Peter started out as a drummer before becoming a singer, just like Phil Collins did. I remember seeing Peter play drums during this song on the 1993 tour, but it's more impressive here because he's playing Billy Cobham's drums. Billy is a very techinical drummer with a very unique setup. Tough for anyone to get around on.

Wow I've never seen Peter play the Drums before thanks for this clip. I know he played the drums for genesis very, very early on.

@gideonquinn No young sir, I'm afraid 'tis you who is wrong. I don't need to check the Genesis history. I know my Genesis history. Peter Gabriel started off as a drummer. Before Genesis, he was in a group with Tony Banks called The Garden Wall. He was the singer. BUT before that, he was in a lesser known combo called The Spoken Word. He was their drummer. ; )

@ThefightingCelt I'm afraid that it is you who is wrong. Check your Genesis history :)

@filirani Pete doesn't play guitar never has just piano, drums/percussion and flute
-
@gideonquinn You are quite wrong. Peter Gabriel is a more than competent percussionist and a good drummer.
-
@drumrcal Just right. That was the reason he wanted to use the bass drum on early Genesis: he was a drummer.
-
He writes so well for percussion, I am not the slightest bit surprised that he plays as well as he does.
-
In the early days, Peter would play bass drum with Genesis...hopelessly out of time. So his percussion skills have always been a bit of a myth, really.
Not bad... was he filling up for his drummer for the whole show, or was it just for fun on one song?

Hi, the drummer on this show was Billy Cobham. Peter played only this part of the song. However, it's not simple see him plays other instruments, except keyboards, but we know that he plays flute, guitar, drums ecc.
