This is a very complicated and intense song with a difficult drum part and he nailed it. Not a moment of rest here. Those sticks are flying for the full 6 minutes. Hard on the body but he looks like he's up for the job. Solid body and I like how he sings along with the song while playing. Great to see. I can see why Phil is so proud of him. Best of luck, Nic.

Not taking away his performance here but this is a rather easy rhythm for an accomplished drummer. That said, he did a great job but I personally wouldn't compare him to Chester Thompson. That guy is a very versatile and talented musician. You need to watch a full concert to really appreciate how good he really is; his dynamics, feel, timing, and precision bring him into elite status.

I agree there is a jealousy factor as well which is a shame. Thanks Akira for being so positive, it's very much appreciated.

That's how hard this part is, and Nic nailed it.

The two Collins boys did an interview and it’s here on KZread somewhere, and it turns out that he likes two of his dad’s songs. Lol. I suspect playing on tour will change all that, and that he’ll love them all! :-) I can’t help but wonder if people got into the pop music business with the guidance of a parent or other mentor who loved them, perhaps it would be less destructive to the musicians personally in terms of lifestyle issues they develop overtime. I mean, how many concerts have you gone to when the musicians were so stoned they were barely under bodies? This guy is just about at that age where he’d be vulnerable to the big partying lifestyle that most young musicians go through in the situation of being away from home on tour, but look at him: he looks present, his mind is in the game, and he appears to be enjoying the gig. Whatever he chooses to do with the rest of his life, if he chooses to stay in the music business, he has a reasonably good chance of enjoying it for the entirety of his life, without having to worry about whether or not he can keep his mental health and relationships together.

This is a very complicated and intense song with a difficult drum part and he nailed it. Not a moment of rest here. Those sticks are flying for the full 6 minutes. Hard on the body but he looks like he's up for the job. Solid body and I like how he sings along with the song while playing. Great to see. I can see why Phil is so proud of him. Best of luck, Nic.

Not taking away his performance here but this is a rather easy rhythm for an accomplished drummer. That said, he did a great job but I personally wouldn't compare him to Chester Thompson. That guy is a very versatile and talented musician. You need to watch a full concert to really appreciate how good he really is; his dynamics, feel, timing, and precision bring him into elite status.

Nic played it perfectly as the version that has been played even by CHESTER since at least 2004.

Imagine spending 90% of your time on the toms like this - and having to get to those crashes right on time, every time - with the tom rhythms constantly shifting and becoming more complex - then in the second half of the song the cymbal crashes move 180% to be right IN THE MIDDLE of the tom patterns. That's how hard this part is, and Nic nailed it.

The two Collins boys did an interview and it’s here on KZread somewhere, and it turns out that he likes two of his dad’s songs. Lol. I suspect playing on tour will change all that, and that he’ll love them all! :-) I can’t help but wonder if people got into the pop music business with the guidance of a parent or other mentor who loved them, perhaps it would be less destructive to the musicians personally in terms of lifestyle issues they develop overtime. I mean, how many concerts have you gone to when the musicians were so stoned they were barely under bodies? This guy is just about at that age where he’d be vulnerable to the big partying lifestyle that most young musicians go through in the situation of being away from home on tour, but look at him: he looks present, his mind is in the game, and he appears to be enjoying the gig. Whatever he chooses to do with the rest of his life, if he chooses to stay in the music business, he has a reasonably good chance of enjoying it for the entirety of his life, without having to worry about whether or not he can keep his mental health and relationships together.
Like father like son, both are excellent with the drums
Father & son one soul one heart one drums; Godbless your family.
Wow, wow, wow, amazing, like father like son!!!!... so talented!!!
Nic...GREAT job on such a classic, wonderful song!!!!! Your dad and Chester have to be extremely proud of you given your excellent rendition of that song!!!!!!!!! On a personal note, I am so incredibly glad you have become the great drummer you are. "Every man wants his children to grow up better than he was..." You might keep that in mind as you grow older. It is simply the finest tribute one can give to their parents. God bless you, your dad, Chester and all the wonderful, talented members of the Phil Collins band.
Fantastic - you did your dad proud young man 👍
Just come back from the Last Domino concert in Liverpool. This lad was an absolute star and as good as his dad ever was. Amazing! I look forward to seeing him in concert again in the future as he carries the legacy forward.
Phil has got to be proud as his music and successful son plays and carries on Phils music. Keep it on guys.It makes me happy to see this.Love ya Phil.
