A Message to Aspiring Drummers About the "In the Air Tonight" Drum Fill

I’m putting this out there for everyone to see, outsiders, members, clowns, mailmen, mailwomen, Phil Collins, etc. Now you listen directly to me, every cover I’ve ever heard of this plays this fucking fill incorrectly. People just want to do the tom rolls. Well, I’ll forgive you if you never noticed since it’s relatively subtle, but let me tell you something quiet. Here come on, lean closer to your screen… THERE ARE GOD DAMN KICK DRUM HITS IN BETWEEN THE TOMS. IF YOU ONLY PLAY THE TOMS IT SOUNDS EMPTY AND YOU ARE FUCKING UP THE TOTALITY OF THE BRILLIANT PIECE OF DRUMMING! AAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH! Carry on.
