Surprised Martin didn't talk about Phil Collins stealing his Drum Sound from Flowers of Romance for the In The Air Tonight album ... same producer!

[@bent2]

Actually, that gated sound was first introduced on Peter Gabriels third album. Produced by Steve Lilywhite.

If you haven’t read his books, you are truly doing yourselves a great injustice.... P.I.L. 4 EVER!!!

[@jacksonfritts2988]

Literally some of the best drumming I’ve heard. Everything I love about rhythm and style in one dude.

[@kevcatnip7589]

lovely guy ,always replies to tweets ,,,,god bless his not up your assiness

[@williamkjwilliamkj1815]

I wouldn’t have learned how to play drums if it wasn’t for this guy, Bill Rieflin RIP Chris Vrenna, And Rey Washam to name a few...These guys in the industrial, alternative, punk, & metal scene were my early inspirations. Hats off to you Mr. Atkins!

[@Tomversal]

Honestly, if PiL performed more honest tracks instead of just the singles, these ones would be insanely powerful live

[@ggoldfingers]

Give that man a cookie. My favourite drummer

[@delhidelirium9091]

NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW ... IN THE SUUUUUUUUUMEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( don´t you just feel like taking some £1 shop mike and get on that stage ? I know I do )

[@batphink2655]

Very unorthodox drumming stlye (ex pro here) but he's ROCK solid! That is the most important quality as s drummer before everything else. Martin seems a cool guy too and somehow retained his sense of humour.

[@Tomversal]

JOAN OF ARC WAS A SORCERER!!

[@struttingbirdlofi]

Hmm Flowers of Romance drumming does sound a bit off. I think I read somewhere that Keith drummed on that track? It's def Martin on Four Enclosed and Under The House tho you can tell within seconds...

[@Tomversal]

I think Keith has some percussive stuff on it, like his own drums, if you watch the TOTP performance Keith has some toms

[@realsinisterminister]

@@Tomversal yea they were miming although im sure you knew that.......John played drums as well....so he says

[@lastoftheurgents1965]

Sometimes I listen to Murder Inc and Pigface JUST to hear Atkins drumming

[@gsnayl]

1:36 WOW

[@fahrizebuth3034]

EXCELLENT ! c'est selon !

[@jedeyetown]

[@Magspiper]

PiL

[@coreyfellows9420]

It literally could be on any ministry album... So unique

[@mr.pinkerton6393]

well being Martin only played on one Ministry tour, I would say it could be on any Pigface album

[@zellah]

@@mr.pinkerton6393 and the "Head Like a Hole" video, too.
