- Another magnificent song by Peter Gabriel. There are way too many clams (mistakes) but I'm posting it anyway according to my rule: record and post the first take, mistakes and all.

That’s what sets every artist/musician apart from each other. It’s literally an art!
Such a beautiful song. You do t even realize the drums Rock it
Yes, it is a beautiful song.
YES!!!! No one wants perfection. "mistakes" are what make you an artist. They put you on the same level with your audience and make them pay attention.
You've got to love those snare rolls inbetween.
I was thinking the same thing! Very tasteful…
Amazing. I’m shaking.
Thank you!!!!
I got goose bumps. Well done my good man. After three decades or so drummers like yourself open those creative doors I often forget about. So, thank you. Mahallo
Thank you for your kind support. It seems like the best songs are all 30+ years old!!!
@@SteveToccoDrummer I thought it would just because I was getting old… The 70s 80s and 90s had some of the most amazing musicians and material. Everybody today is standing (precariously) on the shoulders of giants. Now, in the days where everybody is autotune and supported by a drum machine, they are all derivative of the great stuff we grew up with. Our parents thought that their music was the best. I think my music was the best. Used to think it was age, but no… It's just a fact!
Same here!! 😄
Brilliant Steve. You make something extremely difficult look easy. You have a gift.
+Steve Taylor Thank you so much!! I appreciate your kind support.
YEAH!!!!! Beautiful rendition with complicated sticking, hi hat foot splashes, etc. All with an incredible feel!
Thanks for your kind, supportive comment!!
Granted, this video was forever ago, I thank you sir. First, simply awesome rendition. Second, this song was my wife and I's wedding song. Having just put together a home studio, I was going to do a video of myself and the kids doing different percussion parts to this for our anniversary. Not going to steal all of it but, totally incorporating.
Thank you for your supportive comment. I'm honored to be a part of your anniversary video. Congratulations too!
@@SteveToccoDrummer I'll share it with you when I'm done! Thanks again...
Oh, and give you some credit.. lol
This is AMAZING!! I play drum , you are an artist!! I never really knew how hard that song is to play and you make it look super easy. Super cool!!
Holy shit dude! You did a great job capturing Manu’s drum line!
You nailed it
And he plays in time which is more than Manu ever managed!
@@cartonmardybum
Manu is an incredibly gifted percussionist
@@joneno1820 who notoriously can't play in time or to a click....
ThIs is the best cover on UA-cam, so whichever mistakes you made are only for you to know 😄
I didn't notice any.
Thank you!!! And thanks for not noticing all the mistakes!!!!!
I think I have already commented on this before. I've watched several of your drum covers. You're a natural-born player. Completely fluid style which I always strived to achieve. I used to be a major Rush fanatic, so fluid playing wasn't something that came naturally to me through my inspirations. It was only later in my playing that I started appreciating the value and depth that smooth fluid motion played in the overall sound of a performance. Nothing herky-jerky, which I was guilty of. Smooth natural flowing motions… Letting the stick land where it wants. I had just started getting pretty good at this when I suffered a spinal cord injury. So, no more drumming for me! Still, I'm inspired and I live vicariously through guys and gals like yourself. Well done, man… VERY well done!
Thank you for your thoughtful, supportive comment. I was also a Rush fanatic when I first started playing drums back in 1979 (when I was 18). I learned to play drums quickly because the first songs I learned were Rush and other prog rock/fusion genres. Of the 450+ songs on my channel, I only have one Rush song. I am very sorry to hear of your spinal cord injury. It seems like you don't allow your injury to stifle the enjoyment you get out of life. I am inspired by your upbeat, positive attitude. I wish all the best to you, my UA-cam friend and fellow drummer!
@@SteveToccoDrummer I try to stay upbeat, but it's difficult at times. Being a drummer, you can understand or at least imagine what it means to have the ability to do that kind of thing taken away from you. I was injured when I was 33 years old. I'll be 47 this April. I've only been able to listen to music again in the last four years. Just really beginning to appreciate it again. Anyway… I never picked up on the subtle things being played on the drum kit in this song until only recently. Watching other people play it on UA-cam is really help me understand what was really going on within the drum kit. I always assumed that those little things being played in the background were just the percussion/talking drum parts. Even watching Manu Katche playing live, he plays it nothing like he did on the album. Probably because he's not playing with a percussionist. Anyway… Again, great job. Also really enjoyed your cover of Christopher Cross tunes. Those songs really take me back.
