Pop Talk with Drew Darkwell #2 – Phil Collins

You know, I feel bad for drummers. Every cliché’ music joke ever usually ends at the expense of the drummer. Poor guys. They have one of the most important jobs in the band but they can never seem to catch a break.

Guys like Ringo Starr and Lars Ulrich have been public targets for years. But hey, every now and then you see one of those stick swinging meat heads climb to the top. Dave Grohl is probably the best modern day example. But long before Dave there was the one and only – Phil Collins. Phil was the guy who showed us all that drummers could go on to outshine their band mates and do quite well for themselves.

The guy could sing, write, AND lay down a nasty bead behind the kit. He had it all. It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything from Mr. Collins, but it looks like he’s getting back in the game. Check out this episode of Pop Talk to see what he has planned.
