Iconic Drum Solo

You're sitting around minding your own business, In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins comes on, and you can't help but jam out when the drums do that amazing drum solo. You don't know why, but there's something about that solo that makes you want to act it out and look like a complete maniac. This was Phil Collins' first single as a solo artist, and he really outdid himself here. This song was literally built off of the drum track. Collins said in an interview that, "'In the Air Tonight' was just a drum machine pattern that I took off that CR78 drum machine. You could eliminate certain sounds and program bass drums and snare drums, so I programmed a bass drum part into it, but basically the rest of it was already on there." Check it out and jam out: Until next time, roll the Mellow Dice and hope for Midnight.
