Phil Collins
I remember people saying that was the Peter Gabriel drum sound, but I was the guy who played that stuff on the third album, “Intruder” and all that. It was as much mine, because with that kind of drum sound, you’re composing [sings drum beat from “Intruder”]. That was me, you know? I came up with that. So don’t tell me it’s a Peter Gabriel-esque drum sound. That’s me! But I do admire Peter tremendously as a songwriter—he writes songs I wish I’d written.
