This is a very complicated and intense song with a difficult drum part and he nailed it. Not a moment of rest here. Those sticks are flying for the full 6 minutes. Hard on the body but he looks like he's up for the job. Solid body and I like how he sings along with the song while playing. Great to see. I can see why Phil is so proud of him. Best of luck, Nic.
Not taking away his performance here but this is a rather easy rhythm for an accomplished drummer. That said, he did a great job but I personally wouldn't compare him to Chester Thompson. That guy is a very versatile and talented musician. You need to watch a full concert to really appreciate how good he really is; his dynamics, feel, timing, and precision bring him into elite status.
@@jonn443 agreed, Chester is a different league to Nick......... but give it time. I hope I'm still alive in 20 years to see Nick doing everything his dad did. But I doubt I'll live that long. God bless Nick, go do it all and enjoy peace, love and bloody good music!!!
Nick isn't trying to come out of his father's shadows he's out there enjoying the sun. Phill must be immensely proud of what his son has become and accomplished at such a young age. Go Nick Go !!!!!!!
I wish all those would be experts would just stop passing their uncalled for negative opinions on a boy who’s just starting out in life. None of YOU have ever amounted to much yourselves.
People are always going to criticize someone like this. I’ve been playing drums for 30 years now. While I can see some flaws in his drumming, for the short time he has been playing he is very very good. And he will only get better. But I also never criticize anybody with talent.
Just come back from the Last Domino concert in Liverpool. This lad was an absolute star and as good as his dad ever was. Amazing! I look forward to seeing him in concert again in the future as he carries the legacy forward.
I hope he realizes just how blessed he is not only being Phil Collins son but also the drummer for his Dad. I dont know why people are so surprised by how good he can play!! When you're being taught by one of the worlds top drummers from the day you're born I'm gonna bet he's better than good!!
I saw an interview with Nick where he said that he hasn’t really gotten much instruction from his dad. Phil believes Nick should be his own drummer, which is pretty remarkable-
Nic...GREAT job on such a classic, wonderful song!!!!! Your dad and Chester have to be extremely proud of you given your excellent rendition of that song!!!!!!!!! On a personal note, I am so incredibly glad you have become the great drummer you are. "Every man wants his children to grow up better than he was..." You might keep that in mind as you grow older. It is simply the finest tribute one can give to their parents. God bless you, your dad, Chester and all the wonderful, talented members of the Phil Collins band.
I was at this concert and the moment Phil turned around to watch his son’s drum solo I cried. Phil passed on his amazing talent to this young man, and watching him watch his son was the most emotional moment I’ve ever had in my entire life. I could physically feel how proud he is of his son and the love he has for him. Phil will forever be my favorite artist, but his love for his son definitely passed to me that night, and I can’t think of a better way to carry on his legacy. Thank you both for all of your incredible talent. You are both in my heart. ❤️
You knew Nic was going to be amazing in this concert from the very beginning from Against All Odds when his silhouette lit up from the first hit of the drum.
Ive said for years if i had to pick 1 drummer it would be Phil Collins. Nic is here to carry on his legacy. Its in his blood. A fine drummer in his own right. God bless you all 🙏🙏🙏
He is good like his father. Phill Collins one the big singers. He still around and his voice always the same, like the wine, better time after time. God Bless Phill. Dont stop singing, keep singing. Awesome.
I just love coming here and putting it on loop play and just scrolling through the comments at all the love for this video, how amazing Nic is and the love so many still have for Phil.
Tony banks would never had this boy on tour with Genesis unless is excepcional, and he is. Prove of that is the incredible progress he has made in the last 3 years. Great and humble drummer
This is so good it makes a grown man cry. I grew up on Phil and Genesis and this talented young man will carry the torch for the next 50 years. Great playing Nick.
