In the Air tonight DRUMS - phil collins on LP

Being this is a thread about Collins' drumming, my comment about not understanding why he doesn't get more respect was in reference to his drumming rather than about his singing, songwriting, or being a cover artist.

A Wiki link about how they got the drum sound for that recording. It appears that there were two drummers and a drum machine.

Onhwy61, I read the Wiki link you posted, including the section titled "Drum Sound", and I could not find any reference to two drummers and a drum machine being used on "In The Air Tonight". All I found was an explanation of the drum sound being an accidental discovery during a Peter Gabriel recording session when Collin's drums were accidentally recorded with the recording engineer's talkback mic engaged, which resulted in the drum sound that was later replicated on "In The Air Tonight".

Maybe, you would cut and paste the two drummer, drum machine reference.

The piece states they used a Roland drum machine up until the climax section. A second drum part was added at the behest of Ahmet Ertegun. It's unclear whether it's Collins or another drummer. So I read it that there were three separate drum parts.

I still don't understand why this thread isn't under Music. I mean, just because it has LP in the title does it really belong here?

I'm just asking because I'd hate to see the Analog forum filled up with posts of this kind, ala AA.
