A new documentary about Phil Collins is set to debut on the online platform Drumeo, and now fans are getting their first look at it.
A trailer for Phil Collins: Drummer First has just been released and features clips of Collins being interviewed by his son Nic Collins.
“I’m not a singer who plays the drums,” the Genesis frontman says in the clip. “I’m more of a drummer who sings a bit.”
There are also testimonials about Collins’ drumming talent from such famous drummers as Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ Chad Smith, who says, “Phil Collins, his drumming has such a unique sound and style that you know immediately when you hear it, that’s that guy.”
The trailer also includes a clip of Collins behind a drum kit for the first time in years, although he’s not seen playing.
“If I wake up one day and I can hold a pair of drumsticks then I will have a crack at it,” he says. “I just feel like I’ve used up my air miles.”
Collins revealed in 2021 that due to health problems, he could “barely hold a stick.” During Genesis’ The Last Domino tour, Collins’ son Nic played drums for the band.
Phil Collins: Drummer First debuts Dec. 18 on Drumeo.