I'm a grown-ass woman and still my tears are dripping, much respect absolutely Beyond Talent. Kudos makes people's day a little bit brighter. Again not to be redundant simply Fabulous flawless
He was taught by one of the best. He appears to be very proud playing for his dad and I am sure Phil Collins is a very proud father. I can't wait to see what he does out on his own. Wishing Nicholas the best of success, we all know he is going to go far. 😃
He's the ever brilliant musician that his father is, Phil Collins and Genesis is the music I grew up with and still love today and he raised a son that will carry on that legacy someday, I'm thinking it must be hard to be a drummer and the singer but Phil has always done that exceptionally well The man is an icon. His type of music lasts over decades and you never grow old of it
I took this video because there didn't seem to be any others like it (at the time). I'm so glad I did because he surpassed my expectations of how good he really is. Glad you're enjoying it!
Why people gotta hate. This is an amazing video of some amazing drum playing by the son of an amazing drummer. Nic played it perfectly as the version that has been played even by CHESTER since at least 2004. Those who want to bitch about the video quality, lets see how well you do with a phone cam zoomed to max. Even your breathing will move the video. Quit hating so much, everything about this is awesome!
I agree, it was zoomed to the max which is why it's very shaky. I think you can probably even see my pulse there. I also think no matter what, some people won't like him because they think he's only there because he's Phil's son (& therefore not talented), or they have such a loyalty to Chester, no-one else would be good enough. I agree there is a jealousy factor as well which is a shame. Thanks Akira for being so positive, it's very much appreciated.
Wonderful sight, wonderful sound between father and son ! Nicholas is an awsome drummer ! Always fantastic this Song, Father and Son, two together talented ! Passion in the Voice and in the Drums, you're so beautiful to listen and see, Phil and Nicholas !
Got my first kit in 1973, been playing all my life. At one time I would count the beats per measure while playing. Somewhere along this path I started singing while I played live and I still use this method of keeping correct time, except when I am forced to play with a click track. It’s Nic’s method of knowing and being triggered to respond imo.
And I cried throughout in the air tonight when Nicolas played it. Because that was the official family's passing of the torch. 😢😢😢. Nicholas also has his own band started up now? It's called 5800. And there recording new music too? Lol
the man is a legend and still his voice can make me cry, what a great concert it was in Perth, Western Australia about 27 years ago - thanks for the 40 years of memories Phil and the band xox Take me home x
I listen to THIS so much that sometimes I'll just play it in the background while I do something else but as soon as he actually starts playing I can picture him going to town on that hi hat. And the fact that he's mouthing the words as he's playing is wonderful.
I think this is such a beautiful moment. Father and son playing together. Father bringing son into the fold. Son playing with his father to help father continue to share his gift with the world. They clearly share a talent. I hope Nick has a long and prosperous future in music.
How amazing it must be to be touring and playing with your dad who is such an amazing artist, and to see this boy , this young man singing his dad's songs while playing the drums for him si truly heart warming
I cannot stop watching this over and over again ❤ I grew up watching and listening to Phil Collins who was Always the best singer and drummer of all time. His son Nicholas is already on his way to becoming the best drummer ever just like his Dad. Absolutely a perfect job well done Nicholas ❤ Thank you for posting and sharing this beautiful precious Blessed video 🙏❤🙏
I love that whenever you watch him play he is singing along. It might just be how he keeps his place but, I like to think he truly loves Phil’s songs. He has very natural technique. He is relaxed and confident in his playing. At 18 and now 20 years old that shows how much talent he has. He’s on a stage in front of thousands playing songs the audience knows by heart in the shadow of the legend himself. Way to go Phil raising Nick and way to go Nick putting in the practice and dedication to do your father proud.
I do love that. Saw this concert twice and The Last Domino? and he's constantly doing it. Shows how much he really enjoys his dad's music. I mean you don't sing along to songs you don't like right?
Imagine spending 90% of your time on the toms like this - and having to get to those crashes right on time, every time - with the tom rhythms constantly shifting and becoming more complex - then in the second half of the song the cymbal crashes move 180% to be right IN THE MIDDLE of the tom patterns. That's how hard this part is, and Nic nailed it.
i cant even imagine what Nicholas is thinking while he plays his fathers songs... i am so proud of nicholas .. i love phil collins and to pass on that talent and gift is our blessing
The two Collins boys did an interview and it’s here on RUclips somewhere, and it turns out that he likes two of his dad’s songs. Lol. I suspect playing on tour will change all that, and that he’ll love them all! :-) I can’t help but wonder if people got into the pop music business with the guidance of a parent or other mentor who loved them, perhaps it would be less destructive to the musicians personally in terms of lifestyle issues they develop overtime. I mean, how many concerts have you gone to when the musicians were so stoned they were barely under bodies? This guy is just about at that age where he’d be vulnerable to the big partying lifestyle that most young musicians go through in the situation of being away from home on tour, but look at him: he looks present, his mind is in the game, and he appears to be enjoying the gig. Whatever he chooses to do with the rest of his life, if he chooses to stay in the music business, he has a reasonably good chance of enjoying it for the entirety of his life, without having to worry about whether or not he can keep his mental health and relationships together.
