Premier 717 Elite Black custom kit

The Premier B717 black single-headed tom kit is a kit which Phil Collins had from 1976. This kit was used for much of Phil's studio work between 1976 and 1986. More significantly, this was the very kit that features on "In The Air Tonight" and Peter Gabriel's "Intruder", both of which pioneer the gated reverb effect on the drums developed at The Townhouse Studio in London.

However, the kit wasn't entirely restricted to studio use: Phil played this kit live on the Wind And Wuthering (1977) and Abacab (1981) tours.

The 1977 configuration of this kit included 10" and 12" Remo Rototoms, which were removed.
