The Prize

This auction is for a snare drum signed by Phil Collins.

This vintage John Grey and Sons vintage snare drum was signed by Phil Collins in his studio during the 1990s around the production of his Dance Into The Light record. The snare is signed by the man himself and includes two signature drumsticks.

This item was kindly donated to longtime Truant and friend of the Heavy Metal Truants Robin Moore, of Hit & Run Music Publishing - Phil Collins’ longtime music publisher.

Phil Collins is an English singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, record producer and actor. He is known as the drummer and lead singer in the rock band Genesis and as a solo artist. Collins had more US top 40 singles than any other artist during the 1980s. Collins' discography includes eight studio albums that have sold 33.5 million certified units in the US and an estimated 150 million worldwide, making him one of the world's best-selling artists. He is one of three recording artists, along with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, who have sold over 100 million albums worldwide both as solo artists and separately as principal members of a band.

Robin Moore has donated this experience to the Heavy Metal Truants to support Nordoff Robbins, Childline & Teenage Cancer Trust

The Cause

The Heavy Metal Truants is a charity cycling group co-founded by Metal Hammer’s former editor-in-chief, Alexander Milas, and Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood to equally benefit three charities: Childline, Nordoff Robbins and Teenage Cancer Trust. To date, it has raised £338,000.

Now in its fifth year, the cycle ride consists of an annual, three-day, 164-mile pedal from London to the Download Festival, and it’s open to fans, bands, and industry types alike. A component of these fundraising efforts is the annual Monster Rock Auction, featuring rare memorabilia generously donated by the great and good of the rock and metal industry.

"The Heavy Metal Truants are an extraordinary group of people," says Alexander Milas, "but what's really remarkable is just how supportive the greater musical community has been with such generous and unique donations. We hope you’ll enjoy, bid generously, and please keep checking back as we’ll be adding more in the coming weeks!”
