Jeff-Ray [Genesis - Watcher of the Skies - Drums cover]

Hi, since there is not a lot of drummers covering this song on youtube, I thought it would be fun doing it. I hope you'll enjoy watching this.

For those of you who only know the poppy side of Genesis, I hope you'll discover the Peter Gabriel era with this video, which was really important in prog rock history.

I tried to play it as close as Phil Collins played it on foxtrot. Forgive me if I made some mistakes...

And about the drum size, I know Phil Collins didn't have this kit, plus he's left-handed, but I don't wan't to tear my drum apart everytime I make a video different from Dream Theater.

Have fun ;-)

Fantastic! Very well done.  Did you learn this by 'ear' or do you have a transcription?

[JeffrayFiset]

@shootingalbatross I learned it by ear.

From a huge Genesis fan and also a drummer just like you: A-MA-ZING

You nailed it and you also nailed the way Phil used to play it, there's the right feeling, the dynamics and everything is at the right place.

Greetings and congrats from Italy :)

[JeffrayFiset]

@Utcheeow Thanks!

hi Jeff.. good drumming!! :) i'm also a drummer.. what is your drum? and your snare?? (great sound):D

[JeffrayFiset]

@MauroPWA I made my drum myself, I explain a little bit about ir on my channel but I plan on making another bass drum. Maybe I'll make a video "how to make a drum"... to be continued...

[JeffrayFiset]

Considero a PHIL COLLINS el mejor baterista de la historia y si puedes tocar una canción tan difícil como es Watcher of the Sky me quito el sombrero y te felicito!!! Eres un muy buen baterista
