Phil Collins and LinnDrum

This is clip from a Genesis rehearsal video from '86-'87. Mama was originally composed on a Linn LM-1, as opposed to a LinnDrum seen here.

Awesome clip. I love these videos from the 80's. I remember how expensive these units were. I would walk into a music store, grab a set of headphones and play one, then go home and cry... hahaha. These things were so far removed from the teenage home musician it was crazy. I remember when I got my first Roland D50 I had like 6 guys over from school just for the unboxing haha.

Best way to compose, all together in person collaborating.

The dad of my best friend growing up had a Linn Drum! We used to play on it all the time!

Great clip thanks for posting. According to Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford is responsible for the Mama drum pattern. The album sound was achieved by routing the Linn Drum through an AMS RM16 Reverb to give the weird gated effect.

Maybe, but during the Invisible Touch tour he used an E-mu SP-12. It can be seen on stage at Wembley.

Yes it was composed on Linn LM-1 but nowadays LM-1 is extremely rare thing :(
