Phil Collins is known as a vocalist, drummer and one of the leaders of the band “Genesis”. The film highlights his unique style of playing drums. It also highlights the impact on world music and the struggle with the physical challenges that forced him to end his career.
If one day I wake up and can hold a pair of drumsticks in my hands, I'll try, – said the musician in the trailer.
Brandon Toose, director of content for the Drumeo platform, said that work on “Drummer First” lasted three years. The filming included new interviews with Phil Collins and his son Nick Collins. They took place in Switzerland shortly after the official end of the Genesis concert tour.
For me, as a Phil fan, it was an incredible opportunity to learn more about his legacy as one of the best drummers in the world, — said Toz.
For fans of the musician's work and all lovers of drum music, this documentary will be not only a source of inspiration, but also a deep dive into the life of an artist who changed the world stage.