Props to you Nickolas collins keep your dads song playing many many decades from now cause I was born in the 80s and I remember listening to this song all the time
Nicolas I am so glad that your following your Dads footsteps I love you both Nicolas you play the drums just like him and wow you voice is awesome love your music as well I know your Dad is so proud that your doing this tour with him we love you both
I am tearing up.. this is so beautiful.. Look at you Mr. Nick - The drumming lives on!! You are Faster Phils Son, Your Faster Nick!! What an honor to see you both perform, I pray you continue.. Listen to your Dad, he is the best!! God bless you both.
Phil Collins... You brought me so much joy listening to your music both as a single artist and with Genesis. Keep fighting and stay strong my prayers are with you.!
This kid is flippin amazing. This is the first close up I’ve seen of him and he’s just killin it! That’s a huge job for a kid his age. PC has to be sooo proud! I’M proud of him and he isn’t even my kid!
Erik de Leest You haven’t seen many young people have you. Little Kids way younger than this do even more amazing thing musically. And he’s not that young. Taking nothing away from him, of course. I’m just saying that is lots of talented and hard working people out there in the world. He’s one of them.
@@JK-vc7ie I've seen a lot but under the pressure of being the sun of PC himself, he's doing way more than you'd expect. Dealing with this kind of pressure isn't easy!
He is just as good as his father was! It's very cool to watch him. I don't recall how old Phil was when he joined Genesis, but Nic is likely close to the same age, going out on tour with his Dad! This is a lot of fun to watch, and Nic has no signs of projecting arrogance or privilege just because of who he is. Outstanding!
Like father, like son! I’ve seen close to 100 concerts in my life so far, and I have to say Phil Collins is in my top 20. May even be in my top 10. Saw him twice and once with Genesis. I am so fortunate to have seen that amazing man live!
Nic certainly is a stick off Phil’s kit! Nicholas has so much of his Dad’s natural musical ability and he obviously worked hard to get to be as accomplished as he is at 15-17 years old being able to be the drummer for his Dad the legendary Phil Collins! I appreciate you sharing this fantastic view of this kid who we hopefully will see much of in the future! Nice to see a Collins man hitting something! This is the best view of Nicholas playing I’ve seen. Congrats and thanks for sharing with us! Thanks again for sharing this gem! God Bless you.
He is truly remarkable! I'm so glad you enjoyed watching it, I was overjoyed that I got to take it! I really hope he goes far & when he does I'll be cheering all the way. Thank you and you're very welcome :) God bless you too!
For father and son....student and teacher....the impact on this kids life after Phil is gone will literally be with him forever....this is truly awesome!! Respect! Legend!!
Watching and listening do Nicholas pouring all of his heart and soul beating away at the drums at the conclusion of "Take me Home" brought tears to my eyes. I don't ever recall having goosebumps as I did tonight watching Nicholas Collins.
How the fuck is this possible? Putting fathers groove to new level. I thought there will be never again someone like Jeff Porcaro and Phill Collins, drummers with heaven gift to play with heart and soul, groove masters. But this kid !
This is a very complicated and intense song with a difficult drum part and he nailed it. Not a moment of rest here. Those sticks are flying for the full 6 minutes. Hard on the body but he looks like he's up for the job. Solid body and I like how he sings along with the song while playing. Great to see. I can see why Phil is so proud of him. Best of luck, Nic.

Nope. non non. It is not.
Chester comes from jazz...Nic comes from Rock
I don’t care how many times I watch this, it just makes me happy 😃 😘
Nick isn't trying to come out of his father's shadows he's out there enjoying the sun. Phill must be immensely proud of what his son has become and accomplished at such a young age. Go Nick Go !!!!!!!
