    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!

      When I saw him perform at the US Open I started watching for his performances. At the time I could not get over how someone so young could handle the pressure of that venue. I’ve enjoyed watching him mature as a musician and as a man. I’ve put him on my list of “watch this kid grow into himself and his talent” and I share his videos with many people. The fact that a talented musician like yourself recognizes the talent and person speaks volumes.

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. ...

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.

    Nic is a fantastic drummer. I will add this remark as a long time drummer and drum teacher. Nic has taken “genetic” talent, and then over the last 5 or so year’s, honed his craft. Whether with a teacher, or self-education, now plays with a fluency and intricate ability that’s astonishing. His Drumeo session’s covering Genesis era tune’s is a true testament to his abilities and to his growth as a musician. I admire Nic a great deal. Bravo ❤

    • @blastfromthepast8344
      @blastfromthepast8344 Рік тому +2

      Genetic talent is, of course, one way of putting it. One could also add that he's taken his dad's name and his ability to open doors which, to many drummers, would remain closed. Plenty of people have talent... not everyone has a multi-millionaire, famous drummer/composer/singer/actor as a dad! I wonder which of these helped him the most...?