That’s impressive
Great Job, from a 55 year old study since 11 years old, Love it!!
Wow...makes me want to keep practicing. Thank you!
Excellent playing! I’m just learning this song on the drums in my band. This will help greatly ❤
I'm glad my video was some help to you. Thanks!!!
Seeing someone play it helps alot. For me anyway. You'll get there. Keep practicing!!
Dude you are just good!
Best cover I've seen. I will have months of fun trying to copy this.k
I was searching on UA-cam to see how I might play this song. I know the answer - I can’t !! Something to aim for I guess!! Beautifully done 👍☘️
Thank you!! Keep working on it and it will happen!!
my favorite song. well done
You area great drummer, love the sound of your toms.
Thank you very much!!!
Hands down the best cover of this song on UA-cam.
You are too kind. Thank you!!!!
Astounding. Amazing
excellent work steve, reminds me of Neil peart, the way he drummed,
KILLED IT. I wish I could play this song
Masterfully done.
Lee Toowey Wow, I've never connected the word "masterful" with my drumming but thank you!!
Lee Toowey
I agree!
Incredible Manu drumming!!!!
Freaking NAILED IT!
this is such a hard song to drum. The hi-hats are what really drives it and you killed it!
Add in the correct tom beats and its just like the original.
Incredibly great !
Incredibly kind of you to say so!!! Thank you!
Wonderful Steve!
Awesome job! Manu's drumming is difficult to emulate.
Brilliant job sir.
wow. impressive playing. well done
Damn this sounds so awesome......my favorite song of all time. I listen to your upload instead of the real song thanks
Thank you very much! My drums are just an interpretation...the original track is fantastic WITHOUT me.
Always like coming back to this one. Your high-hat rolls and overall drumming is just so on..... why do I think I could imagine you singing this song back in the day.
Thank you!!
Thoroughly enjoyable groove. Thanks for posting.
Great Job. I need to learn this track for a new band I’m joining…and this is the perfect cover to learn from.
Thank you!!
This helped me learn the beat. The second snare clinched it. Thanks man!
I'm glad this video helped you!!! Just a note that the groove I am playing (and the side snare) is my own interpretation...I'm not following the original drum recording.
SWEET ... nice one Steve!
Your talent is insane, Tocco.
You are too kind. Thank you!!!
What a Badazz cover,great work
Thank you!
Love this song. Great job Steve!
You are actually an amazing drummer dude!
Thank you!!!
Fantastic! I love musicians that are self taught. My brother is amazingly talented and learned by ear. I think I channeled the love of the drums to my oldest son, Vasillios. You are so talented!
Dude - YOU are a great example of lots of hard work & dedication - CHEERS to you - you SOUND GREAT...
Wow, thank you!!! I must admit that I did (and still do) dedicate a lot of hard work and dedication to playing the drums. Thanks again!!!
Man this is excellent ..need to see more videos
Thank you!! Here’s a link to my channel. I have over 550 songs as of right now. Take care!! m.ua-cam.com/users/steverinosiciliano1videos
Great cover!!! I love this song, and you performance is great!
Good Job STEVE!!! Sanks!!!
Brilliant Steve love your style
Thank you!!!!
Love it, Steve!
Thank you!!!
Absolutely brilliant !
Awesome job .
Great job!!!!!! .......IT JUST HAD TO BE,for such a great song by the genius of Mr Peter Gabriel
Flawless
Ahhhh...I wish it were flawless. I have 400+ drum covers on my channel and every one of them have mistakes. It's part of being a weekend warrior instead of a full fledged pro. Thank you!!!
Sweet job! This is what real drumming is all about!
Very clever. thanks for posting
Thank you. It's my poor man's, weekend warrior attempt to emulate the great Manu Katche.
Only just came across this video now. Fantastic drumming.
Awesome 👏 🙏
Very nice !!!!
Fabulous
Love your taste in music, sound great!!!
Stellar performance, Steve.
Bravo! Great job! I know that just didn't happen overnight. Reminds me that I need to get behind my set and start over with a slow blues 😞. Anyway, great job!