To see Phil's son behind the drum kit playing along to his father singing...makes my eyes misty.......awesome job kiddo.....oh and you too Phil !!!!
buickmonte is this kid can sing he’s gonna be deadly!
This is very touching son and father performing together.
This young man is going to go far. Phil must be so proud.
I wish all those would be experts would just stop passing their uncalled for negative opinions on a boy who’s just starting out in life. None of YOU have ever amounted to much yourselves.
I think Phil's son is amazing! I could watch him play those drums all day.
Exactly!!
Everyone is a pro until they have to prove it. I’d say he’s done an excellent job, in my non-professional opinion. Rock on Nick.
Totally agree with you.
People are always going to criticize someone like this. I’ve been playing drums for 30 years now. While I can see some flaws in his drumming, for the short time he has been playing he is very very good. And he will only get better. But I also never criticize anybody with talent.
He’s doing great and has a great teacher , looks like a natural! Keep up the good work Nick!
Like father like son for sure. Awesome!!! Phil Collins fan for life.
Seu pai muito top uns dos melhores se chegar perto vamos ter um baita músico

Saw Nicholas live tonight in Philly with Genesis. All I can say….❤️. Nick, you have big shoes to fill…and it looks like you got it covered!!! XO
Phil has got to be proud as his music and successful son plays and carries on Phils music.
Keep it on guys.It makes me happy to see this.Love ya Phil.
I hope he realizes just how blessed he is not only being Phil Collins son but also the drummer for his Dad. I dont know why people are so surprised by how good he can play!! When you're being taught by one of the worlds top drummers from the day you're born I'm gonna bet he's better than good!!

A big thanks to the person who took this beautiful video he/she helped us to see this precious gift that Nick have.👌 👏 😍
You're welcome & I agree, he definitely does have a precious gift!
Phil Collins and Genesis are musical geniuses and it’s totally awesome how Phil’s son is following in his dad’s footsteps.

What a promising young kid! I hope he has the success in life with his music he wishes for.
A master following in a legends shoes. Well done Nic, you sir are an absolute inspiration!!!!!! keep doing what you're doing
Merci pour la vidéo super Nicolas et Phil avec une voix intacte
Nic, u.r fantastic.Sorry your dad is not well.Now that he's done performing..take good care of him..enjoy your time together.U R a great musician 😀💞🎼
This is so good it makes a grown man cry. I grew up on Phil and Genesis and this talented young man will carry the torch for the next 50 years. Great playing Nick.

This is a natural born drummer. Incedible feel for the song and a great thunderous sound. Played fluently and with great passion. Well done!
Love Phil collins to have his son play with his dad is just precious. He has talent just like his dad. Hope they play together for a long time.

Jealousy perhaps?

@@meljamie I'm not going to deny I severely miss Chester. There was a magical connection with him and Phil that just can't be there anymore.
Wonderful sight, wonderful sound between father and son !
Nicholas is an awsome drummer !
Always fantastic this Song, Father and Son, two together talented !
Passion in the Voice and in the Drums, you're so beautiful to listen and see, Phil and Nicholas !
Fantastic Father and Son ! What a sound, super rythm !
Absolutely amazing! Phill must be so proud of you. Fantastic. ❤
What I love most about this is that he's singing his dad's song through the whole thing. Who does that?
I love it too & I've got footage of him doing it on other songs as well and who can blame him? Phil's music is awesome
Only legends do that😎
Musicians, tbh. He probably doesn't even know he's doing it....
Got my first kit in 1973, been playing all my life. At one time I would count the beats per measure while playing. Somewhere along this path I started singing while I played live and I still use this method of keeping correct time, except when I am forced to play with a click track. It’s Nic’s method of knowing and being triggered to respond imo.
