In 1979, Phil Collins was drumming on Peter Gabriel's third solo album when engineer Hugh Padgham's talkback mic, fed through an aggressive compressor and noise gate, caught the kit with a huge explosive crunch. Gabriel told Collins to keep drumming for ten minutes. Padgham then dismantled the console to rewire the circuit so the sound could be recorded properly. Two years later, Collins used it for the drum break on "In the Air Tonight," and the accidental "gated reverb" became the defining drum sound of the 1980s.
