This resulted in an either/or decision and he opted for music full time.
Perry more than once stated that he had played piano until he saw Ringo Starr and The Beatles on TV. Some of the other drummers that influenced Perry are Keith Moon, Ginger Baker, Mitch Mitchell, Clive Bunker, John Bonham, a lot of the English guys.