And I cried throughout in the air tonight when Nicolas played it. Because that was the official family's passing of the torch. 😢😢😢. Nicholas also has his own band started up now? It's called 5800. And there recording new music too? Lol
I love you Nic . I remember your dad at his prime and you have surpassed that! Happy belated birthday. Love from me and my cats 🐱 xxx
I just love him never seen anyone playing an instrument with so much love ❤️
the man is a legend and still his voice can make me cry, what a great concert it was in Perth, Western Australia about 27 years ago - thanks for the 40 years of memories Phil and the band xox Take me home x
Just great to see the collins history carry on into another generation . Super drummer

Some people will never die ,Phil collins is one of them , what a career a musician and compositor.
Absolutely awesome drumming from nic well done ,definitely so much like his dad a credit to Phil 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌
I think this is such a beautiful moment. Father and son playing together. Father bringing son into the fold. Son playing with his father to help father continue to share his gift with the world. They clearly share a talent. I hope Nick has a long and prosperous future in music.
Like father like son, both are excellent with the drums
Wow, wow, wow, amazing, like father like son!!!!... so talented!!!
How amazing it must be to be touring and playing with your dad who is such an amazing artist, and to see this boy , this young man singing his dad's songs while playing the drums for him si truly heart warming
The legacy is carrying on through Nic Collins. He looks just like his dad at this age, but without the facial hair. It's stunning how magical DNA is.
He does love k somewhat like his dad at a younger age..his mum is asian, and that part really shows as well..Great Looking Kid..
I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve watched this and still gives me goosebumps. Love ❤️ Nic ! 😘
Right? When I come across it I always put it on loop so I'll listen to it 5-10 times every time I watch it.
I cannot stop watching this over and over again ❤ I grew up watching and listening to Phil Collins who was Always the best singer and drummer of all time. His son Nicholas is already on his way to becoming the best drummer ever just like his Dad. Absolutely a perfect job well done Nicholas ❤ Thank you for posting and sharing this beautiful precious Blessed video 🙏❤🙏
You're very welcome, Margie. I agree, Nicholas does an amazing job!
Bloody hell his timing is impeccable!!!
I love that whenever you watch him play he is singing along. It might just be how he keeps his place but, I like to think he truly loves Phil’s songs. He has very natural technique. He is relaxed and confident in his playing. At 18 and now 20 years old that shows how much talent he has. He’s on a stage in front of thousands playing songs the audience knows by heart in the shadow of the legend himself. Way to go Phil raising Nick and way to go Nick putting in the practice and dedication to do your father proud.
I just saw him again at the Genesis concert too. He was singing along ever time they zoomed in on him. It was really a pleasure to watch. :D
I do love that. Saw this concert twice and The Last Domino? and he's constantly doing it. Shows how much he really enjoys his dad's music. I mean you don't sing along to songs you don't like right?
Quand je vois Nicholas jouer , je vois son père, deux grands prodiges .
Quand je vois jouer Nicolas, je vois Phil , deux grands prodiges .
So young and already such a great drummer. Amazing to see the passion and enthusiasm in his face.
Imagine spending 90% of your time on the toms like this - and having to get to those crashes right on time, every time - with the tom rhythms constantly shifting and becoming more complex - then in the second half of the song the cymbal crashes move 180% to be right IN THE MIDDLE of the tom patterns. That's how hard this part is, and Nic nailed it.
i cant even imagine what Nicholas is thinking while he plays his fathers songs... i am so proud of nicholas .. i love phil collins and to pass on that talent and gift is our blessing
A 22 year old son Appreciative of his father and someone who gets as much applause from me as I gave to his Dad over the years. Thanks to you both.
Love that he loves his Dad's music this much ❤
The two Collins boys did an interview and it’s here on RUclips somewhere, and it turns out that he likes two of his dad’s songs. Lol. I suspect playing on tour will change all that, and that he’ll love them all! :-)
I can’t help but wonder if people got into the pop music business with the guidance of a parent or other mentor who loved them, perhaps it would be less destructive to the musicians personally in terms of lifestyle issues they develop overtime. I mean, how many concerts have you gone to when the musicians were so stoned they were barely under bodies? This guy is just about at that age where he’d be vulnerable to the big partying lifestyle that most young musicians go through in the situation of being away from home on tour, but look at him: he looks present, his mind is in the game, and he appears to be enjoying the gig.
Whatever he chooses to do with the rest of his life, if he chooses to stay in the music business, he has a reasonably good chance of enjoying it for the entirety of his life, without having to worry about whether or not he can keep his mental health and relationships together.
