, the film sheds light on his profound impact on both the music industry and drumming community.