Perfect rhythm, and meter I'm impressed, your skill level is amazing and you do it so effortlessly, well done ✅👍
Thank you!!
Great job Steve on an awesome all time song.
Thank you!!!
Amazing song and I'm sure the drumming is harder than it looks. Fantastic job!
Thank you!! The drum part I am playing is just my interpretation. The original song was probably recorded in various layers. I'm making it way more complicated.
@@SteveToccoDrummer Interesting and thanks for sharing. You definitely captured the musical spirit of the original drumming!
Excellent Cover!!!
Came across this by mistake but was was mesmerized and had listen several times. Just wish I could play the drums half as well as you do Steve! Magnificant cover.
Thank you for your kind, supportive comment!!! It means a lot to a weekend warrior drummer like me!!!
Peter Gabriel always remember me my father, nice cover
Steve “the great” plays beautifully to the great Manu Katché! Love your playing as always 👍
Thank you!!!
Very accomplished drummer.Thanks for this insightful video.
Thanks for your kind support!!!
Dude! That was great
Thank you! I'm just hacking away in my basement.
Well Done, Steve!!!! I have ALWAYS loved this awesome Gabe song and others by him!! Have you ever heard this song covered by Nancy Wilson ?? Lovely soulful femme take... I forget which album..Good grief!! I need to break out my c.d.s and dust them off!!!!😉🙄
Oh, silly question..what drum is that on your left?? Just love those tom-tom sounds!! Will be watching this one over!!
Peace and Harmony!!🎶🎵🎹
God damn! You made that look like so much fun. Gave me chills.
I'm gonna have to noodle around and practice this song.
Great performance! Mistakes and all. 👍
Thank you! Yes, this song is a super fun to play.
GREAT SENSE OF GROOVE & AMAZING EMBELLISHMENTS Great job - l absolutely love it...
Thank you!!
Gorgeous work!
Thank you! I appreciate your kind support!
Great! I'm trying to learn this fantastic song and your play had helped me so much! :-) Thanks a lot!
Glad my video helped you out! Thanks!!
Fantastic job, buddy. Watched this a few times now and posted to my FB. Thanks for this angle.
Wow, thanks for the supportive comment and for sharing the video on your FB page. I am humbled and honored.
Mistakes? That's just flavor! Great cover Steve
Mistakes are flavor. I like that. If that's the case, then my drumming is EXTREMELY flavorful. :-)
Brings me back to 1986.... one of my top 10 favorites songs... Well done - your snare head was looking clean back then. 😄
Thank you!! I haven't purchased new drum heads in a few years. I'm getting cheap and stingy in my old age! ;-)
Excellent drumming.
Nice job Steve.
Thank you!
Great playing man
Thank you!!
Awesome job man!!
Thank you. It's just my interpretation of the song. Manu Katche (the original drummer on the song) is a BEAST!!
Well done!
Thank you!
goodness that was beautiful
Great job!
Lo voy a compartir en mi Facebbok, se lo merece señor.
Gracias!!!
love it
Thank you!!
DUDE! This is my first time searching the subject, you came up and I'm speechless. You nailed it! I hope You still play!
Thank you!! I sure do still play. My UA-cam channel has 500+ songs and I currently play in four live bands. The only time I will stop playing drums is when I die. LOL
Really good drummer... just got back to playing after 30 years... got lots of practice to do
That was awesome!
Thank you!!! It's a wonderful song!!
Man that’s an awesome job, wish I had half your talent. You make it look effortless!!
Thank you! I assure you it's not effortless. I've been playing since I was 18 years old and I am still not "there" yet.
Wow great job. Great sounding kit and I like how you incorporated a bit of Manu's live version fills
Thank you. I've never heard the live version of this song but I'm happy I stumbled into some of Manu's fills!
Very nice Steve 👍👌💪🏻
Nice!
You make it look so easy. Great job. Working on this on keyboards. Your focus, demeanor and profile remind me of Neil Peart.
LOL!! I've had comments on many of my videos telling me that I look like Neil Peart. Maybe some of his DNA formed inside me from playing along with RUSH songs when I first started playing the drums? Thank you!!!
Love it! If snare rolls is your style then keep it! Every musician has their thing they like and sounds and feels good
Congratulation ! ! ! You are a very good drummer.