Props to you Nickolas collins keep your dads song playing many many decades from now cause I was born in the 80s and I remember listening to this song all the time
The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!!! Awesome job kiddo! Bright future ahead of you!!!!
Phil with his son together on the stage .... Madness ..... for Phil something very special .... cool .... goose bumps .......

How on earth can anybody this young play these songs... Blown away! Respect.

You haven’t seen many young people have you. Little Kids way younger than this do even more amazing thing musically. And he’s not that young. Taking nothing away from him, of course. I’m just saying that is lots of talented and hard working people out there in the world. He’s one of them.
@@JK-vc7ie I've seen a lot but under the pressure of being the sun of PC himself, he's doing way more than you'd expect. Dealing with this kind of pressure isn't easy!
He is just as good as his father was! It's very cool to watch him. I don't recall how old Phil was when he joined Genesis, but Nic is likely close to the same age, going out on tour with his Dad! This is a lot of fun to watch, and Nic has no signs of projecting arrogance or privilege just because of who he is. Outstanding!
Like father, like son! I’ve seen close to 100 concerts in my life so far, and I have to say Phil Collins is in my top 20. May even be in my top 10. Saw him twice and once with Genesis. I am so fortunate to have seen that amazing man live!
It's like watching a young Phil, incredible!
Happy birthday Nick! It’s awesome to see a younger generation have this gift!!!! He will always have these special moments forever!!!🥰❤️
Just as good as Phil. I love it when musician's kids follow in the family business.
he learned from the best! happy belated B-day Nick, God Bless!
Why does this make me smile 😊? ❤️xx
Great concert. Had front row center seats and caught Nic's drumstick.
Nic certainly is a stick off Phil’s kit! Nicholas has so much of his Dad’s natural musical ability and he obviously worked hard to get to be as accomplished as he is at 15-17 years old being able to be the drummer for his Dad the legendary Phil Collins!
I appreciate you sharing this fantastic view of this kid who we hopefully will see much of in the future! Nice to see a Collins man hitting something!
This is the best view of Nicholas playing I’ve seen. Congrats and thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks again for sharing this gem!
God Bless you.
He is truly remarkable! I'm so glad you enjoyed watching it, I was overjoyed that I got to take it! I really hope he goes far & when he does I'll be cheering all the way. Thank you and you're very welcome :) God bless you too!
My word...looking at Nicholas I see young Phil Collins!
That's the same thing I think every time I watch him play.
Me too.
You go boy! Fantastic job!
Nick your awesome! You've made your dad's life. Carry on.
For father and son....student and teacher....the impact on this kids life after Phil is gone will literally be with him forever....this is truly awesome!! Respect! Legend!!
Phil must be extremely proud of his son. It is wonderful that at Phil’s age, he sings just as he did back in the 80’s, etc.
It sounds like nick has been playing for years, good stage presence great sound on the drums...u rock dude
recon he had a good teacher mate lol
@@Timbertouchbespoke , yea he had a great teacher lol
he has been playing since he can rember he said in a intervew
It warms my heart to see him so engrossed in his dad’s music. There’s so much appreciation for his dad’s talent and art in him.
Wow just WOW!! This young man has the best possible DNA to fill his father's footsteps!!
Watching and listening do Nicholas pouring all of his heart and soul beating away at the drums at the conclusion of "Take me Home" brought tears to my eyes. I don't ever recall having goosebumps as I did tonight watching Nicholas Collins.
Just watched him perform with Phil tonight in Charlotte . . . I'm still in awe. Such a great show!
Did you see him fall ?
@@cg28277 Briefly, but he rebounded with help
How the fuck is this possible? Putting fathers groove to new level. I thought there will be never again someone like Jeff Porcaro and Phill Collins, drummers with heaven gift to play with heart and soul, groove masters. But this kid !
Love hearing this kid play! So muck like his Dad! I know Phil is proud! Rock on Nic!
Bravo Nic!! Phil, you raised a good young man! 🔥🥁
The DNA is strong in Nicholas !!!!!!!i Love that he’s singing his dads song . Phil you must be so proud :)
