@@AndrewRooneyDrums I grew up with a father constantly playing The Beatles, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel and many more! He played drums in a classic rock cover band. I hope to find myself fortunate enough to buy a kit and learn to play someday!
Blimey, that brought back some memories. My girlfriend at that time was a Genesis/Peter Gabriel nut (her cousin worked in promo' side of their record company so, she had everything they'd recorded for free), I'd seen Genesis as a warm up band - they were relatively local to me and I wasn't so impressed. Then Gabriel left the band and started his solo career, it was transformational for both the band and for PG. I went, with said GF, to see Gabriel's solo show (a touch reluctantly I'll admit) and was blown away, he started with "Jeux Sans Frontieres" with himself and all the other stage singers walking through the audience, singing the song, all with masks on so no-one knew which one was PG. It just got better and better and is probably one of the best live solo act shows I've seen. For me, Genesis with Phil Collins as vocalist was also a move forward, we duly went to see some of their shows too, and even when covering the older stuff (Nursery Crimes et al) were enhanced by not having the overblown costumes stuff. Been a fan of both ever since and PG's Sledgehammer (video made specifically for MTV) is one of my favourite songs. Lovely drumming mate, just thought I'd get some memories out there before the brain atrophies and I forget.
Excellent job. Love that song, and that whole album. Such a great bass line over that beat. Tony Levin and Manu Katche made a fantastic rhythm section.
Manu Katche could say a million things with a flam stop ! .. love this song ( and everything Peter Gabriel ever did ) . Peace and love brother you made it smooth ..✌💚
Very relaxed. Excellent job. Have you seen the version Harry Styles did for the Howard Stern show? It seems like in that version his drummer opens the hi-hat a lot more.
Andrew, Loved the cover. This really takes me back to high school. A very innovative video at the time. The album really showed Gabriel had some reach after leaving Genesis.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums I’m looking through your Channel now, omg how did I not see all these 🤯 I thought you only had an e kit…😅 I’m going to burn in hell, sorry!!
well happy birthday Mr Rooney if it's wed in New Zealand yet still Tuesday here i searched this one after watching someone on Alesis strike pro Wich sounded great so i wanted to hear it on a real kit so the first video i think the guy was playing it right, but his floor tom sounded terrible not sure if it was tuning but went back scrolled down not far and here you are again with notation superb and your floor tom on that vintage or vintage looking kit sounded great exactly like it should i had no idea this was such interesting one on the drums awesome execution and concentration face lol
Good cover, one of my favourite songs to play along to. I know it note for note, but I find it's a good one to build my own ideas from. Also, thanks for showing the sheet music for it. I can't really read myself and following it as you play is a great way of learning. Incidentally, is Manu Katche not one the most unjustly underappreciated drummers?
Just for grins, have you checked out Harry Styles cover of Sledge Hammer on Howard Stern last year... Sounds so much like a younger PG..! Be an enjoyable tag along.! Thx. J
Fun to watch (and an absolute favorite song of mine). Question from a non-drummer -- it was easy for me to follow how the drums were notated in the transcription, but I'm curious to know when you get onto a kit with a bunch of additional drums (think: Gavin Harrison's kit on Anesthetize), how do you end up notating that? Do the cymbals just get pushed up higher, or...? It seemed like some of the "notes" on the staff in this transcription ended up doing double duty for a couple of cymbals, but I can't imagine that would work for drums that are tuned low to high.
Great question Mike. You are dead right. You can add cymbals/toms ad infinitum just into higher ledger lines. Toms on lines as opposed to in the spaces
@@damnyankeefl Oh right! Well spotted. I was reading off the PDF. There can be small discrepancies between the rolling video and the PDF. I played everything in the PDF. I did put the big triplet fills around the toms for fun at the end as opposed to staying on the snare :)
@@mposh Thanks for the clarification. I knew there was a reason Jerry Marotta's name popped into my head though. Perhaps I'm not as crazy as everyone thinks I am. LOL
Really enjoyed and appreciated that, thanks. For another from the album, you might wanna check out Yoyoka's astounding cover - reinterpretation of Steam, when she was just 9. Enjoy! ruclips.net/video/OZJhhY5h9Hc/видео.html

Hands down the best, cleanest non ‘showy’ cover I’ve seen/heard on RUclips so far.
Wow too kind!
I loved that album.
GREAT album Michael!

Sick snare sound man!!
Toight! Love the flam right before 2nd verse
I love the whole song! Masterpiece :)

100% killer rhythm section. Peter Gabriel wasn't mucking around with his band!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums hard to believe it was practically an afterthought when it was recorded.

Finally someone playing it exactly how it's played! So I can finally figure it out for myself. One of my favourite songs ever. Perfect! Thankyou.
Manu Katche could say a million things with a flam stop ! ..
love this song ( and everything Peter Gabriel ever did ) .
Peace and love brother you made it smooth ..✌💚
YES Springy!
Makes it look so easy!! Loved it!!!!

Like a toiger?
Very nice, locking with the groove. The mix is awesome.
Much appreciated Wendell!

Glad you liked it Peter!
Well done ! I have always loved the sweet little fill at 3:52!
Yes Brad! 🙌
Great swing and pocket Andrew! Well done mate 🤘😎🍻
🙏
Such a great groove
Nice work! Good focus!
Such a nice kit, sounds amazing! Well done mate!

