That's absolutely correct , but , try getting a six year old to count off in sixteenths with every third note a bass drum .

It verges on metric modulation of 3/16 in 4/4 time.

(I'm sure some body will tell me if that's not right !! )

Thanks for watching and a valid comment .

Cheers

That sucked!

That was the worst attempt I have ever seen.

The snare was never in it it sounds completely out of place and WRONG

So to anyone who reads this comment please try a different video

Don't waste your time as I just did.

@Obopolis

Ahhhh I forgot!

Pleeeassee don't tell people what to do .

It takes me a good few hours to record and edit videos and I think most people are intelligent enough to work out for themselves if they like it or not .

At this time , this vid has had almost 11,000 views and mostly positive comments .

I'm happy !

@chadlovesdrums

Ok.

I haven't read the sheet music , I rely on my eyes and ears with this one.

The reason that I put the snare on the end is that most people, mainly kids out there , haven't got the amount of kit that Phil Collins has .I feel there has to be some sort of solid end to the fill , so I teach people to use the snare to denote the end of the fill . People have to have some licence with which drums to use especially if most people , and I know from teaching , only have smaller kit

[markopuljiz123]

I think this was spot on, regardless to the other comments. I also noticed that Phil himself tends to improvise a bit... but this is the actual studio version.

@MIKEHODDINOTT i know why do people be so nasty its your passion and u like it so don't take the piss i just started learning drums and i tell u what if u have the guts to record yourself don't even bother trying to ruin other peoples career

[semajttam]

I would just like to point out to @obopolis that your comments to this gentleman, who has kindly demonstrated this drum fill to others who may not be aware of PHil Collins' contribution to drumming, were unnecessary. (Mike, there is an extra bass drum in between the two final flams though but spot on) If you have nothing nice to say then say nothing.

[MrCandyman5000]

thnx dis is the first thing i learned on the drums and i always play it cuz as u said its simple but affective

[xoKnightRiderox]

Whenever someone asks me to play something on the drums its more or less always this cause ii can proudly say 'Yurrrp, ii can drum like a gorilla ;)' haha cheers!
