The Drum Sound That Changed Music Forever

I'm Jeffrey Curtis, and in this Vlogtastrophe episode, we're diving into how reverb in music can sound dated today! Learn about the evolution of the Gated Reverb, with a how-to section at the end to illustrate. This is the sound that changed everything—and it wasn’t even supposed to exist. In the late 70s, drum sounds were dry and polite. Then Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, and a studio mishap birthed a sonic revolution: gated reverb. From Genesis to solo careers, from “Intruder” to “In the Air Tonight,” this effect reshaped the 80s and beyond.

In this video, we explore the accidental invention of gated reverb, its explosion across the music industry, and why it still matters today. Whether you love Phil Collins or just want to recreate this iconic sound in your DAW—we’ve got you. Get ready to groove to the most unexpected tunes! In this video, we're diving into the fascinating world of accidental music revolutions! Think you know what's coming? Think again! Join us on this rhythmic ride and discover the unplanned masterpieces that will leave you humming for days!
