Nic Collins is the son of drumming superstar Phil Collins -- but Nic has earned his place playing drums with Genesis, Mike & The Mechanics, as well as his own project Better Strangers. He has quickly established himself on his own talent and gained praise from longtime Phil Collins band members for his maturity in his playing and work ethic.

In this free hour-long lesson, Nic breaks down some of Genesis’ coolest grooves, talks about Phil Collins’ influences (from Santana to Bonham), shares a Taylor Hawkins story, demos some classic Simmons SDSV pads, and yes – he shows you the fill. The one you’re probably waiting for.
