PRINTER FRIENDLY

Phil Collin's mid-eighties hit 'Easy Lover' kicks-off with an explosive 8-measure drum feature.

Until the last bar, the hands are always played together for extra power – hitting 2 crashes/toms in unison, or a power-flam on the snare. Collin’s use of space and strong, unpredictable phrases makes it one of the all-time classic drum intros.
