Nic has been a gifted musician since he was a little kid. I loved playing with him on Phil Collins Not Dead Yet Tour. He nailed it every night and just kept getting better and better as the tour went on. I am so proud of him. Plus he is a GREART GUY!

WtG Nick your making your Dad so Proud! Many prayers for him always here!

This young man learned from a true legend. I am so proud of him! Like father like son.

[frogdogink]

Phil's spirit will be forever safe with this young man. God love you both. ❤

Remember, it's not just "passed on" without effort. Even talent that comes natural takes discipline and commitment. He's done a great job sticking with drums to the point where he's a REAL drummer, not just "the apple that fell from the tree!"

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON!!! GOD BLESS PHIL COLLINS!!!

The internet warriors are out again. I’m a drummer. Nic plays good. He’d wipe the floor with all the negative commentators

[guitarziz]

Like Father, like Son! Outstanding Sir!!!!

[MrFchank]

Nice. Sure can't hurt growing up with one of the best of our generation as your dad. Rock on Sir!!

[mkgte]

Nice one Nic! Phil is my favourite drummer of all time. It's really heartening that you're following his footsteps so well. He will be so proud of you. On behalf of us crusty old prog fans and musicians we fully approve.

Nic will make his own name in music, he´s talented.

[kwcooter]

Very cool! Clean! He’s definitely on point, and that double bass roll was crispy! Bravo young man!

[brianbrown]

Talk about a chip of the old block 😀 you've certainly made your Father proud, what a great drum teacher to have growing up, Nick you have a very special talent.

[dwdrum]

Yeah nicely done, and while we’re at it let’s thank his old man for his outstanding contribution to drumming over the last 50 years too.

Bravo à Nic qui s'améliore chaque jour... ! Phil Collins me manque beaucoup, j'espère qu'il prend soin de sa santé et qu'il est enfin entouré de bons médecins et de gens de confiance. Chaque jour je pense à lui en espérant un retour... . Nic, prenez la relève de votre papa qui est un être Remarquable de sensibilité et de générosité et qui pour moi est LE Meilleur. ... Leland Sklar est aussi un très très bon bassiste... je suis très agréablement surprise de voir un commentaire de Leland ! Merci pour tout. From Paris, Luv.

I’m sure it helps when your father is one of the greatest all around drummers to ever live. Very talented young man right here. Hearing him play some of those classic Genesis songs and not being able to tell the difference between him and Phil is probably one of the biggest compliments I can pay this kid.

There's a documentary in which Gay Mercader (legendary spanish promoter) explains that in 2004, when Phil Collins performed for the last time in Barcelona, he headed of to the backstage an hour before the show and before opening the door he could hear someone playing the drums really well and thought it was Phil rehearsing before the show. He knocked the door but it was Phil who opened...and the sound of that drum was still there. At the end of the room Mercader barely saw a four or five year old kid behind custom drums playing and Mercader was absolutely lost for words watching what Phil Collins son was doing. That kid was Nic.

As the old adage goes, 'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree'...great job.👏

[jerodbosh]

[chrispulham]

Brilliant drumming, sounds absolutely fantastic through my headphones.
