When i was on the song Beauty Of A Dream and the drums kicked in, one part of the drums sounded like something Phil Collins would do...like he did on In The Air Tonight and thought that is him on the drums. On here it says a different person's name on drums...a David Owens on drums...I was like dang, it isn't Phil Collins after all.