Me too Carla!
Very smooth! Also, that snare tone! 🤌👌
Thanks James! A&F drums :)
Bravo Andrew, very well rendered this version of SledgeHammer by Peter Gabriel, thank you and good job.
Many thanks!
Very relaxed. Excellent job. Have you seen the version Harry Styles did for the Howard Stern show? It seems like in that version his drummer opens the hi-hat a lot more.
Hell. Yes. 🤩 (Love your shirt, also.)
Thanks Cassy! 🙏

Definitely Kevin. Great artist
Peter Gabriel in Genesis was pretty damn good. 4 timeless S tier albums 4 years in a row
Nice Andrew, as usual totally in the groove!
Thanks for listening Marlene!
Drum goal, right there! Awesome!
🙌
Wow mate, first 5 seconds and I was loving the grove you have and the sound, excellent drum recording. Tight fills as well, really nice man.
Thanks Matt!!!
Great tune, was just showing this video to a co-worker the other day. Youngins....
So good Craig!
First….time I’ve seen you on a real kit! Nice work Andrew! ❤️
What!?
I've got literally hundreds of vids on this channel playing a real kit LOL
@@AndrewRooneyDrums I’m looking through your Channel now, omg how did I not see all these 🤯
I thought you only had an e kit…😅
I’m going to burn in hell, sorry!!
@@SillyOlive If it makes you feel any better, I'm in exactly the same situation, haha.
@@SillyOlive HAHA!!!
Love it!
Well done.
Thanks Rick!
Nice job, Andy! Couldn't have done it better myself! I'm gonna start calling you "Captain Coffee, the Pocket Man" if you keep this up!
Cargo pants Rooney! 🤣👌
Great stuff! Thank you
Crackin job
Thanks Bryan!
Buen cover Andrew. Saludos 🇨🇱
Gracias Oscar!
Nice to see you on the acoustic kit, sounds good man. Nice work, I can feel the groove.
Hey, thanks Kayne!
Nice brother really 👌
I seen another one covering this one but this one is excellent same as the hihat like the original 👏
Great cover!
I always loved the drum sound on So. That big ‘80s gated reverb snare sounds cheesy and dated to some people, but I miss it.
I'm still stuck in the 80's :)
Smooth yet powerful performance, my friend. Well done.
Thanks Greg!!
well happy birthday Mr Rooney if it's wed in New Zealand yet still Tuesday here i searched this one after watching someone on Alesis strike pro Wich sounded great so i wanted to hear it on a real kit so the first video i think the guy was playing it right, but his floor tom sounded terrible not sure if it was tuning but went back scrolled down not far and here you are again with notation superb and your floor tom on that vintage or vintage looking kit sounded great exactly like it should i had no idea this was such interesting one on the drums awesome execution and concentration face lol
Great playing 👍 this one and big time my favs that he does.
Yes Ted! That's a great one too
Great cover of a rad song!!!!!! Improta now; he’ll blow your mind and increase your drumming thought/theory. 😉
I'll get there Rob!
Pro work
Thanks William!
You picked a great song to play!
Yo thanks!
This is great!! Awesome job! Love this song too ❤️
Thank you Maite!
solid
NAILED IT!
Yo! Thanks Cristiano!
Nice cover! And UNDERRATED album. May I suggest taking a look at Alex Camarena live- first born/interlude? Thanks!
Thanks Alex!!!
It's a pop song, but has so many good features like groove, and deep pockets.
Yes! Manu Katche masterclass
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Is that the drummer's name ?
@@michaelb.42112 Yes! Legendary French session drummer

Manu is one of the true greats Graham!!
A bit more going on here than in his friend Kate's song recently! 😉 Great playing, Andrew! 👏😊
Yup! The one and only Manu Katche on drums
@@AndrewRooneyDrums - Yeah! 😀👍 The rhythm reminds me of Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition', and also 'Slave To The Rhythm' by Grace Jones 🙂
@@mightyV444 very much so!!!

@@AndrewRooneyDrums Ah, cool, thanks!
@@MikeKobb anytime!
You should listen to the Dave matthews version. It is phenomenal
you played it right but I found errors in the printed music before the vocal started lol. it's always the way isn't it
Oh which bars Robert? Cheers
Can’t seen it good enough on phone to Count them but there are couple of spots where you play the and of four on the bass drum that isn’t notated
@@damnyankeefl Oh right!
Well spotted. I was reading off the PDF.
There can be small discrepancies between the rolling video and the PDF.
I played everything in the PDF.
I did put the big triplet fills around the toms for fun at the end as opposed to staying on the snare :)
@@AndrewRooneyDrums i majored in music ;-)
I Liked the toms.I’m gonna steal that idea :-)
I just reached into my pocket for a lighter and pulled this out instead. Lovely surprise.
HAHA Tim. Awesome :)
Dryer than a popcorn fart...excellent
Off the top of my head: Jerry Marotta played this originally?
Jerry did play drums on the album, but Manu Katche did this song.

@@mposh Thanks for the clarification. I knew there was a reason Jerry Marotta's name popped into my head though. Perhaps I'm not as crazy as everyone thinks I am. LOL
