Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes - drum cover by Steve Tocco

[@joneno1820]

That’s what sets every artist/musician apart from each other. It’s literally an art!

[@lordraven2264]

I saw an interview with Niel Peart talking about how drumming is a dance. He was so right, that was graceful, thank you.

[@DarrylJohnson]

YES!!!! No one wants perfection. "mistakes" are what make you an artist. They put you on the same level with your audience and make them pay attention.

[@jasonortiz903]

Great Job, from a 55 year old study since 11 years old, Love it!!

[@joneno1820]

Dude you are just good!

[@melaniefehserflowergirl7245]

Such a beautiful song. You do t even realize the drums Rock it

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Yes, it is a beautiful song.

[@stevetaylor3361]

Brilliant Steve. You make something extremely difficult look easy. You have a gift.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

+Steve Taylor Thank you so much!! I appreciate your kind support.

[@Oasisrealtygroup]

Amazing. I’m shaking.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you!!!!

[@smeltzerdrums]

YEAH!!!!! Beautiful rendition with complicated sticking, hi hat foot splashes, etc. All with an incredible feel!

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thanks for your kind, supportive comment!!

[@marcellballa5169]

You've got to love those snare rolls inbetween.

[@kennethphillips2213]

I was thinking the same thing! Very tasteful…

[@Jetty-me6cw]

I got goose bumps. Well done my good man. After three decades or so drummers like yourself open those creative doors I often forget about. So, thank you. Mahallo

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you for your kind support. It seems like the best songs are all 30+ years old!!!

[@kennethphillips2213]

@@SteveToccoDrummer I thought it would just because I was getting old… The 70s 80s and 90s had some of the most amazing musicians and material. Everybody today is standing (precariously) on the shoulders of giants. Now, in the days where everybody is autotune and supported by a drum machine, they are all derivative of the great stuff we grew up with. Our parents thought that their music was the best. I think my music was the best. Used to think it was age, but no… It's just a fact!

[@maineiacts]

Same here!! 😄

[@omargraziano3351]

Only just came across this video now. Fantastic drumming.

[@loricarlson6984]

Wow...makes me want to keep practicing. Thank you!

[@saddad6601]

Hands down the best cover of this song on KZbin.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

You are too kind. Thank you!!!!

[@joneno1820]

That’s impressive

[@kennethphillips2213]

I think I have already commented on this before. I've watched several of your drum covers. You're a natural-born player. Completely fluid style which I always strived to achieve. I used to be a major Rush fanatic, so fluid playing wasn't something that came naturally to me through my inspirations. It was only later in my playing that I started appreciating the value and depth that smooth fluid motion played in the overall sound of a performance. Nothing herky-jerky, which I was guilty of. Smooth natural flowing motions… Letting the stick land where it wants. I had just started getting pretty good at this when I suffered a spinal cord injury. So, no more drumming for me! Still, I'm inspired and I live vicariously through guys and gals like yourself. Well done, man… VERY well done!

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you for your thoughtful, supportive comment. I was also a Rush fanatic when I first started playing drums back in 1979 (when I was 18). I learned to play drums quickly because the first songs I learned were Rush and other prog rock/fusion genres. Of the 450+ songs on my channel, I only have one Rush song. I am very sorry to hear of your spinal cord injury. It seems like you don't allow your injury to stifle the enjoyment you get out of life. I am inspired by your upbeat, positive attitude. I wish all the best to you, my KZbin friend and fellow drummer!

[@kennethphillips2213]

​@@SteveToccoDrummer I try to stay upbeat, but it's difficult at times. Being a drummer, you can understand or at least imagine what it means to have the ability to do that kind of thing taken away from you. I was injured when I was 33 years old. I'll be 47 this April. I've only been able to listen to music again in the last four years. Just really beginning to appreciate it again. Anyway… I never picked up on the subtle things being played on the drum kit in this song until only recently. Watching other people play it on KZbin is really help me understand what was really going on within the drum kit. I always assumed that those little things being played in the background were just the percussion/talking drum parts. Even watching Manu Katche playing live, he plays it nothing like he did on the album. Probably because he's not playing with a percussionist. Anyway… Again, great job. Also really enjoyed your cover of Christopher Cross tunes. Those songs really take me back.

Thank you for teaching me how to play this song 👍🏻

excellent work steve, reminds me of Neil peart, the way he drummed,

[@mattforde2010]

I was searching on KZbin to see how I might play this song. I know the answer - I can’t !! Something to aim for I guess!! Beautifully done 👍☘️

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you!! Keep working on it and it will happen!!

[@MichelleDuckettDrumWhisperer]

Excellent playing! I’m just learning this song on the drums in my band. This will help greatly ❤

[@MrElrond330]

Granted, this video was forever ago, I thank you sir. First, simply awesome rendition. Second, this song was my wife and I's wedding song. Having just put together a home studio, I was going to do a video of myself and the kids doing different percussion parts to this for our anniversary. Not going to steal all of it but, totally incorporating.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you for your supportive comment. I'm honored to be a part of your anniversary video. Congratulations too!

[@MrElrond330]

@@SteveToccoDrummer This video just came back across my feed for the first time in two years! lol... I told you I would share my video of doing "In Your Eyes" with my kids for my anniversary a couple years ago, but that never transpired (for many reasons that I'm not going to go into because, it's a long and boring explanation). However, this past June we celebrated our 25th Anniversary, and instead of doing a cover, I wrote and recorded an entire song for my wife. Thought since I didn't come through on the last one, I might as well share this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZvGqaeco7Ctmac

Fantastic! I love musicians that are self taught. My brother is amazingly talented and learned by ear. I think I channeled the love of the drums to my oldest son, Vasillios. You are so talented!

Brings me back to 1986.... one of my top 10 favorites songs... Well done - your snare head was looking clean back then. 😄

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Thank you!! I haven't purchased new drum heads in a few years. I'm getting cheap and stingy in my old age! ;-)

[@Christaffo]

ThIs is the best cover on KZbin, so whichever mistakes you made are only for you to know 😄 I didn't notice any.

[@indydude3367]

This helped me learn the beat. The second snare clinched it. Thanks man!

[@SteveToccoDrummer]
